    I'm in the US right now and want to buy ipad2 wifi 3G. Can I change the SIM card when I get back to my country in Indonesia?

    Yes, as long as you purchase the GSM version (AT&T) and your Indonesian carrier supports an iPad with a micro-sim.  Unlike the iPhone in the USA, the iPad is not locked to a carrier.

  • If I get my iphone unlocked can I buy a sim card in Spain and then use it there and get free 3g access

    No. You can't activate any iPhone without a sim card installed. The sim card itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. Since you updated the software, the phone requires re-activation, thus you need a sim card. You can borrow one from someone, but bottom line, you need a sim card.

  • I have installed the new up to date itunes which i can open on my PC, however when i connect my ipad or iphone i get an error saying i cannot use the device as the require software isn't installed?? I'm very confused please help......

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Can I move a Sim card between phones - and a phone between carriers?

    I have a Verizon iPhone 5C and am on the Verizon network. I recently was left (in a will sadly) an AT&T iPhone 6 Plus. I tried just replacing the AT&T sim card with the Verizon one, but a message shows up that it needs to be activated (so I'm moving it back to my iPhone 5C). I'm wondering if I take it to my Verizon store (I can take all the paperwork to prove it is mine) if they can/ will activate the sim card in this iPhone 6 plus or if it really won't work. I figured someone on here would have already tried or have done it already and know the steps to get it working if possible. Thanks!

    Verizon will not activate a phone on their network that was not sold specifically for use on their network. If they have not rolled out VoLTE in your area, there would be no way it could physically work anyway.
    Your best bet would be to sell the AT&T iPhone 6 and use the proceeds to buy a phone for Verizon if you intend to stick with Verizon.

  • Purchased ipad in united states and moving to geneva, switzerland; can i purchase a sim card for ipad in geneva switzerland

    can i purchase a new sim card for my ipad2 since i am relocating to europe--geneva switzerland

    Yes, as iPads with 3G are usually not SIM locked, you could exchange the US micro SIM with a new one from Switzerland.

  • I have an iPhone 5 from verizon, can I buy a sim card in europe and replace the one from verizon?

    My iPhone5 is model A1429.
    I purchased it through Verizon within the last 9 months.
    Can I just buy a new sim card and replace the Verizon one while I am in Europe for 25 days?

    After 10 days in Scandinavia, this is what I have learned:
    1.) getting the mini or nano sim has been impossible _ in Sweden, Norway and Denmark the carriers I worked with have the old sim cards that they suggest that you trim down to nano size.  The one I tried was still too thick to fit in the sim card drawer on my iphone 5.
    2.) Verizon was very cooperative and unlocked my phone before I left the USA.
    3.) The Verizon plan may be competitive with plans that cover multiple countries in Europe.  The pricing is sufficiently confusing that providers are hard to compare, ie. initial plan / sim card purchase amout, voice, data, text send / receive rates, varying monthly or package  amounts of mintes and data allowances.
    4.) Keeping cellular data off, using wi-fi has mostly kept cellular data usage low, with a few exceptions resulting from data use for either google or i maps and a probable butt-call or mistaken program left on without wi-fi.
    5.) I am still going to check out France's rate, but I won't report more if the story stays the same.
    Good luck out there.
    Thank you to all that responded.  Even though the information did not help resolve the problem it gave us traction.

  • TS3899 My ipood touch works fine when at home and on my own wi-fi network but when abroad and using wi-fi I can only receive emails but my ipod touch won't send my messages.  I am not very techy but don't know how to resolve this problem.  Any advice?

    Hi
    I am having problems sending emails when using my ipod touch with wi-fi abroad.  When at home my ipod touch receives and I can send emails through my home wi-fi system but when away and logged into other wi-fi networkcan only receive emails and not send them.  Internet access is fine when abroad.
    I am assuming that this is to do with the outgoing server but this is only a guess!
    I am not very techy so any ideas how to resolve this problem would be gratefully received.
    Thanks
    KeithGH

    Seems like the other networks are blocking you from sending emails.
    Do yo have more that one email account on the iPod?
    Have you tried sending from another account?

  • Can I buy sim card in Italy and use in my iPad 2?

    I'm traveling to Italy and am exploring my cell phone options. I know that my iPhone is locked, so I am wedded to AT&T, an expensive proposition. It is my understanding that my 3G iPad is not locked. Correct me if I am wrong. That raises the possibility that I could get an Italian sim and use my iPad as a communication device. Will this work? Has anyone tried it? If not, does anyone have any other suggestions besides the obvious ones like Skype?

    I don't have experience with this, but have read posts from people who have done this.  The issue I've seen people have difficulty with is actually buying a sim card in Europe from a carrier with a US credit card.  If you have any friends over there, they might be able to help you overcome this obstacle.

  • Can I purchase Adobe photoshop cc INDIVIDUAL subscription and use it for commercial purpose? Or is it meant for non-commercial usage only?

    If I run a small studio with only 3 people, and purchase photoshop CC with individual subscription, can I use it for my studio? Why I ask this is because CC individual license (single app) is cheaper than a subscription for small/medium sized businesses (single app).
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi rohit.c
    Yes, that's fine - there is no restriction on using an individual subscription commercially.
    The small business teams plans are more expensive as you get additional storage and tools to manage license deployment.
    Kind regards
