can I use a north american iPhone4S in Europe?

All iPhones can be used anywhere as long as you're willing to pay the high roaming charges. To use it with a local carrier SIM card, the phone has to be officially unlocked.
FYI, there is no such thing as a "North American" iPhone. Phones are sold by country. It the US there are CDMA phones sold as well as GSM. The CDMA iPhone 4S (not the iPhone 4) (Verizon and Sprint) can be used in Europe GSM carrers on a roaming basis. Verizon will unlock the GSM for use with a local SIM under certain circumstances. Sprint does not.

Using a North American PowerBook in Europe (Istanbul, Turkey)?

Hello,
My wife is traveling to Istanbul (Turkey) with work and she'll be bringing my PowerBook 12" with her. It looks like Istanbul uses the same electricity type as France (220V at 50 Hz with a double-pinned round plug) so I don't imagine there should be any problem plugging in the PowerBook while there as long as she's using the correct adapter to convert the North American plug-type to the type needed. We were in Paris last year and had no problems, so I'm thinking it should be the same with Istanbul, but would appreciate any advice anyone may have?
And, while I've never read anything definitive to confirm this, is it true that the power bricks that come with the PowerBook actually convert the power so as to be able to use it in different parts of the world (as long as you have a plug adapter)? Like I said, I've had no problems doing this in the past, so I assume this is true, but again, just wondering if anyone knows for sure?
Thanks!
Kristin.

To answer this question you can always look at the label on the power supply (of any appliance, not just Macs). If it only says 120, it's only going to work on US-type power grids and you'll need a transformer too. If it says something like 100-240 volts, it's good anywhere in the world and you only need an adapter, no transformer.
My brick has labels on two sides and the voltage range is listed on only one of those, so if you don't see it, turn it around.
You might consider an adapter with a surge protector if the power quality at the destination might be unstable.

Using a North American iBook in Europe

I have a 600Mhz 14 inch G3 snow iBook. It needs a new AC adapter. It also needs to be able to work in France. What is the best way to equip this Canadian/North American iBook to work in both North America and France?
Will this product be of any help?

Thanks!

Hi, Samuel. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
That one will work. So will Apple's, if you want one with the glowing ring.
You will need an adapter plug for the adapter so your North American adapter will plug into French outlets. Those who have traveled abroad say you can get these adapters in airport shops around the world. It will look something like this. I've even seen them at WalMart (in the luggage section, but I'm not sure you have WalMarts in Canada).
Apple sells the World Travel Adapter Kit, but that may be more than you need.
Bon voyage!

I don't know if you can legally download a full Windows 7 installer, but if you can find one, you just need to copy the image to a flash drive. See:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
and

Amazon has several different versions of Windows 7 available on disk, though. Have you tried them?

How can I use my iPad and iPhone in Europe without incurring high costs?

How can I use the iPad to communicate in the Netherlands without incurring huge charges?

Depends on how you are planning on communicating. If you use Wif, then no. If you are using cellular data, you would need to discuss this with your carrier. We wouldn't know here.
Cheers,

Can I use my mobile hot spot in Europe?

Can I use the mobile hotspot feature on this phone in Europe?

Cmcculla, I hope you're planning on having some fun in Europe and not just business! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Galaxy S III is not a global device and will only work on WiFi in Europe. A future update is expected to add global capability to this phone, but it is not available at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Can I use a uk iPhone 4 around Europe?

In a couple of weeks I'm heading to the uk and I was planning on buying a uk iPhone 4, I've heard that a uk iPhone 4 can be used in any country! Is this correct?

You won't be able to do that. Apple online stores will only deliver to a verified billing address located in the same country that the online store is...I.E.-the Apple online UK store will only deliver to a verified billing address in the UK. You'll have to purchase, in person, at an Apple store.
Again, if officially unlocked, it's unlocked, will work with any supported carrier's sim.

Which cable can i use to plug my iphone4s into a Pure Elan 11 dab radio?

I am trying to find a cable that i can plug my iphone4s into a Pure Elan II Digital radio. There is a Griffin Coiled Auxiliary Audio Cable that i think would work? Any help greatly appreciated

if the dab in question have a 3.5mm minijack like the iphone then yeah that cable would work
but you can find one much much much cheaper then that price would would work just as good
also make sure the dab's connector is input and not output

Using my North American cell overseas

My cell is unlocked and uses bands 1, 2, 5, and 6. I am not currently with a service provider, but was with Rogers. The literature says it supports GSM but I cannot find any information about whether this phone will acutally work overseas, specifically in Morocco and in France. Anyone have any information on this?

That way is fine. I don't recommend the other way (iPhone charger to iPad)

Can I use US purchased Torch 9800 in Europe?

I was about to ditch the Torch because I've read on travel sites that BB isn't supported in Europe, specifically Italy, Greece, England. ATT gave me instructions to unlock phone but I was told I'm best off buying IPhone or Samsung.
A short time ago I was up on blackberry's site FOR Italy. So, I figured, I have a "world phone" and you guys may be able to help me determine:
1. Keep BB or get new phone?
2. Unlock BB and get new sim cards in each country?
3. Do apps travel w/ me even if I change sim cards?
4. Best use of BB abroad to not rake up huge phone, SMS, wifi bills?
Any other words of wisdom?? (I've been w/ BB pretty much since day 1...I'd prefer to stay!)
TIA, McC

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
You might be interested in the information in this thread...rather than retyping it all, refer:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Bold/Roaming-charges-sim-card-changes-and-blackber...
With that as predicate, I will try to now answer your questions -- which, after you read all of that, may well change anyway...but nevertheless:
McCaryn wrote:
1. Keep BB or get new phone?
Something only you can decide. Each person is unique, with their own set of tolerance levels and expectations. No one can make that decision for you. Rather, you need to educate yourself about all of the issues, and then weigh that against your tolerance levels and expectations...and then decide accordingly.
McCaryn wrote:
2. Unlock BB and get new sim cards in each country?
Different issues surround that, as discussed in the linked post above. If your specific BB model number is not natively supported by the specific network on which you operate it, it will not receive BB services automatically, even if that network supports other BB models. When I traveled internationally, the solution was both...my "home" BB on an international roaming plan (so that people could call it and stil find me, as well as so I could have my BES services), and another device with a local SIM (so that local folks wouldn't have to dial the USA to reach me down the street from them in Beijing).
Again, only you can make your decision, armed with the best information you can gather.
McCaryn wrote:
3. Do apps travel w/ me even if I change sim cards?
Apps are associated to your BBID, which is stored at BlackBerry. But, it is accessed via the carrier BIS services...so, back to the above...if the carrier cannot provide your BB with BIS services, then nothing that depends on it (BBID) will function.
McCaryn wrote:
4. Best use of BB abroad to not rake up huge phone, SMS, wifi bills?
Again, "best" can only be determined by you. For me, I racked up $2,000 bills on my "home" BB each month that I traveled. But, for what was needed, this was acceptable since the alternative would have been cheaper, but not functional for my needs at that time.
OK....review all of that and see where it takes you...feel free to ask more once you've digested all of that information. Just know that, with BB, it's not as simple as just putting another SIM into the device...BBs are special, and BIS is needed for full services, but is not necessarily available to your specific BB model number. I know of no carriers that have their networks natively support all BB model numbers...that would be very cumbersome for them, and actually a bit useless (e.g., a GSM carrier has no need to support a CDMA-only model BB).
Good luck!
