Can i use an iphone bought from the uk to the states?

Hi i was wondering if i could get a tmobile iphone 4 bought in the uk and still work in the states. i currently have tmobile.

Even though they are the same company they use slightly different systems and different frequencies plus T-Mobile in the US is not at this time an authorized carrier. Your iPhone needs to be unlocked to use the US T-Mobile SIM, you will only get EDGE data speeds, I don't believe Visual Voice Mail will work and FaceTime definitely won't.
Other than that there should be no problems.

    As far as I know there is no difference, we use the same charger for iphone, ipad, ipod, etc.. and no problem.

    Here is a thread regarding this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2397877
    In summary, it'll work, but charging will take more time.

    The only way to use an iPhone from Japan in India is to pay your Japanese carrier for international roaming. Japanese iPhones can not be unlocked.

  • Can I use my iphone 4 to give access to the internet to my iPad?

    Can I use my iphone 4 to give access to the internet via 3G to my iPad WiFi only?

    You can with the Personal Hotspot feature located in Settings>General>Network. This might bring additional monthly costs, so ask your carrier first. If the Personal Hotspot feature is not visibily in Settings, then it is either not enabled by your carrier or it has to be enabled by your carrier first (probably also accompanied with an additional monthly fee).

    My iphone 4s is 2nd ...then i format..the phone want old user id...how can i used that iphone back because i dont know the id?

    There is no other solution - as you have already been told, if you don't have that user id and you cannot contact the previous owner of that id for the phone, then there is absolutely nothing that you can do.  You have a useless brick that you can't use.
    Nothing else to do.

  • I just moved from Germany back to the USA. How can I use an German iPhone6 from T-Mobile  in the USA

    I just moved from Germany back to the USA. How can I use an German iPhone 6 from T-Mobile  in the USA?

    Was your phone locked to T-Mobile? If so, it needs to be unlocked before you can use it here. I believe you can use it with AT&T or T-Mobile here, but you won't get 4G/LTE speeds.

  • Can i use a Iphone 4s from the USA in Germany like a german one?

    I´m from germany and want to buy a IPhone 4s in the USA. Is it the same software like here in germany and can i use it here, like a german one?

    Assuming you want to use a German sim you must buy an unlocked iPhone4S from an Apple Retail store
    However they are not YET  available unlocked anything else will be locked to a US carrier
    Other postings indicate availability in November iirc

  • Can I use My iPhone 4s that I got in the Apple store in México when I Travel to UK?

    i need to know if u can use My Phone in Uk I am from Mexico

    Both carrier locked and unlocked phones are sold in Mexico - you didn't say which type you have.
    If carrier locked, you can use it in the UK on with international roaming if you set it up in advance with your Mexican carrier.  This will be expensive, and DATA roaming VERY expensive (DANGEROUSLY expensive if you don't get a pre-paid plan with your Mexican carrier).
    If you have an unlocked phone, you can get a local SIM card in the UK and pay local phone and data rates.  Of course, you can't use your Mexican phone number.

  • Can I use unlocked iPhone 6 from Dubai in Europe?

    I live in Dubai, but I travel abroad frequently so I would like to use my iPhone 6 in Europe, Finland on a different SIM. Will it work there? The carrier I would be using is Saunalahti.
    thanks

    Yes, if you enable the international roaming feature with your phone company before you travel.  However, charges can be expensive, so you need to check with your phone company beforehand.

  • Can I use an iPhone5 bought from Hong Kong in South Korea?

    As title.

    Yes, you should be able to as long as the phone is unlocked? 
    Be aware that the warranty is only valid for Hong Kong being the original country of purchase and that iPhone warranty is NOT international.
    Also, there could be some descrepencies in whether you can get 4G LTE, but other than that, yes the phone should work.
