Can i use iphone 4 in europe

I am wondering if people have found it more cost effective to use the iphone 4 in europe (am going to denmark) or to try to buy some cheap other kind of used phone and put a sim card i buy over there in it. I am new to using forums, so if this q has already been answered, could somone provide the link to that thread or discussion, even if it is on another website? Thanks!

If your phone is carrier locked, to use in Europe...as a phone & for data...would be extremely expensive. You'd have to get International Provisioning activated for your account, then pick a plan & pay through the nose. What many folks do is put their phones in Airplane mode, turn WiFi on & use available WiFi for their phone's data needs(although there are not nearly as many free WiFi spots in Europe as there are say in the US). If you want to make calls, you can either purchase a local phone with a pre-paid sim(they are cheap & readily available) or you could still get International Provisioning activated for your account, but turn cellular data off in settings on your phone. That way you could make/receive calls & SMS's but not incur hefty data charges.

  • HT4972 Can I use iPhone 5 in Europe?

    I am going to Italy and would like to know if there is anything extra to do to use my new iPhone 5 for phone and/or data.

    1.  No, because if you have an iPhone on AT&T, the LTE frequencies are different between the US and Europe and if you have an iPhone 5 on AT&T in the US, then it will be carrier locked to AT&T and that is a different model to the other European model, so the best you can hope for is to use the international roaming feature and link into an Italian 3G network.
    2.  There are no unlocked iPhone 5's available in the US at the moment, but when they do become available, it is the other model that is available, so unlocked means unlocked and it does not matter which carrier you use.  That is your choice and you can use any one that you want and you should also be able to swap nano sim cards and use local ones whilst travelling.
    3.  If you purchase the unlocked model of the iPhone, which is a different version to the US carrier locked, then you have a better chance with LTE frequencies.  Obviously there are going to be differences between countries because their LTE frequencies are different.
    Well no, of course it cannot be truly a world phone because every single country in the world is different and all countries are in different stages of development of their 3G capabilities.  There is no one frequency at the moment for all countries.  There may possibly come a time when this is so, but not at the moment.

    The US LTE bands in US shipped iP5  will not work in Europe or Japan

  • How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one?

    Hi,
    How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one? I just bought the phone and each time I try to switch it on to use the mp3 player, I cannot. It asks me to insert a sim card and I don't have a sim card yet. I was thinking I could use the mp3 player function of my phone until I buy a sim card.
    Thank you for your help in advance,

    Thank you, I understand, yeah, I knew that, my phone is factory unlocked and I am going home, which is obviously not in the States and I am thinking of buying a local carrier there. However, I still have 2 weeks before I leave and cannnot wait to start using my Iphone 4. I thought at least I could use the mp3 player function. So as far as I understand, I cannot activate it without a sim card. I have been using metropcs for about two years and it does not have a sim card. In this case, do I really not have another choice but wait for two weeks to listen to music? My Mp3 player just failed me and I really need to listen to music but on the other hand, while I can use my iphone as an mp3 player in two weeks, I don't want to spend more money on a new one. So, do you have another suggestion? For instance, can I use a friend's sim card to activate mine? Would this cause any trouble, when I go home and buy a local carrier? I think these questions might kinda sound weird to you, but first time with an Iphone, extremely excited to start using under my circumstances, I need help   thanks,

    Can I use my iPad in Europe?

    the iPad power pack is 110-240 v auto  You just need the relevant pin converter depending on the Country you are visiting and the power pack will automatically accept the input voltage
    Just a point as already mentioned an AT&T iPad will also work on 3G with a suitable data sim from a local carrier
    (each country is discrete ) A Verizon version will not work in Europe on 3g  at all ...except on wifi

  • Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV

    Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV.  ie I have no router but am interested in playing music from phone to apple TV.

    Yes in theory, though do check your phone contract small print and keep an eye on your data usage - in theory local data sent across the LAN created by the hotspot should not use 3G data but some carriers seem to treat it as internet data usage.

  • Can i use iphone in the philippines?

    waiting so long for the iphone to be released now that it is, im having doubt buying it. does exclusive to at&t means that the iphone cant be used using other network provider? cause i cant use at&t even if i want to, cause i live here in the philppines and we dont have at&t here. ^^ someone please tell me if i can/ i can't use iphone here in RP. Thanks!

    cingular and at&t are the same company.
    in short here's what you need to use it in the phillippines: a cingular/at&t wireless account and international roaming turned on. oh and about $3/min i believe (not including data costs).

  • Can I use my ipad in Europe?  it is not 3G

    Can I use my ipad in Europe?

    What country are you in?  Which ipad do you own?
    AT&T model iPad uses the GSM protocol and has a mini-sim card slot. GSM  is the most widely used protocol.
    Here are the converage maps:
    For GSM:  http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
    ( Most people recommend GSM for the widest world wide coverage. )  
    The other main protocol is CDMA.   
    For CDMA:  http://www.cdg.org/worldwide/index.asp
    ( The coverage map is optimistic.  One company with one cell tower means that the country has coverage.  )
