Can I use my A1533 iphone 5s CDMA in Amsterdam or other places in Europe if my carrier here is Verizon

I was recently in Paris and tried to use my iphone 5s (Verizon is my carrier here in the states) and kept getting, no service in the left hand corner. Before when I used my phone with ATT everything was fine and easy. Is there something I need to know.... ? To do?  Can I use this phone abroad? Any idea why it wasn't working?

You have to remove the sim and insert a GSM carrier sim for a local carrier.
The GSM side is unlocked.

  • Recent update download upset my entire itunes program. Can't use to sync iphone, ipad, etc nor run any other updates.  Get runtime error message, etc...and contact app support team.  Says itunes not installed correctly, pls reinstall. tried to no avail.

    A recent update download upset my entire itunes program. Unable to use to sync iphone, ipad, etc nor run any other updates.  Get runtime error message, Error 7 (windows error 1114)  etc...and contact app support team.  Says itunes not installed correctly, pls reinstall. tried to no avail.

    First try updating to iTunes 11.1.5.5, using an installer downloaded from the Apple website:

  • Can i use off contract Iphone 4 Cdma from verison in india with indian CDMA  providers ?

    Hi,
    I recently got a iphone 4 cdma from a reletive , which he was with verison network. His contract came to an end this feb so he was given a choice either to exchange the phone for money or keep it . So he sent it to me . So my question is whether or not, will i be able to use this phone with any indian CDMA network providers ? ( It does not have a sim trey )

    Since the only authorized iPhone carriers in India are all GSM, I suspect you'll have nothing but issues if you try to get a CDMA carrier, in India, to flash the phone, issues like getting iMessage or FaceTime to work, stuff like that.
    If you want an iPhone to use in India, either purchase from one of the official carriers or get an officially unlocked GSM model.

  • Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked

    Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked. Sprint will only unlock it if it's international. they will not unlock it if I want to use the iphone4s with another USA carrier.  Why? I have paid for the phone and don't have a contract.  I wanted to switch the SIM card and use tmobile or another provider because I am very dissatisfied with sprint service. Lots of drop calls and texting takes 15 to reach the other person.  It is horrible,,,, I hate sprint!,

    Sorry, what others here have said is wrong, wrong, wrong. There is nothing about the hardware of the iPhone 4S that would prevent a Sprint 4S from being used on T-Mobile, or any GSM carrier, international or domestic. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Each and every 4S is 100% hardware capable of doing both GSM and CDMA out of the box. The only impediment is that Sprint would have to authorize an unlock for you. This is something they simply refuse to do. If anyone at Sprint has told you that they can't unlock a 4S for domestic use with another carrier, they have lied to your face. This, by the way, is something they're doing with everyone who asks the question - just Google search "Sprint unlock iPhone 4S", and you'll see dozens of internet threads where people talk about being lied to by Sprint about this issue. The good news is that Sprint signed an agreement with the FCC regarding letting off-contract customers unlock their phones. The agreement takes effect in mid-March, and Sprint is dragging its feet until then. Once that deadline passes, if Sprint still hasn't agreed to unlock your phone, then they're in violation of the agreement, and you can and should report them to the FCC. I sure plan to. Then I'm going to switch carriers, to one that doesn't lie to me and keep fraudulent liens on my property.

  • Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

    can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

    Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone.  The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
    To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On.  This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

  • How can I use my french Iphone in Thailand?

    Last June, I bought an Iphone in France with Bouygues operator. As I have to leave for Thailand, I ask them to unlock my Iphone, I had to paid 70 euros for it. They asked me to wait about 1 week. I am now in Thailand. Yesterday, I plugged the Iphone to Itunes and I guess the unlock was done as my Iphone was updated. I bought a new SIM card from a thai company... and it doesn't work.
    I went to ask to some shop and they said that my version is 3.1.2 and in Thailand it's only 3.0...Is that the reason I can't get a thai SIM card? What should I do? How can I use my french Iphone in Thailand?

    Siri only works on the iPhone 4S or iPhone 5. If you have one of those devices, turn it on in Settings > General > Siri.

  • Can I use 2 different iPhones (and iTunes libraries) with one ATV2?  How?

    My wife and I just bought an ATV2. We both have and use iPhone 3Gs's. I installed the remote app on both phones, but I am only able to control the ATV2 with the first phone I synced with ATV2. It doesn't seem that ATV2 cares what library it links to since the user has to turn on "Home Sharing" in their individual iTunes account. ATV2 appears to be set up so that you can choose what library you want to use (Under the settings). So can I use two different iPhones with one ATV2?

    You can home-share multiple libraries but only use one account at a time. So both phones would need to be signed in under the same apple ID.

  • I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

    I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

    If officially unlocked, you can purchase a sim from one of the two nationwide GSM carriers, AT&T or T-Mobile. However, AFAIK, none of the carriers in India offer unlocking for the iPhone. Thus, if your phone is carrier locked, the only way it will work in the US is roaming...that would cost a fortune.
    So, if you have a carrier locked iPhone, leave it home or sell it before you come to the US, then purchase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, when you get to the US. You'll be able to use that phone in India when you go back.

  • How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

    how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

  • Can I use my new iphone 5 with the old iHome iD9SVC Speaker System if I get an apadter? or should i just buy new speaker system made specifically for the iphone5

    can I use my new iphone 5 with my old iHome iD9SVC speaker system if I get an adapter? or should i just buy a new speaker system made specifically for the iphone 5?

    Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

  • Can I use my norwegian iPhone 4 in the US for a few weeks?

    Can I use my norwegian iPhone 4 in the US for a few weeks?

    So I have lived in Daegu, South Korea for 9 months now. And our iphones work perfectly.
    Thankfully we didn't sell our phones in NZ, I had a look online and NZ doesn't lock IPhones to their networks like other countries.
    We went to SKT (in Daegu / National University of Ed) and bought new simcards for $10 each.
    Then signed up for contract / plans.
    We pay roughly $50 a month for unlimited data, 200 minutes, 600 text messages.
    It costs $9 to roam overseas a day.
    We've managed to travel to Japan and Hongkong using our South Korean sims.
    It' been pretty succesful for us.
    All I can say is, do heaps of research peeps, and don't stress :-)
