Can I use my China iPhone 4S (MD242CH) in Canada with a Canada MicroSIM card

I live in China and have a China iPhone 4S Model MD242CH currently subscribed to China Mobile. I will be going on vacation in Canada and I want to be able to take my iPhine 4S with me and change out my China Mobile MicroSIM card for a Canadian carriers MicroSIM card (Rogers Wireless, Fido Solutions, Bell Mobility, Telus Mobility, ???). It would also be nice if the 3G (or 2.5G GPRS/EDGE) works. What about my iPhone 4S WiFi ???
Advise from anyone who HAS DONE THIS would be best but I will take subjective advise as well.

If your phone is officialy unlocked, it will work just fine using any of those official iPhone carriers in Canada. WiFi is WiFi, doesn't have anything to do with what carrier you use.

Can i use my ipad2/iphone or touch to interface with a home phone landline?

My house phone has broken and i was wondering if there is a docking device that can be interfaced with one of my apple products to make it utilise my landline.

If you have an iPad, you're more than welcome to get a VoIP client (Google Voice, anyone?) which will let you make calls...and as we all know, iPhones can make calls.
Home phones are getting cheaper and cheaper, so I don't see why you couldn't just fix the home phone for ~$20.
Now, if you wanted to ditch your landline and make your iPhone act like a landline, I'd check this dock out: http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/29/desk-phone-dock-review/

If iphone 5s unlock version which order from apple activated by T-mobile card can be used in China

I ordered one T-mobile contact free Iphone 5s in apple online store recently, but I activate the iphone by the T-mobile card which install the iphone auto., not by China's network carrier card, so I want to know if iphone 5s unlock version which actived by T-mobile card can be used in China ?

You have already activated the phone with the T-Mobile sim card in it, which is why the phone has become locked to T-Mobile and whilst the phone is locked to T-Mobile, there is no way to re-activate it with another sim card.
It is not silly at all and this is where you needed to have done your research in full and ask those questions about the differences between unlocked phones and sim free/contract free phones and then you would have found this out.
There is nothing else that you can do. What you need to do is contact T-Mobile in the US and tell them that you purchased the phone from the US Apple store and activated it with their sim card and the phone is now locked and request that they unlock it for you. They may do it, but mostly they may tell you that you need to wait 40 days before they will unlock the phone for you. Unfortunately, whilst you wait for the 40 days you won't be able to use the phone and there is absolutely nothing that you can do.
Also, if you are using this phone in Europe why on earth did you buy it in the US? If you knew that you wanted to use the phone in Europe, why did you not go and buy the phone in another European country? This would have made more sense, because countries like the UK sell unlocked phones in the Apple store and you will have EU warranty on the phone and you will most likely get 4G too, but with the phone you have now, you have found that you cannot use it and your warranty is only valid for the US and not the EU - iPhone warranty is not international.
There is nothing else that you can do now except contact T-Mobile in the US and request an unlock, but until they will unlock you will not be able to use the phone.

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.

Can we use 1 computer w/1 Apple ID, but with 2 different iPhones?

My husband is getting his first iPhone for Christmas, and I'm wondering if we can both use the same computer and same iTunes account for our syncing? Right now, he has an iPod, and we're sharing the same iTunes Apple ID, and it's working okay for us. We just pick what apps and music, etc we want on our respective devices. What I'm most curious about are the contacts. He doesn't need/want my contacts and I don't need/want his. How can we use the same iTunes account and ID, yet essentially have two different phones and all that entails? (Contacts, calendar, etc?) Is it possible? Or should I set him up with his own entirelly on a different computer?

You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like with one computer.
Each will only sync what you select.

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?

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 :-)
