Can i use my iphone that I bought in Canada, in the USA?

I'd like to know from the community if anyone has tried to use their iPhone in the US? Given that they had bought their iPhone from the Apple store and had it activated through Rogers in Canada. I'd like to know if it is as simple as just swapping out the sim card to a prepaid sim card in the US.
Thank you so much for responding.

If you bought it unlocked and not under contract for full price at an Apple Store and then got a microSIM from Rogers you can swap the microSIM and use one from the US. If it was under contract, subsidized and not unlocked, then no.
Look at your receipt and it will tell you if it is unlocked.

    I really wish I could get paid by how many times I have to say this.  The iPhone 5s has not been released in the US in a factory unlocked configuration.  You took a $700 gamble and lost.

    how can i unlock an iPhone that has ben locked in iCloud

    You won't be able to remove the existing iCloud account, restore or erase it without know the password.  If you ever update it or restore it you will not be able to activate it again and use it without knowing the correct ID and password.

  • Can't Use my tones that i bought.

    I synced my iPhone to my existing itunes account on my computer and after that, i couldnt find my ringtones on my phone. But when my phone is connected to my itunes and i click on 'On This Phone' It says that they are there i can't click on them to play them or anything. It also doesnt say anywhere to sync my tones. How do i get my tones back onto my phone?

    The purchase date is April 13, 2011 so I beleive it should be fine. It is a refurb though from mid 2010. I think the one year starts from the purchase of the refurb, so that should still be within a year. My conern with registering it is that when I go to purchase apple care, I don't want to run into any problems if I need to use it in a year or so. I know there is a transfer policy with applecare, but I'm not sure if I need to do the same thing within the first year of purchase.

  • Can I use an iPhone 4 I bought in Australia in Greece with greek network providers?

    Will an iphone 4 purchased in Australia work in Greece with a Greek telephone company?
    Is there a setting which needs to be reconfigured?
    Is there a region block on such universal use of the device?

    In theory yes as all the Apple Approved carriers in Australia offer unlocking .
    However most carriers require the requestor to be a current customer and active on their networks so if it is locked and you do not meet their requirements then possibly not
    You need to contact them to establish reality if it turns out to be locked

    My dad use to have an iphone 3g then he recently decide to get an iphone 4gs. He decided to give me his old iphone as an ipod dut i dont wanna have to carry around an iphone along with my phone, and he doesnt wanna pay for the data plan(3g part). Do you need to have the data plan for  AT&T in order to use it as a phone??

    yes you do.  AT&T recognizes the phone as an iPhone on it's network.  If you haven't signed up for a data plan, they'll make you get one.

    iOS8.3
    i'm a new user on iPhone. My sister gave me her old iPhone that she bought in UK, she she it here in the Philippines and i'm having problems because i can't use it. i already restored it to set it up new but i couldn't still activate it. It says, " Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached." and "The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information."
    what should i do for me to be able to use it?
    please help!
    Thank you very much!

    It is locked to your sisters carrier.
    She would have to ask her carrier if they unlock iPhones and if she qualifies for this service.

    how can i unlock my iPhone 4s i bought off from eBay and is Verizon im current oversea i want to use a local sim card

    First you'd have to establish service with Verizon. Once a paying customer in good standing, you can then request the GSM portion be unlocked. Obviously, you can't do any of that stuff while you're out of the US. They will not unlock the CDMA side.
