Can I use the Galaxy in Germany if it's "unlocked" with a local SIM (for local rates)?

Can I use this phone in Germany with a *local* SIM card for local rates if I get Verizon to unlock it or do I have to wait for the ever-elusive upgrade for this to be possible?
I have been with Verizon since 2006, my original HTC Incredible has been eligible for an upgrade since April, and I was planning to stay with Verizon since I'm overall happy with the service. However, this uncertainty about being able to use the phone globally (and specifically in Germany) with local SIM cards has me considering other carriers for the first time, who have not crippled their phones in this way. In particular AT&T I guess. I don't understand why Verizon would choose to limit their phone like this.
I would like to stay with Verizon, but I'm not going to wait indefinitely for a required update -- unless someone authoritative can tell me that I am able to use this phone with a local SIM card with local rates in German right now. That would make me very happy .. otherwise, I guess it's time to check out the Galaxy on the other carriers.
ps: I have searched the web, and this forum for related posting w/o the answer for this specific question about unlock helping with Germany.

Hmm .. thanks for the info, I was afraid of that .. I'v really been wanting to upgrade my phone for a few months now ... and the S III seems like the best phone right now, but not without that feature. I would rather stick with Verizon though but I am looking at the other carriers because of this.
Also just found out that FM radio isn't available on the North American versions of the phone .. too bad, my DInc has it, and it helps limit data usage (and presumably uses less power than streaming, plus not all stations stream). It's not a required feature for me, but it was a nice option to have..

Hey Guys I Travel to the States and I am from Germany. I want to buy an iPhone 4S 8GB white Version unlocked GSM. Can I use the iPhone in Germany with every SIM Card?

Hey Guys I Travel to the States and I am from Germany. I want to buy an iPhone 4S 8GB white Version unlocked GSM. Can I use the iPhone in Germany with every SIM Card?

As long as you buy from an Apple retail Store (Apple owned ) an unlocked iPhone 4S it will work on GSM services worldwide
from Apple.com
If you buy a SIM-free iPhone, you will need to purchase a GSM-compatible micro-SIM separately. When you travel internationally, you can use a micro-SIM card for iPhone 4s from a local GSM carrier.
The unlocked iPhone will not work with CDMA carriers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint.
However the warranty will NOT be valid outside the US .If you need warranty or post warranty service you will have to return the iPhone to the US in person ( cannot mail in to US )

Anyone help me, can i use iphone 5s t mobile contract free in indonesia with my indonesia sim card?

Try reading the question again, but this time properly and you will see that the question does not say "mobile contract"?.
What it actually says is "iPhone 5s T-Mobile Contract Free". There is a difference and as you have not read the question properly you are providing a response that is just not applicable.

Can I use the iPod Nano cable and AC power supply with the iPhone?

Just purchased my iPhone 3G. Phone was in my pocket and the AT&T clerk neglected to put the box with the computer cable in the bag with the other accessories.
Until I can pick it up, can I use my iPod Nano cable? The plug seems the same size but I don't want to break anything.
Also, there was no power supply in the box due to the recall. Can I use the iPod AC power supply I bought for the iPod? It is the white brick about 3" by 3" by 1" with a USB socket in the side.
Thank you for helping me with my start-up glitches.

Ps. When you do get the accessories, look for a green dot (on the side where the prongs of the plug come out). If there, fine; if not, your adapter is subject to the recently announced recall of ultracompact USB adapters.

How Can i use the key file Generated by RSACryptoServiceProvider to encrypt with php?

I need to be able to encrypt data in PHP using a public key generate by .NET(RSACryptoServiceProvider). I will then decrypt the data later in C# using the private key.

As you see this code snippet is a xml format private key. at .net platform,which can use encrypt or dencrypt.
i have try the Extension Crypt RSA ( http://pear.php.net/reference/Crypt_RSA-1.0.0/elementindex_Crypt_RSA.html ) to help me encrypt data by php.but it haven't return a currect result. the data encrypted by php cann't dencrypt by c#.
does the RSA algorithm provider by Crypt_RSA can give a stand result as c#?
BTW :i just use the xmlkeystring like this.

Can i use my current number and (non-iphone) 02 tariff with a micro-sim in the 4S??, Can i use my current number and (non-iphone) 02 tariff with a micro-sim in the 4S??

Want to get an IPhone 4s but am worried that i will have to get a new contract specially for the i-phone.

But the problem is, I never got the phone from ATT that I was supposed to get so I dont have an ATT SimCard to activate. Lol
Can I just buy one? I think I can but my only concern is that, when I activate my simcard..and then just switch it to iPhone, how do I make sure I will get the iPhone features?
Can I just call em or do I need to go to the store since my phone is already associated with a different simcard?

I cannot print any kind of document using the File Print command on the tool bar of any application, but I can print using the printer icon. OS X 6.8 with HP Photosmart printer. Any thoughts?

When trying to print any kind of document on my wife's Mac Pro, the File>Print Command will not work. She just downloaded an update to Microsoft Office and the problem began after that, but it also applies to other non-Microsoft Applications. However, the print function does work when you use the printer icon in any of the applications. She has OS X 6.8 and an HP Photosmart printer. Thank you for any thoughts.

Did your wife also apply the Feb. 2 Security Update 2012-01 v. 1.0 from Apple? That update contains a bug which disables printing and some other functions in applications that were originally written for the PowerPC processor and which require Rosetta to run on Intel Macs. Fortunately, yesterday Apple released v. 1.1 of the update, which resolves the problem. Run Software Update again to install the revised update.

Can I use the 256 additional RAM in my iBook G3 with my iBook G4 (1.33 Ghz)

I want more Ram in my G4, bought a 256 chip for my G3 which I'm no longer using, wondering if it could be as simple as taking the chip out of the G3 and putting it in my G4? (yes, I'm a dreamer... but it's worth a shot!)

MartinM, Welcome to the discussion area!
No the iBook G3's RAM is not compatible with any iBook G4.

I can't use the function wifi in my HP Deskjet 3050 with Mountain Lion (0SX 10.8.1).

The driver allows only the USB conection. There is no disponibility of this driver in HP site or in Apple site.

Hi,
For the Deskjet 3050 (J610) a full software not available at this time.
As there is no full software available for Mountain Lion you will need to set a temporary ad-hoc connection and then use the printer EWS to connect the printer to your router.
Press the wireless button on the control panel to show the wireless menu options on the printer display.
Select Wireless Settings on the printer display and then select Restore Netowrk Defaults.
Under the same Wireless and select Wireless Radio and make sure to set it as On.
From your Mac click the WiFi icon and then click Join Other Network.
Click Show Networks, select the printer SSID, it will include 3050 or J610 within its name, then click Join.
Allow 2-3 minutes to establish the connection.
Open Safari and click the Bookmarks icon ().
Click Bonjour and then click the printer name, the EWS page will appear.
Enter the Networking tab.
Under Wireless (802.11) click Wireless Setup Wizard and then click Start Wizard and follow the steps listed on the screen to configure the wireless connection.
Note: If you required to provide the Security type for your wireless network, you may click the WiFi icon, click Network Preferences and select the Wi-Fi network. Click Advanced and you will find the security type of your network within the Wi-Fi tab.
Once the Wireless Setup Wizard via the EWS completes, click the Wi-Fi icon of your Mac and connect to your router again.
Finally, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan and add the printer. confirm any prompt to get the drivers from Apple's servers.
Regards,

Want to use the TM backup from my desktop to keep my laptop up to date when I travel, and then vice versa, when I return. The laptop (MacBook Pro) is running Mtn. Lion 10.8.3, but the iMac desktop is running Lion 10.7.5. Is this even possible with the same external hard drive being used to go back and forth like that?

You can use the Time Machine backup files of the iMac onto your MacBook without any problem because your MacBook has got a newer version than the one the iMac has got. However, you shouldn't do it in your iMac, and if you do that, you might damage OS X because your Time Machine apps will replace Lion apps.
You can still restore individual data onto your iMac > http://pondini.org/TM/E3.html Note that you can back up both Macs onto the same external disk, but you can't use the same backup in both, so Time Machine will create another backup for each Mac you have

Yes, if it's a Thunderbolt computer, but you will need to connect another Thunderbolt device (such as a disk drive) between the displays.
