Can I use this phone in other countries?

Does anyone know if i can buy this iphone from USA and use in in australia, or does it have to be with AT&T contract plan? I want to use australian sim card in it.

Doubt it, as uses Edge, which only Telstra use, and I'm sure there would be other software complications. Probably tries to phone home to AT&T on plugging-in.
What are the chances of still using for internet and as ipod if phone part doesn't work? If so I'll import one.
Anyone know for sure??

    Where did the phone come from as most of the UK carriers unlock phones, but the fact that you are now abroad may be a problem.

    Only the carrier an iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone. It is my understanding that Softbank in Japan does not unlock iPhones.

    I can someone help me please to use this phone in romania
    So the phone is encrypted or locked in england on o2 network

    There is NO solution other than already described
    O2 locked the iPhone as they subsidised the original price
    when sold new
    Therefore ONLY O2 can unlock the iPhone
    it is NOTHING to do with Apple they have no authority
    to unlock an iPhone
    Apple do NOT lock iPhones ,carriers do
    simple no debate
    If you purchased through eBay raise a claim

    You can use the phone with your australian number provided international roaming is enabled. You will be charged more ( for messaging & talking )than that in Australia since you will be using someone's else's network.

    If you purchase an unlocked phone in Hong Kong, it should work, although since it is not from your country, it is possible that not all features will work.

  • Owner of this phone is know where to be found. How can I use this phone?

    Previous owner can not be found how can I activate this iPhone 4?

    You cannot. And, Apple will not assist you in this either. Take it back where you bought it and ask for your money back. You will not be able to activate the device without the previous owner's information. The device is useless to you.

  • Can't use THIS phone, either... at least not as a phone

    I have been through more than a dozen phones in the last year. Problem after problem with the 8220. This last time, they (T-Mobile) decided to help and sent me a new phone.
    I was actually quite pleased, and told every one who would listen that FINALLY, the phone works.
    Today, I tried to call my cousin who is in a convalescent home. I said, 'Hi' and even more, and then he hung up. Hmmm.. He couldn't hear me.
    I called back, and he still didn't hear me. I just assumed he couldn't hear through the phone... or maybe I had accidentally hit the mute button.
    I got another call from some one I speak to regularly. Nothing.
    I called T-mobile (611) and answered the voice prompts. NOTHING.
    The phone was working this morning. I can't do ANYTHING with it now. HELP! And please help me quickly. We have an election tomorrow, and I work the polls. I need to be able to call City Hall

     but WHY would a phone do that?
    Because it's not a phone. It's a tiny computer that just happens to also do mobile telephony. As we make things in our world more complicated, they become more and more prone to issues. That's the simple nature of the beasts. If one desires near-100% reliability, one must stick with a land-line and a non-wireless telephone with no computing capabilities whatsoever...just a phone.

  • Who can i use a giftcard in other countries ?

    I bought a spotifygiftcard in the netherlands now im in france and cant use it. What can I do

    Hey there  and welcome to the community! Unfortunately, gift cards can only be redeemed in the country in which they were purchased. 
    I recommend reaching out directly to Spotify Support. They can be reached through their Twitter Page @SpotifyCares or through the online contact form. There's no guarantee that they can change the info on the card, but it's worth asking! 
    Make sure to check your inbox and junk folder for an email from Spotify. Once you get it, make sure to reply back right away, even if it says it's from a "no-reply" email.
    Cheers!

  • I purchased a iphone i USA. How can i use this iphone in india with vodafone.

    I Purchased a iPhone 5s in USA. How can I use this phone in India with Vodafone.
    <Edited By Host>

    First, the iPhone would need to be unlocked. That would depend on where you bought it. Next, the North American phone would not work with all of the networks outside of the US. Also, the warranty for the device is only good in the US, so if you have a problem with the phone, you would need to bring it back to the US to an Apple Store. Where did you purchase the phone?

  • I bought my iphone 4S with applecare+iphone from houston , but can I get it repaired in other countries?

    I bought my phone while I was travelling and now the phone cant nevigate wifi. Can I get this repaired in other countries?

    I think you should go ahead and go in to an Apple store there and ask them to help you with it.  Worst case scenario is they just tell you sorry, you'll have to wait until back in the USA for that.  But, the wifi issue may just be a need to reset network settings, or something simple.  The screen could be a software issue or a hardware one, but either way you have nothing to loose by asking.
    P.S. if it were a hardware issue, Apple does not do repairs in house.  They would just exchange it for a factory refurbished unit, and send yours back to China for factory refurbishment by the same folks who made it.  So a local genius stop will be short no matter what the outcome - you either leave with a fixed phone, or the same one you have now and just have to wait to get it fixed once you are back home.

  • Can I Use my Iphone with other carrier after 2 years of contract

    Hi,
    I have a iphone purchased a iphone 3 years before with 2 years of service contract is US. My service contract is over and I want to use this phone with other carriers in India. But getting an error Invalid SIM. Please let me know what do I need to do to get it working.
    Regards,
    Madhav

    You would have to contact and have the same US mobile carrier that the iphone is locked to "unlock" it.  ONLY that specific carrier can unlock it.  No one else can.
    Hope this helps
