.ps about to buy iphone

I, too, am interested to know if I will be able to use a foreign SIM card when traveling overseas. I spend a significant amount of time outside the US and before buying an iPhone would need to make sure I could use the phone abroad with my other SIM card. The link above points to a FAQ that, alas, does not answer this question. It only mentions that the iPhone can be used abroad via roaming, which means paying AT&T astronomical data and call rates for international.

    Then call the carrier it is currently locked to. They, and ONLY they can process an unlock request for you.

  • Is my Droid Razr Maxx xt912 locked for use with another carrier's SIM - either in the U.S. or globally?

    Is the Verizon Droid Razr Maxx XT912 locked to prevent using another carrier's SIM in the U.S.?  Is it blocked to prevent use of another carrier's SIM outside the U.S.?
    Thanks

        Hi MattFlash, that is a great questions and I would be happy to help! The good news is that all of our 4G devices would be unlocked and ready for use with another carrier, so the Maxx is ready to go. If you would like to use another carriers service you may need their SIM card and would then need to follow their activation procedures. Hope this helps!

  • How can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    how can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    Purchases made under 1 Apple ID are permanently associated with that Apple ID and CANNOT be transferred to another Apple ID.  So if you want to keep those songs, you'll need to always have access to your dad's account.

  • How to unblock iphone to use with another telephone company ?

    How can I get apple to unblock my iphone 3G that I bought in japan last year to use with another telephone company in france, without having to jailbreak and hack ?

    You can't. Apple does not unlock iPhones. Only SoftBank could authorize the official unlocking of your phone, but they won't. Softbank does not offer unlocking.

  • Unlock iPhone so I'm able to use with another carrier

    The GM of our company has an older iPhone that was originally used on the Rogers network. Due to service coverage issues, he had to switch to Bell. He now wants to give this phone to his son for personal use on the Bell network. I need to unlock the phone first, yes? I called Rogers and asked them to do this but they would not unlock the device and advised I call Apple.
    How can I unlock the phone so it can be used on another wireless network? I DO NOT want to jailbreak the phone...just unlock it.

    Thanks. Do you know of anyone that has succesfully contacted Rogers and hand their unlock request granted?Both myself and my manager have tried, twice each, and have received different answers each time...Rogers is the most difficult company to deal with.

  • Can iWeb be hosted by another site other than .Mac?

    I have already purchased a domain name and a hosting agreement with GoDaddy, however I cannot utilize their web page templates for some reason. Another mac user suggested I purchase iWeb and then have GoDaddy host. Can that be easily accomplished?

    Yes, it can be easily accomplished. Here's iWeb's Help info on this topic...
    Publishing to a server or hosting service other than .Mac:
    Instead of publishing your site to .Mac, you can publish your site to a local folder and then upload it to the server or hosting provider of your choice. You may want to use this method if you own a domain name and want to place your site there.
    To publish your site to a local destination:
    Choose File > Publish to a Folder.
    Choose a location to store your site, and then click Choose.
    After you publish your site to a folder, you can use an FTP (file transfer protocol) client to upload the site folder and index file to the location of your choice. iWeb does not provide an FTP client, but they are easy to obtain. Some hosting services provide a web-based FTP upload service, or you can download an FTP client from the web. For more information, contact your server administrator.
    If you don't publish your site to .Mac, these features are unavailable:
    Password protection
    Blog comments
    Blog search
    Hit counter
    Enhanced slideshows
    Also, for Subscribe buttons to work, you must specify your site's URL in the field provided after you publish to a folder.

  • How can I get my old iPhone 5 (Verizon) unlocked for use with another carrier?

    I have an iPhone 5 that was purchased with a Verizon Wireless account.  It is more than two years old and I have since upgraded it to a newer iPhone.  I want to give this phone to a friend in Germany.  His service will provide a new sim, if the phone is unlocked.  How can I get it unlocked so that it is no longer limited only to Verizon Wireless?

        Good afternoon Weth!  That is completely correct. All 4G phones are already unlocked for global use. If you contact your international carrier and insert their sim card, it will be ready to activate on the international network. If you have any questions regarding the compatibility of the international network, please reach out to them directly. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thanks so much and safe travels to you!

  • Is my phone unlocked for use with another carrier

    I want to change carriers but continue to use my iPhone.  My contract is done so I need to know if my phone is unlocked.  I can't afford Verizon anymore and the service where I live sucks.

    We need to know what iPhone and what carrier you are planning to go to To give you an accurate answer. 

  • Will unlocked AT&T iPhone 4s work with another carrier simply by inserting their SIM card?

    I went through the official AT&T unlocking process and want to know if my 4S will work with other carriers just by inserting a SIM?  Or is there some other thing I need to do?  Will it work in the U.S. or in other countries?  Thank you!

    It should work with a GSM SIM card (like T-mobile in the US), as long as it as unlocked.  For international, make sure it is GSM.

  • Will not charge with another lead other than the one it came with??

    I needed a longer charge lead so have brought a 3 x 3metre usb charging leads so far and none of them work with the plug or plugging into a computer, Can anyone help??

    Most USB ports on a computer do not provide enough power to charge an iPad efficiently. The best way to charge your iPad is to use the charger that came with it and plug that into a good wall outlet.
    When purchasing additional cables make sure to purchase cables from reliable and certified third party suppliers or from Apple. Cheap knock off cables are usually of poor quality and may not work properly.

  • Can i move itunes to another drive other than my c drive?

    I use a smallish SSD drive for my os and a couple games, i was curious if there is away to move  itunes from the C drive to a Bigger storage drive and still be able to fully use it.  Just need more space for Itunes and it contents.
    thanks for any help on the subject.

    Niel's advice above will work better. Moving the entire library as unit and then connecting to it works, and makes the next move easy too. Moving the media alone and then editing the media folder location in preferences doesn't work reliably, and may leave the library with broken connections to the old paths that need to be repaired.
    @Rockdwg: If you have any iOS devices you may also want to relocate the backup folder.

  • 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.

  • I'm going to another country for a year and I would like to unlock my phone to take another sim other than my carrier. My contract with my present carrier is finished yet they still wouldnt unlock the iphone 4 for me. How can I be able to unlock it?t

    Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
    If you do not meet their requirements or they do not offer unlocking there is no official way to unlock the device.
    Who is your carrier?
