Can we buy iphone from one country and then change the service provider

Hi,
I wanted to know if I buy an iphone from india today can I change the service provider when i come to U.S.A. for my studies in Jan

It seems to depend on the country where you bought your phone.
In Australia, with a post-paid account I can have my carrier unlock the phone for free so I can use the phone on a pre-paid account in the States when I am there.
My carrier here gets paid regardless as I am on a 24-month contract.

  • Can I activate iPhone 4S with a SIM from one country and then use with a SIM from another country?

    I bought a factory unlocked iPhone 4S from an Apple store in the U.S. and I am in Guatemala. I want to use it now but later on I will move to New Zealand. Can I activate it with a SIM card from Guatemala and then use it with a SIM card from New Zealand? I am just wondering if it will get locked with the Guatemalan SIM card. Or does it just need a SIM from any supported carrier and then it remains unlocked to use with any other carrier? Thanks

    David,
    As I (mis)understand it, you may:
    1) Copy one orange gradient path to the magenta gradient path document;
    2) Select the two magenta gradient paths and change the Fill to None;
    3) Select the orange gradient path;
    4) Select the two magenta gradient paths and change the Fill to Gradient.
    That should give you the desired replacement. For multiple use of the same gradient, you may consider a gradient swatch.

  • Is it possible to buy an iPhone in one country and then get a contract in another country to go online in the latter country?

    In my case I bought one in China, could surf the internet in China with my Chinese contract, but when I returned to Germany and started a German contract, I couldn't use the intrernet anymore outside of Wi-Fi. I've already been to a shop of my phone supporter (Base), but they couldn't help me no matter how often they re-entered the APB-stuff and turned the phone on and off.

    Apple has not yet announced the availability of unlocked iPhones in
    the US, but they are for sale in Canada, parts of Europe, and elsewhere.
    Warranty is not international. Service and repair/replacement only in
    country of original purchase. LTE/4G may or may not work in other
    country depending on bands and frequencies used.

  • How do I copy and paste a gradient color from one document and then use the gradient on another document?

    I am making business cards. On the back of the cards there are two lines with gradients. Below is a card with a magenta gradient. I want to select both lines and change the magenta gradient to the orange gradient from the file below. How do I do this? (I do not want to copy a paste the orange lines and then move them over the magenta ones.) I just want to select the magenta lines and change their color to the orange gradient. This will insure absolute alignment. I want to do repeat the process with several other gradients too. Thank you.

  • How can i buy iphone from USA  if i am from romania?

    How can i buy iPhone from USA  if i am from Romania?
    Can you tell me it is possible? and what taxes i have to pay and the iPhone price.

    The $199 price is for an iPhone with a service plan with AT&T, Verizon or Sprint - that is the subsidized price with a valid cellular service plan.
    Those phones will be LOCKED to the carrier who's service plan you subscribe to - they WILL NOT work outside of the USA nor on any carrier other than the one chosen at the time of ordering.
    You would want one of the unlocked GSM phones (16Gb=$649 USD, 32Gb=$749 and 64Gb=$849)
    You cannot order from the web store unless you have a USA credit card with a USA billing AND shipping address (the web stores ONLY ship to their own country, not to other countries).  So as already mentioned, you would have to come to the USA and buy an UNLOCKED iPhone at an Apple store.

  • Can I buy iphone 4 in Hongkong and use it in USA

    Can I buy iphone 4 in Hongkong and use it in USA...???
    will it have some troubles when...like upgrade?

    All iphones sold from official sources in Hong Kong are unlocked & will work on any GSM carriers network with the appropriate activated sim, including the USA. Note however, warranty & support are country specific & the phone would have to be returned to Hong Kong for any and all warranty & support issues. Make sure you purchase from an official source, non-official sources hack the phone to unlock it(their prices are often cheaper) and this will lead to nothing but problems.

  • HT204053 My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop items being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?

    My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop phone contacts being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?
    Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphone

    You need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
    Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item.

  • Can i buy ipad from us website and ship to sg?

    can i buy ipad from us website and ship to sg?

    If you are asking if you can purchase from the online Apple Store and have them ship to another country, no. The US Apple Store will ship only to the fifty United States. You would have to get the iPad shipped to you, assuming you are in the US, and then send it overseas yourself. If you are not in the US, then you probably cannot order from the US Apple Store at all since they will not accept non-US credit cards, though it might be possible to get them to accept an international money order or wire transfer. They still will not ship outside the US, though.
    Regards.

  • How can i unlock my granddaughter's iphone that one of her friends changed the password on and locked it? the phone is saying connect to itunes.

    how can i unlock my granddaughter's iphone that one of her friends changed the password on and locked it? the phone is saying connect to itunes.

    If disabled because of a passcode, and you have not synced AFTER setting the passcode, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it as a new device. All data on your phone will be erased:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, setup as "new" will be your ONLY option.

  • I need an ethernet cable connection to a non-wireless device that isn't near my current airport express. Can I buy an extra one to plug in near the non wireless device to receive the wireless data and put the signal out in ethernet form?

    I need an ethernet cable connection to a non-wireless device that isn't near my current airport express. Can I buy an extra one to plug in near the non wireless device to receive the wireless data and put the signal out in ethernet form?

    Yes, you can.
    This is a special feature of the AirPort Express 802.11n.  You will have to set it up "manually" to "enable Ethernet clients".
    If  your "main" AirPort Express is an 802.11n version, it is also possible to setup the second Express to "extend a wireless network" to provide additional wireless coverage in addtion to enabling the Ethernet port.
    If you need the steps, post back to let us know what operating system you are using on the Mac or PC that will be used for the setup of the new AirPort Express.

  • Can I copy clips from one project to another?  The clips are still frames captured within a video event.

    Can I copy clips from one project to another?  The clips are frames saved as stills from a video event.  I try the copy & paste but it does not seem to work.

    The video was converted into MP4 and then I could get it into iMovie events.  I had right clicked and saved farmes as stills.  ABout 50 of them,  When I tried to copy and paste those stills into another project I couldn't. They came up blank.
    I ended up going to a Genius appointment at my APPLE store this afternoon and was told that those "stills" aren't really anything. Not a .jpg or video, so the program doesn't recognize them.  So instead I'm using the Project with the 50 stills and copying other .jpgs and video into it.  (This is for a 1961 Class Reunion, so it's old stuff).  Seems to work so far.
    So bottom line seems to be I can use these stills created from a video in the project in which they were created, but no where else.  Do you know a way around this?

  • If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    I have this exact same issue.  Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud.  This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation).  How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back?  I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

    I recommend the "brute-force" method.
