Cany you buy an iPhone sim only in Italy?

I'm in GB and am regular traveller to Italy, but of course roaming and data charges cost a fortune.
I thought wouldn't it be good if I could just replace my UK O2 contract SIM card when I'm in Italy with a PAYG linked to TIM or Vodaphone. Can't see anything obvious on their websites, but I'm still struggling with Italian.

No, you cannot. The UK iPhone is locked to O2 and won't work with a non-O2 SIM.

Hello, I want to know if you buy a iPhone in EEUU yo can use this iphone in Spain

hello, I want to know if you buy a iPhone in EEUU yo can use this iphone in Spain.

If by "EEUU" you mean the United States, if you purchase an unlocked iPhone, it will be usable with any Spanish carrier that offers compatible service. Note that the warranty will not be valid in Spain, or anywhere else other than in the US.
Regards.

When you buy a iPhone from some can you set it up under straight talk?

If you buy a iPhone from someone can you set it up under straight talk?

Doubt it. The phone will probably be locked to a specific carrier and you will be out of luck. I suggest just buying one brand new instead of someone else.

HT201493 Hi guys I'm wondering that if you buy an iphone online and have paid for it you've been using it can the seller get the phone blocked ?

Hi guys I'm wondering that if you buy an iphone online and have paid got it and you've been using it can the seller get the phone blocked even though you own the phone and you have proof you bought the phone ?

Sorry, there is nothing you can do until the device is removed from the sellers Apple ID.
Without that, your device can't be used, check these articles:

Would you buy the iPhone 5 again?

I've been an Android guy since the Motorola Droid 1 days and most recently have used the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. In short, I've been happy with this phone other than the fact it doesn't do its most important feature well such as HOLDING A SIGNAL. Seriously, it is a freaking joke. It was a problem when I bought this phone and I kept thinking that VZW would roll out an update to fix it. Nope. A dozen tech calls might fix it. Nope. Even VZW seems to have given up on the phone. Now when I call to complain, they just remind me I have an upgrade coming. Most people fault VZW, I fault Google for allowing their flagship Nexus device to launch with such poor construction.
So onto my question. My wife has the iPhone 4S, which for the most part has been great. At a minimum it holds a steady 3G signal where I can't get anything. At this time, I still want 4G and I like the bigger size of the iPhone 5, not to mention the global capabilities.
Would you buy the IPhone 5 again? A quick Google search shows there was some reception issues with it as well on VZW, but many of those were older. Has it been resolved? I can't drop a ton of money and deal with this stupidity again. Otherwise I might hold on for the Moto X. I'm through with Samsung, forever.

WOW, I just had my Verizon insurout ance replacement iphone 4s stolen in Cambridge, MA and located it with the App Find my Phone, and need a phone desperately as it is my work phone. The replacement 4S stopped holding a charge for more than an hour and many other problems, like when you go to Contacts, and try to choose a person to call or text, the names start automatically scrolling and it was like diving in a pool of water that was 12' wide from a skyscraper....it took like 15 attempts to finally get your finger on the right contact and was absolutely frustrating. So I was headed out to suck up the retail price for a new iphone 5 because my contract isn't up yet w/ Verizon and I also won't be using them again.
So, I have 2 questions as I am at my wit's end and taking vacation day to deal with this crap today as I fly 60 % of the time. An as an FYI, Boston and Cambridge campus is a hot spot for stolen Smartphones, so you might wanna tape that baby to your chest and use the speaker phone:-)
1. Is the iphone 5 a piece of crap too and does anyone have Samsung Galaxy or any other models they don't have issues with?
2. I am NOT tech savvy and was going to try to buy a used one on Craigslist or Ebay but all the recommendations are that you ask all these questions and go pick it up in person??? I am a female and that is not going to happen.....HELPPP Any other options before I jump off that skyscraper into that pool???
Sorry for long post, but dealing with this mess is soooo frustrating and I feel like I am hanging by a noose by Verizon.

Should You Buy An iPhone Now, Or Wait For The Next One?

Great article by HuffPost Tech.
The most common thing I get asked whenever I tell anyone I'm a tech writer is some version of the question: "Should I get a new iPhone now, or should I wait until the next one comes out?" It is as though my business card should read not "Technology Writer," and instead "iPhone Psychic"
Not that I am not happy to prognosticate! And in that spirit, here's a look at the questions on everyone's mind: Should I buy an iPhone now? And if not now, when?
First, let me say that I am fascinated by the peculiar kind of panic that I encounter in people I meet who are deciding on a purchase date for their next Apple phone. I call it the iSenberg Uncertainty Principle: Potential iPhone buyers exist in a constant state of anxiety, perpetually worrying that purchasing an iPhone on any given day will mean that they will miss out on the inevitably cooler version with the mind-blowing new features soon down the road. The Cupertino Sword of Damocles constantly dangles over their heads, threatening to pierce them with unhipness and iShame.
Here is one solid piece of advice I can offer to help you avoid the Sword: Do not buy any new iPhone until September. Apple has an annual media conference each September, and every blog with the word 'Mac' in the title is reporting that Steve Jobs is going to do his black turtleneck thing and introduce some kind of new iPhone there. The September Media conference is generally used to present the new iPods, but as All Things Digital reports, Apple plans to "commandeer" the conference for its official iPhone announcement.
Apple is long overdue to release its new iPhone anyway, if history is any indication. Look at this handy little timeline:
June 2007: original iPhone released
June 2008: iPhone 3G released
June 2009: iPhone 3Gs released
June 2010: iPhone 4 released
June 2011: Nothing!
In other words, the 5th generation iPhone is already a month late, so it makes sense that the rumors are swirling. Apple's tardiness can be explained by the fact they've actually already released two iPhones in 2011 -- the Verizon iPhone in February and the unlocked iPhone 4 in June. Their schedule is all screwy, like a traveler trying to get over jet lag. But all signs point to them getting right with a September Apple iPhone release.
So what jaw-dropping new feature will this iPhone boast? We're hearing that the "iPhone 4S," as it is rumored to be called, won't be the dramatic re-imagining that many of us have come to expect with each new iPhone release. Tech blogThis Is My Next thinks that it will be thinner and lighter, and that it will run on a new chip; the New York Times thinks that it will be the same dimensions as the iPhone 4 but that it will be cheaper. Bloomberg agrees with This Is My Next on the chip and adds that the rear-facing camera will upgrade to 8 megapixels from 5 megapixels.
Now, even if you're just a normal, non-geek iPhone user, who doesn't care if the rear-facing camera doubles its megapixel count, or if Apple has changed the manufacturer of its data processors, or whatever, you still need to at least wait for the alleged iPhone announcement, and here's why: if history is any indicator, the introduction of a newer iPhone model is accompanied by a drop in price of older iPhone models. When the iPhone 3GS was announced, the price of the iPhone 3G dropped by $100; when the iPhone 4 was announced, the price of an iPhone 3GS also dropped by $100. Even if you know that you're not going to drop $400 on whatever iPhone Apple begins peddling in September, there is no sense in paying more money for an iPhone 4 or 3Gs now when the base price of both seem like locks to drop in two months.
But before we start fantasizing, how can we be so certain that Jobs is even going to announce an iPhone in September if Apple hasn't so much as indicated such a thing? How do we know that all of these rumors weren't just started by lonely nerds like me and my co-workers emailing each other from our mother's basements, inciting iPhone rumors all on our own?
Well, first of all, I don't live with my mother; and second of all, the new iPhone rumors have sprung forth from two reliable sources held in high journalistic regard.
The first is esteemed, award-winning tech journalist John Paczkowski of All Things Digital, who blazed iPhone prognostication trails by predicting back in April that an updated iPhone 4 would be unveiled at the September Apple music Conference and has steadfastly maintained the claim is true through June and into July. In fact, he confirmed as recently as July 5 that a shiny new iPhone looked to be in the early stages of supply chain production, and that people close to the company still believe that the new iPhone would be ready for the Jobs treatment in September.
So there is Reliable Source One.
Reliable Source Number Two is the Wall Street Journal, not exactly a one-laptop operation. The paper gives "the end of September" as a target launch date, which squares up with both Paczkowski's prediction of a September announcement and release. This doesn't even mention This Is My Next's separate prediction of a September release, nor 9to5Mac reporting that there are going to be two new iPhones in September, one low-end and high-end. But now we're falling down the rabbit hole and into the basement again, so let's focus:
There is likely to be a new iPhone in September. It will likely affect the price of all the other iPhones. The iPhones available now -- the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3Gs -- will probably be cheaper in two months. Unless you drop your current iPhone in a pool, a bathtub or a volcano, do not buy an iPhone until Steve Jobs opens his beautiful brilliant mouth at the Apple conference in early September. When the post-turtleneckian dust settles, we'll have a clearer picture of whether or not this rumored new iPhone is worth the money. And then we can talk about--well, whether or not you should buy an iPhone now, or wait until the next one comes out.

Apple has two prototypes out testing now. One is a thinner totally redesigned case. The problem with it is that Foxconn can't seem to build it. Hence the delay. The other prototype uses the existing case, but with updated (read dual core) internals. If they can get production up by September the first phone will be released and will be the iPhone 5. If they cannot, then the second prototype will be released as the iPhone 4GS.

If you buy your iphone outright in an apple retail store are they unlocked ?

so I'm planning to go to the apple store in Sydney to buy myself an iPhone , but was just wondering if you buy the phone outright in store are they unlocked ?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can buy an iPhone 5 at an Apple Retail Store to use it wherever you want with the carrier you have

What happens after you buy an iphone?

Say i go into the apple store and buy an iphone, how will they make it so that i can text etc on it?

They can sign you up with the supported wireless provider of your choice
with the features you desire. Or you can purchase the iPhone outright and
do the setup on your own with the provider of your choice.
To get the subsidized price (if available where you are), you must either set up
with a wireless provider at the Apple store or order the iPhone directly from your
wireless provider.

After you buy the iphone 5 do you have to pay monthly

i was told that you have to pay monthly after buying the iphone 5

You have to pay your wireless carrier every month, just like any other cell phone.

What happens when you buy unlocked iPhone 5?

When I go to buy a unlocked iPhone, do I need to give Apple a phone number as well? Or do I just go in, buy unlocked iPhone, and walk out of apple store with iPhone and later can put in SIM card?

Maybe we should establish an iPhone "hedge" market when the iPhone 6 comes around...

Can you buy the iphone with the at&t contract than cancel the contract?

Does anyone know or has anyone tried getting the iphone with AT&T and then canceling the contract? What is ATT charging for iphone if I do this and then cancel my contract? Seems like this is the only way to buy the phone outright without going through e-bay.

AT&T does sell the iPhone without a contract however it is still carrier locked.
3G 8GB - $499
3GS 16GB - $599
3GS 32GB - $699
Also if they have a 3G 16GB still in stock then its $549.
This is all according to AT&T's iPhone FAQ:

If you buy a Iphone 5 and Idon't have the first owner Apple Id what happen with the warranty

I buy iphone 5 in Ebay 6 months a go is working perfect since that time but 3 weeks ago star goinng shuttoff every 5 minutes then every minute and now is dead, last saturday I go to Apple store to claim the warranty and the first time ask me for my Apple Id to shutt-off Find my Iphone, after that they can put the new Iphone becouse the broken ihone is tight to another Apple Id, I don't have the way to find the previus owner what I Can do Now?? some buddy can help me..

If Find My iPhone was set up, then the iPhone has Activation Lock and cannot be used nor restored without the Apple ID used to set up that service. There's nothing you can do yourself if you can't contact the person who sold you the iPhone if they failed to remove that service before selling it to you.
I'm not sure why the Apple Store needs the old iPhone unlocked if they're going to replace it for you, though. Is it that you want to get information from the old iPhone before handing it in? If that's the case, then you're out of luck. Without the original owner's Apple ID, there's no way you can access any of the data on the iPhone.
Regards.

Why did YOU buy a iPhone 4?

I bought It mainly for the awesome apps & for facetime.
I bought my girl a iPod Touch for her birthday In Feb. of this year because she wanted some kinda "gadget". Once I saw all the cool games & apps...I decided I wanted one aswell.
I bought a 64GB iPod touch & returned it within 30 days because I heard that a new one comes out every September. But decided to get a iPhone because I didnt want to carry a cell AND a iPod Touch...just get the 2 devices In one.
But yeah...mainly for the apps. To me.. a cell phone is a cell phone...but It's the cool things that a cell phone can do that Is the icing on the cake for me.
And there really is a app for almost everything. Theres games,productivity apps,lifestyle apps,the list goes on and on.
This is my 1st iphone and I'm LOVING It. No problems with signal strength,bars,or what have you either.

My wife wanted the 3G in 2008, so I got one too. Loved it, sold it a few months ago because I knew the iPhone 4 was coming out. I went back to using my old Nokia 2320, wife kept using her iPhone 3G. She thought I was crazy for selling my iPhone but I was getting an iPad anyway.
Turns out I got exactly what the new iPhone 4 cost me, so selling the 3G when I did proved to be somewhat lucrative.
I love the ability to check email while I am out. I've seen blackberry, android, and windows mobile, and the only one that I thought looked good was Windows mobile 7 but it is not out yet. Blackberry just looked dated to me, combersome. I don't like the little roller ball, either. Android looked ok but I didn't like any on the phones except the nexus one. I didn't like how tied into google apps it was, and it wasn't was user friendly as the iPhone. Those are my opinions, nothing more.
This is the nicest phone I've ever owned. Plus, I have the apple store if I have any problems with it--something I wouldn't want to give up.

Can you buy refurbished iphone 4?

I was wondering if you are able to buy a refurbished iPhone 4?
