Going to Canada for the summer, can I unlock my iphone 5 and get a prepaid card in Canada?

I'll be going to North Vancouver, BC this summer (in a few days actually) and am trying to figure out what to do about my phone. I plan on suspending my line with AT&T for the time being. Anyway, if I unlock my phone what features will I have, for example, will imessage work while I'm connected to wifi? Any carrier suggestions?
Thanks!

FIRST you must get AT&T to unlock your phone. They will only do this if you have paid off your contract or paid full price for the phone. Then you need to find a PAYG carrier in Canada. Last time I checked I couldn't find one. iMessage will work over WiFi whether the phone is locked or unlocked. You might want to just keep AT&T and add an international data plan: http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/international/roaming/affordable-world-package s.jsp#data.

  • HT5661 How can I unlock my iphone from Iusacel (Mexico) I moved to Canada and the Iusacel company told me they cannot do it. Can you tell me how? I want to keep using my iphone.

    How can I unlock my iphone from Iusacel (Mexico) I moved to Canada and the Iusacel company told me they cannot do it. Can you tell me how? I want to keep using my iphone.

    The normal process is to request the unlock with the carrier.  They process it and pass it on to Apple to be applied to the Apple's iPhone database.  The carrier would then inform you when Apple has provisioned the unlock, and you would restore your iPhone as a new device in iTunes to apply the unlock (you would get a message at the end of that restore as new in iTunes indicating the unlock was successfully applied).  You could then restore your iPhone from backup to get everything back as it was.
    However, for some carriers, you seem to beed to complete the iTunes restore from within the country where they provide service.  Regardless, have you tried restoring as new in iTunes to see if it processes any provisioned unlock request?  Just be sure to backup the iPhone first, before restoring as new.

  • Can I activate my iphone with AT&T Prepaid cards

    Hi.. I have a 4gb iPhone. I just wanted to know that whether I can activate my 4gb iPhone with AT&T prepaid cards or Go phone cards and still covers apple warranty?
    Anybody has ever tried it??

    Apple warranty is for the hardware. It has nothing to do with the ATT calling plan. You'd need to ask ATT if you can use gophone prepaid cards for the iPhone.

  • Can you unlock an iphone 4 without a sim card?

    Can you unlock an iphone 4 without a sim
    card?

    What are you referring to in regards to unlocking. Are you talking about unlocking the screen with a passcode, or unlocking the device from the carrier the phone is locked to?
    If you are referring to unlocking the phone from the carrier so it can be used with other carriers, you need to make contact with the carrier it is locked to and ask if they offer unlocking services and if you qualify for the unlock. They will provide you with instructions on what to do after that.

  • I signed up for Games Center. How to un-sign and get my credit card info removed?

    OK. I'm an idiot (with an IPad2).
    I don't want to play games with other people but there was a chess board among the images for Games Center so I thought there was a chess program I could check out.
    So now there is no point in me taking any risks and having my credit card info associated with Games Center, so how to I reverse my sign-up for games center and get my credit card info deleted?
    I can't even find a way to edit the credit card info - and if I could I suppose they wouldn't accept a link to an incorrect number ...

  • I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

    I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

    If officially unlocked, you can purchase a sim from one of the two nationwide GSM carriers, AT&T or T-Mobile. However, AFAIK, none of the carriers in India offer unlocking for the iPhone. Thus, if your phone is carrier locked, the only way it will work in the US is roaming...that would cost a fortune.
    So, if you have a carrier locked iPhone, leave it home or sell it before you come to the US, then purchase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, when you get to the US. You'll be able to use that phone in India when you go back.

  • My 2013 Macbook Air can't find my HPDeskjet 3050 printer. It worked fine before I took the Macbook away for the summer. What's wrong?

    My 2013 Macbook Air can't find my HPDeskjet 3054 wireless printer. They worked fine together before I took the MB away from the printer for the summer. I have tried reinstalling the HP software and a bunch of other things that didn't work. The printer shows up as its own wireless network in the list of networks, but then I have to disconnect from my home network and I lose internet connectivity. What's up?

  • Hi, I live in the UK and have an ipad2 with wifi (no 3G). I plan to visit Canada in the summer and want to know how i can access the internet while i'm away e.g. can i purchase a 3G attachment that will give me access on a pay as you go basis. Thanks.

    You can get Mifi devices (the iPad connects to it via wifi and they then give access to 3G networks). I've never used one and I don't know if they are available in Canada (and if so how much they would cost). If you have an iPhone then you could also use that as a mobile hotspot

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

  • I get the icon for "The song can't be located

    I get the icon for "The song can’t be located; it may have been moved or delete" but it is there and if I play it it does play.  However, it will not sync.  I have thousands of songs in iTunes and this appears on many of them.  Is there a quicker way of clearing the icon other than playing each track?

    That icon does indeed mean that the file cannot be located (I just needed to confirm this, to avoid future confusion).
    When you start iTunes, any external storage locations need to be ready to read and have the same drive letter associated with the drive as it did when you added the songs to your iTunes Library. If these conditions are not met, then iTunes will be unable to find the file.
    In addition, if the file has been renamed, moved (but still on the same drive) or even deleted, by you, or any other programme, then once again, your iTunes will not be able to find the file, hence the exclamation mark.
    I'm no experrt on NAS storage, but essentially, the file path to the song's file must remain constant. iTunes looks for the files as soon as it starts up.
    If all your Librayr is external to the computer, you could try re-linking the whole Library to iTunes. Alternatively, I think it's going to be one at a time.
