Going to Europe soon - can I buy a SIM in Europe to fit my ATT 5s or do I need to have the phone unlocked?

Looked everywhere for the answer(s) - did note that the 5s phone (ATT usa version) is compatible with European signals...
ATT wants me to use their international plan.
Last trip, I had my Iphone 4s unlocked (2 year contract was up) and I bought an O2 SIM for a month. Much cheaper and more Data
Sooo.... Can I buy a SIM chip in Europe and have it work with the USA 5s ATT phone without having to jump thru hoops?
Thanks in advance

Thanks to you both. I thought as much so I'll simply bring my unlocked 4s. What I did find really cool was that I could buy a SIM for my (ATT) Ipad 4 in Germany (O2) for month to month then used their teathering feature GREAT for up to 5 items and up to 5.5GB at 25 Euro
THANKS for your replies!!

Well, doing that "could" be your problem, as it will error out & prevent the official unlock from being processed.
At any rate, good luck.

I can't uninstall in order to reinstall. It keeps telling me a previous version needs to have the computer restart. I restart. Back to needing to restart. Right now I can't access Firefox at all.

I upgraded to the new version and something went funky. Tab weren't working. So thought I'd uninstall and reinstall and now I'm stuck in the cycle. I can't uninstall as it tells me that a previous version needs the computer to restart. I'll restart and then try again and get the same message. If I try to just reinstall, it get the same message. Right now, I can't access Firefox at all. Help!

Hi @Skeetermarie85,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are unable to uninstall the software in order to re-install the software with your HP Officejet 8600. I am sorry for the frustration, but I am happy to help!
I am not sure which version of Windows you are using, but this should work with Windows XP and up. Please try a level-three uninstall by going through this fatal error guide, Fatal Error 'Error 1155. Not Found.' (MSI Error 1155) Displays During Software Installation in Windo.... Even though this guide does not match your error, I believe the level-three instructions will help.
If you still need further assistance, please reply with the version of Windows you are using. If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.
Hope this helps!

Any ideia how much will cost? Can I still use my phone to face time with

If you're talking about "regular" icloud, then setting it up should have no effect on your music. Try syncing the device to iTunes and check the music settings and sync again.
If you subscribe to iTunes Match, is the device in wifi range?

Yes, if you have purchased an unlocked phone or have had your CARRIER unlock your phone.

Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store ?

Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store in nyc or is it exclusively avaliable online ?

You can buy it at an Apple store. But you do not want "SIM Free", which means that you can use it with any carrier, but the phone becomes locked permanently to the first carrier you use it with. You want to be clear that you want an "UNLOCKED" phone. Apple does not sell SIM Free phones, but some independent dealers (such as Carphone Warehouse in the UK) do.
Also, note that if you plan to use it outside of the US you will not have warranty or repair service available for it; Apple will only fix phones (in or out of warranty) in the country of purchase. And it may not work on LTE (4G) networks outside of North America.

If I get my iphone unlocked can I buy a sim card in Spain and then use it there and get free 3g access

No. You can't activate any iPhone without a sim card installed. The sim card itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. Since you updated the software, the phone requires re-activation, thus you need a sim card. You can borrow one from someone, but bottom line, you need a sim card.

Just thought that I'd report that I've decided on my solution.
It seems that just making do with what I can find on the US store is the easiest and perhaps also the best way of going about it. All other methods mean trouble. I'm lucky that China hasn't outright blocked the US store, as they HAVE blocked iTunes music store in China already (something about a song about Tibet caused them to block the store entirely).
So yeah, just going to deal with it I guess. I should be grateful I'm getting anything at all, considering the country I'm in. Still, I just feel so ripped off sometimes when I pay for expensive devices and I can't even get much out of them do to my region. iPhones cost around $700 in China because there's no company like AT&T that you can just sign a contract with to get one, so you have to pay up-front for the phone, and get less features out of it in the end. Makes buying smart phones look like a waste of time and money sometimes, since you can't use the device to do what it was built to do due to censorship and not having any content for your region (though they do have a lot of Chinese apps that I can't use due to not knowing Chinese).

I plan to buy an iphone 6 from New York. I am from India and shall be using the phone in India. Is it possible to get an unlocked iphone from the store? If yes, how much would it cost?

It is going to be months before any unlocked iPhone 6s will be available.
Also be aware that the iPhone purchased in the USA will only have warranty service in the USA. Any warranty service will require you to bring it back to USA.

HT4993 I buy in ebay the new iphone 5S sprint but i need the phone unlock please help me

I buy in ebay the iphone 5S sprint new but i need the phone unlock help me please

A Sprint iPhone can only be used with Sprint. It cannot be unlocked, except by Sprint. And they will only unlock it for use outside of the US, and only if you are a Sprint customer. The phone is useless to you if you don't want to use it with Sprint. Return it for a refund.

I dropped my iPhone in water for about 30 seconds. The sounds and everything works fine, and I'm getting all text and email notifications however the screen is black. Also, I can see water that is stuck in the camera. I have the phone in a bag of rice

Dropped my phone in water. Sound and vibrations are working but screen won't turn on. I can see a little water in the camera. I currently have the phone in a bag of rice. HELP! :)

Leave it in the rice for 6 or 7 days changing rice even couple of days.
If after that it still doesn't work take it to Apple and purchase an out of warranty rteplacement for it.
