Good morning. If I buy a T-mobile iphone 5s free contact, I can activate it with my sim? Can I use it in Italy? it is unlocked?

It may and it may not.  I believe that it is unlocked, but just don't put the T-Mobile sim card in it to activate it - use another one.
You cannot be sure that it will work though - the LTE 4G bands may not be compatible so you have purchased a 4G capable phone and you might not even get 4G.
There is also the warranty factor that iPhone warranty only covers you for country of original purchase, so if you buy in the US and something goes wrong with your phone you will have to bring it back to the US - no shipping allowed.  Plus and sales and other duties and you won't end up saving any money.
Bottom Line:  If you want your phone to work properly in Italy and you want EU warranty, then buy your iPhone 5s in Italy.

  • Apple iPhone 5c on EE brand new unopened no sim put in to it yet... if I buy it can i put my Vodafone sim in and use it as normal?

    Hi all,
    Im thinking of buying a friends iPhone 5C contract upgrade as he doesn't want it now...
    It's on EE but still sealed un-opened etc
    Can i put my Vodafone sim in and use it as i heard some phones are sim free until the first sim goes in to it?
    Can i hear your input please.
    Much appreciated,
    Jo

    If locked to EE, you will have to get your friend to request that EE unlock it before it can be used on any other network. So, don't purchase until you have verified that your friend has gotten the phone officially unlocked.

  • Can I buy an unlocked iPhone 5, activate it in the US and then use it in Italy?

    I am an italian guy studying in the states and I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 5 here in the US, but I’ll go back permanently in Italy in May.
    1429 CDMA model should well with my ATT sim since it covers all GSM features, right?
    Then back in Italy I just need to put in a nano sim from my italian carrier and that’s it…it should work.
    Just one more question….is it better to activate the iPhone with US sim or Italian sim i have on my iPad 4?
    Although I don’t have internet pack in neither of sims, thus I use WiFi to activate it, but i don’t know if it’s better to put italian sim for some reasons i don’t know…Anyway i’ll use another sim back in Italy (sim in iPad is not my “official” number, i just use it for data pack).
    I hope everything is clear and easy to understand.
    Thank you!

    Matter of fact i do not need LTE in US, i just need normal 3G connection, and there shouldn't be any troubles with ATT for that, right?
    Correct, but AT&T will require you sign a contact for new service, whether your phone is unlocked or not. They don't do pay-as-you-go for the iPhone.
    Thus 1429 CDMA won't work with LTE in Italy?
    Only if roaming with Verizon, otherwise, no.

  • Good morning. In October I'll be in america for job.I'd like to know if I can buy the new iphone model 5s and then use it in Italy.Could you tell me the correct number model I need to buy? Must I do anything there before come back in Italy ?thank you

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

  • When you buy a t-mobile iphone 5s , does it come automatically unlocked?

  • Good afternoon, I have a problem com a 3G iPhone when I turn him out I do not have SIM can help me thanks

    good evening how I can help I have a iphone 3g but when I turn it opens then not sent him some pictures and iphone series ok thanks for your help

    See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
    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.

  • If I were to buy a new iPad 2/iPhone 4s or 4, would it start out with iOS 5?

    I've heard some very bad things about 'legacy' devices running iOS 6. Specifically I hear that when the iPad 2, iPhone 4s and 4  are updated to iOS 6, the battery life is reduced and wi-fi connectivity becomes less reliable.
    My question is, if I were to buy a brand new iPhone 4s today, would it come pre-installed with iOS 5 or 6? And if it came with iOS 6, would I be able to get an older operating system?

    All new stock should be running iOS6 out of the box by now,
    iOS6  works fine on most iOS devices .
    Maps app is not an issue in performance
    Over the air updates did have a bug with thermal controls making phones hot and battery life fall.
    Restoring and updating via iTunes often corrected this.
    The wifi issue have read about but have not seen myself.
    Circumstantially it appears to be related to early 802.11n draft routers and actually may be router firmware based.

  • Hi, i am going to buy and iPhone 5 in france but it says its an unlocked iphone so i guess ir i take it to Ecuador (my country) the iPhone is gonna work with a sim card form Ecuador right¿

    Hi, i am going to buy and iPhone 5 in france but it says its an unlocked iphone so i guess if i take it to Ecuador (my country) the iPhone is gonna work with a sim card from Ecuador right¿

    If the receipt says "unlocked" (and not "SIM free") then it will work anywhere in the world that there is a GSM network. However, if it ever needs repair you will have to take it back to France.

  • I have just upgrade my Iphone 5 to IoS7.03 and one particular mobile number under my contact will not deliver when I send a text message.

    I can not send a text to a particular mobile number in my contact after the ioS7.03 update.
    I can receive text from this number and I can call but I can not send.
    I deleted the contact and all previous messages and reentered the mobile number in contact. Text messages are still undelivered.
    Any suggestions>

    I did solve the problem. I assumed because the message bubble was green that my friend had another type of phone. I was completely wrong! After I just made sure iMessage was on and restarted my phone it works just fine! So I guess iMessage was the problem ☺️

  • Hi. Good morning, I intend to purchase the Photography Photoshop program. The Rs 499/month one. I currently use an Mac Air. But intend to buy a iMac in about 2 months time. Will I be able to transfer this program or continue using this on my new machine?

    Hi. Good morning, I intend to purchase the Photography Photoshop program. The Rs 499/month one. I currently use an Mac Air. But intend to buy a iMac in about 2 months time. Will I be able to transfer this program or continue using this on my new machine?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!
