How to buy iphone as tourist

Hi, i'll be in usa in holiday, can i buy the iphone without a contract?
how much the 3g 8gb after the wwdc?
thanks

An iPhone purchased in the USA can only be used with an AT&T SIM. You cannot place the SIM of another network in it. It will not work. The price of $199 for the 16GB iPhone 3G S and $299 for the 32GB version is with a 2 year contract with AT&T.
You will be better served purchasing the phone in Italy where it would be available to be used with a SIM from any network.
See the following page which identifies the different countries, whether the phone is locked to the carrier and whether it can be unlocked.

  • How can buy iPhone 5 from outside USA ?. And how much it cost ?

    How can buy iPhone 5 from outside USA ?  iPhone 5 - 16 GB  how much it cost ?

    Unless you live in the US & plan on using the iPhone 5 in the US, you DO NOT want a US iPhone 5. Apple will sell three different variants of the iPhone 5. The model sold in the US will only work, for LTE, in the US & Canada...no where else. You've been warned.

    Iphones sold by Apple in the UK are unlocked although I do not know about if that remains the case if it is shipped overseas.
    There is a section on the Apple order form where a UK resident can purchase an unlocked phone and have it shipped as a gift to someone overseas.

  • How to buy Iphone 3gs in Belarus.

    Hello,
    I am from Belarus and I would like to buy iphone 3gs.
    I did not find my country at 'Locating iPhone wireless carriers' (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937).
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks,
    Valery.

    Sorry but no. US iPhones are locked to AT&T; no unlocked iPhones are available.
    There are countries in which unlocked iPhones are sold. But you need to be aware that any such iPhone will not be supported in Belarus. You would not get any help from Apple in using the iPhone with any Belarus carrier, and if the iPhone had a technical fault you would need to ship the iPhone to someone back in the country of purchase for servicing. Apple would not accept a direct shipment from Belarus and would not ship the repaired iPhone back to Belarus, so you would have to know someone in the country of purchase who could handle the shipment both ways for you.
    So think very hard before you purchase an iPhone from another country. If any problems arise you will in essence be on your own to solve the problem.

  • How to buy iphone 3Gs 32gb

    hai,name is amel siregar.. i'm from indonesia..
    i want to buy apple iphone 3Gs 32gb of centers,how to process a payment? here too expensive and whether the iphone isn't locked in indonesia,if i buy direct from apple center isn't in indonesia?

    In Indonesia, Telkomsel is the ONLY official carrier. All iphones officially sold in Indonesia are sold as carrier locked to Telkomsel with NO provision to unlock them. If you want to buy an unlocked iphone, you will have to purchase from one of the locations listed in this support article:

    Bear in mind, if you purchase in another country you will have to return the phone to the country of original purchase for any and all warranty & service work.

  • How to buy iPhone 4S Wireless antenna in india

    I got my ipone4S from USA about a year back. 2 days back just found my wifi button got greyed and it not working since then even after restroring my said phone.
    I had spoken with Apple customer care in India & also visited to authorised service centers. After evaluating my phone, they all are saying that its not a software problem & its a hardware problem. Above that my phone is also heating up like anything. I am afraid it may not burst anyday and brings our lives in to danger.
    Can i replace my iPhone 4S Wireless antenna in India and get my phone again in working condition & how to resolve this heating problem.
    Pls suggest.

    The iPhone is not user servicable. There are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts. All iPhone parts you will be able to find are either counterfeit, stolen, or salvaged from other iPhones. Your phone can not be serviced at any authorized servicer outside of the US. Either take it back to the US or send it to someone you know there to take it in to Apple and have it replaced.

  • How to buy iphone 6 while im in zimbabwe(africa)

    i want to buy an iphone 6 but im not so sure if there will be any additional costs if it is to be delivered in zimbabwe(africa)

    Apple USA does not ship outside the USA.
    There are more than 30 Apple Online Stores in countries around the globe. If you would like to purchase Apple products from outside the U.S., please see our International Store Directory to find out if an Apple Online Store serves your country.
    copied from http://store.apple.com/us/help/shipping_delivery#policy
    So you'll have to find a Apple Reseller Store in your country to buy from, for example http://www.iclik.co.zw

  • How to buy iphone 4s with low price?

    a

    As a rule, you don't. Not unless you want to risk buying a hacked, jailbroken, or stolen phone.
    There is no such thing as a free lunch.
    Some carriers subsidise the purchase when you enter into a multi-year service agreement. In the US, a 16GB iPhone 4S is $199 when you enter into a 2 year service contract. Check with your carrier and see if the offer similar subisdies.

  • Where and how to buy iPhone?

    Hey,
    So first off, I should probably apologize as this answer has most likely been posted (albeit probably in pieces) and I am a tad confused at what to do, as I feel my situation is somehwat specific:
    I am currently working in the Netherlands, but in three months I will move back to the US to start a new job there. I am on a Dutch contract for the remaining three months, and I have my own phone, but that phone quit working, so I'm looking to buy an iPhone 5s. I feel like I have a few options, but it boils down to the following questions:
    - If I get the $649 unlocked iPhone at the Apple Store somewhere next week (while I am in the US), take it home can I still insert my Dutch SIM? (I believe so... as long as it supports the right bands)
    - When I return to the US for my new job, I'd have to find a plan.. Would I get a discounted monthly rate now that I have my own iPhone? Or would it be more efficient to get an on-contract iPhone with one of the providers right away? But what do I do with my plan/phone while I am in the Netherlands? Can I still pull out the SIM and put in a Dutch one?
    Basically, what is the most efficient (economically speaking): to buy an unlocked phone now and get a (discounted) plan in three months? Or to get a plan right away (if there is some way to use it abroad with a foreign provider)?
    I hope that was clear enough...
    Thanks!

    I would strongly recommend you wait until you're back in the US to purchase an iPhone. You would not be able to get an iPhone purchased in the Netherlands serviced in the US, nor would it work on LTE with the US carriers. If you still need a cellphone for the time you have remaining in the Netherlands, buy a cheap pay-as-you go phone.
    Regards.

  • How many unlocked  iphones can i buy at apple store, how many unlocked  iphones can i buy at apple store

    sir how many unlocked  iphones 4S can  i buy at apple store at a time ?? Sir And Also can i sell if i don't like it....

    The online Apple Store has a limit of two iPhone 4S units per purchaser. I would suspect that the physical Apple Stores have the same limit. But as Tim said, you need to call the Apple Store from which you would like to purchase and ask, though again, they almost certainly will not have any in stock.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • How can i buy iPhone shipping to Russia?

    how can i buy iPhone shipping to Russia?

    None of the Apple online stores ship overseas, they only ship within their own countries, so you will either need to wait until the iPhone 5 is released in Russi, or you will need to find another store that will ship to Russia.
