Verizon Ipad 3rd. Gen. on iOS 6, Traveling to Italy Next Month

I haven't unlocked or "jailbroken" my ipad, but would like to use my ipad with a SIM in Italy.
Will a SIM I pick up at an Italian vendor (e.g., Vodafone, TIM) work in my ipad?
(I note that some of the Setting options (e.g., APN) are gone in iOS 6.)
I have read on the forums that it will (at least pre- iOS 6), but Apple and Verizon tell me the ipad is locked and that it won't.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The Verizon iPad 3rd G is supposed to be world ready for travel. But you may have to contact Verizon customer service to request that the SIM be unlocked for use outside of the US.

I am travelling to Italy next week. I will be staying at hotels that have WiFi. If I contact my wife from my iPad to her iPhone,will I incur charges?

I am travelling to Italy next week. If I facetime to my wife's iPhone from my iPad via WiFi at the hotel,are there any phone charges?

Facetime only works over WiFi. So, your wife's phone must be using WiFi to receive your call in the first place. Second, since she would be using Wifi during the facetime call, by definition you are not using cellular data and therefore not incurring any charges.

I am traveling to Europe next week - what are dialing instructions for calling US vs calling around Europe?

I am traveling to Europe next week - what are dialing instructions for calling US vs calling around Europe?

+1 for the USA
+XX for the whole of Europe (Replace XX with the country code you're visiting)
What countries are you going to?
With Dial assist, it should understand if you dial a local number in whichever countries you're visiting.
For example of what local ones will look like:
05573/23441
03 02 33 55 22
If you want to dial with the country code, you can drop the 0 that leads off pretty much all european numbers. (the 0 in parentheses)
For example, you see a number like this: +44 (0)7725 100 100
You can either dial +44 7725 100 100 or 07725 100 100 if you have a UK SIM card.
But it all depends on the home country your SIM card is from which will determine how well local dialing works without using the country code.
If you're travelling to multiple countries, you will recieve an SMS from the network telling you the roaming rates.
Also, I can recommend you to get the Magicjack app, it's free to download and will let you call any phone in the USA and Canda across any data connection (3G/Wifi) Free and unlimited too!

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

while updating, after submission of rescue email next button is not taking next step. what should I do?

Not to come across as rude, but no one has any suggestions because the post is very long with lots of detail - and it is not a technical question.
What should you do? Call the store, call AppleCare, call Apple Customer Relations, but no one here could possibly do anything to spur on either the Apple Store or Best Buy.

You're phone is locked to a carrier. You will need to contact the carrier you got you're phone from to have them unlock it.

Use of another SIM card when traveling to Italy

Can I get a prepaid SIM card In Italy to use on my IPad? Does it have to be unlocked first? If so, do I have to contact AT&T. Any help is greatly appreciated.

David, This is very helpful. Would you expand on this? You obviously have an iPad 1 3G. Is that right? Was it originally purchased in the US? If so, it must have an AT&T SIM card. Is that right? If I understand you right you traveled to Germany, bought a prepaid SIM card there, inserted it in your iPad 3G and it worked. Were there any functions at all that would not work with the German pre-paid SIM card? Did you have to change any settings to receive your email on the iPad with the German pre-paid SIM installed?

Traveling to Italy Windows Nokia phone should I get new SIM there?

traveling to Italy Verizon Windows Nokia phone; will it work there? Do I need to buy a new SIM card? want to be able to call home; buy prepaid phone there?
What's the best option?

I'd love to help you find the best option, beahah. If your phone is 4G, it is already unlocked for international use, and can be used with a local SIM card. If you'd like to keep using it under your Verizon account, you can check out our Global options here: http://vz.to/1oVFiwM

Re: Use of another SIM card when traveling to Italy

Can I ask a similiar question. I bought an Ipad 1 3G in the US last year. Took it back to Australia and have been using it with a local 3G Network there - no problems. I am now back in the US and tried to get an AT&T micro sim today to use for the month I am here and they are saying I cannot get a prepaid card with AT&T because I dont have a Credit Card with a US Billing Address. Seems obsurd .... can anyone help me .... I really really really rely on my iPad and need 3G access while i am here for the month ....
Greatly appreciated in advance ...

G'Day Jamie;
Just go to a Apple Store and request a replacement micro-sim card. Go to a place that sells pre-paid credit cards - need one that has $25.00 or a little more. That pre-paid card is registered in the U.S. Just use your hotel/motels address for the registration. You're all set. As they would say in Australia "Easy Peasy."
By-the-way, welcome to the U.S.
Enjoy.

I want to change to local carrier sim card when traveling. Do I need to get an unlocked iphone 5?

I live in the US, and want to buy iphone 5. I am having a hard time to figure out which iphone 5 I should get. I will use the phone in the US most of the time. Therefore, I will purchase a plan from a US carrier. I also want to use the phone when traveling in Asia. I don’t want to use international roaming because every time I travel, I need more 1,000 minutes talking on the phone. Do I need to get an unlocked iphone 5? I heard iphone 4S can change sim card at local carrier. Does iphone 5 have the same option?

"Do I need to get an unlocked iphone 5? "
Yes.
There has been no announcement about the release of an unlocked iphone 5 yet.
"I heard iphone 4S can change sim card at local carrier."
If it is unlocked then it can use other SIM cards.

US owners traveling to UK, can I swap the sim card while I'm there?

I am thinking about getting an Iphone but I have one lingering question... I travel a fair amount to the UK, normally when I go I just swap out my sim card for a UK pay-as-you-go sim card, which is much cheaper than international roaming... Will I be able to do this with the Iphone or does the ATT exclusive contract say that I can't?
I hope i can cause this is a make or break option for me.

You can use Turbo SIM with your locked iPhone 3G.
TurboSIM fools your iPhone into thinking you're using an AT&T SIM when you're not.

Can I use a local carrier SIM card when traveling to Israel?

Good Morning!
I will be traveling to Israel with a group this Summer for @2 weeks and they require us to use a local SIM card while we are over there. I have an iPhone 6 and was wondering if I can use a SIM card while in Israel? I don't want to add an international plan since it will only be for 2 weeks and the SIM card is a group requirement.
Thanks in advance!

Yes you can. Make sure you get a nano SIM.

My iPhone 5 wont switch on after update, says that I need to plug in to iTunes to reset all data, but I dont want to loose my things and I haven't backed it up for months, what should I do?

I wanted to get new update but phone wont turn on without resetting it in iTunes I have tried pressing the home button and the off/on button together both whilst and not plugged into the computer but it doesn't want to work without getting rid of all my photos/videos and music...etc.

Your data is already lost. You must restore your phone in order to be able to use it. This is why Apple offers you two ways to back up, including iCloud, which backs up automatically over wireless every night if you're plugged in to power and the screen is locked. How much easier could it be? Yet you say you haven't backed up in months. If your phone was lost or stolen, or you dropped it in a puddle, you would be in the same boat. PEOPLE: BACK UP YOUR STUFF!!!!
