HT1807 Can I use a sim card from Taiwan when I go there in a month on the new iPhone 5

I am just wondering if I buy the new iPhone 5 on pay as you go. Can I use a sim card from a different country. I am off to Taiwan for 6 months in a month and would like to take the iPhone with me

If your phone is officially unlocked, & either of the three authorized carriers, in Taiwan, have nano sims available, yes. Otherwise you'll have to get International Provisioning activated for your account & use the phone while roaming...very expensive.

  • Can i use my sim card from iphone 3g for a iphone 4?

    can i use my sim card from iphone 3g for a iphone 4?

    Not as it is, no. The iPhone 4 takes micro-SIMs. It is apparently possible to cut down a standard SIM, but it would be best to just get a new micro-SIM from your cell carrier.

  • Can I use a sim card from my galaxy S3 for and iphone

    Wanted to know if I purchase an iphone 5 can I use the sim card from my Galaxy S3 Verizon phone.

    hi there,
    unfortunately you cannot.
    The iPhone 5 uses a 4th generation SIM card (NanoSIM) while the Samsung Galaxy S3 uses a 3rd generation MicroSIM. You can however use your existing MicroSIM in an iPhone 4 or 4S
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

  • My phone is going to be cut of by orange cos I can't afford the bill but I got my current phone direct from apple shop can I use another SIM card from another network in

    my iPhone is going to be cut of by orange as I can't afford the bill, my current phone is direct from an apple shop as I had to have it replaced , can I put another sim in from another network and use my phone on a pay as you go from O2

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Can I using any SIM card at any where in my IPhone4 when I purchase from South Africa Vodacom ??

    Can I using any SIM card at any where(even oversea's sim card) in my IPhone4 when I purchase from South Africa Vodacom ??

    You are correct, I did a little digging as well.
    Here is an official Apple document that confirms what Lucas found.  That way you can see the information directly from the source itself.

  • Can I put my sim card from my iPhone into my iPad 2?

    I would like to know if I can put my O2 sim card from my I phone 4 into my iPad 2? Also would this cause any problems with my contacts etc stored onto my sim card?

    Wouldn't work. You have to have a 3G iPad equipped for AT&T or Verizon to use the cellular feature. You pay by the month for this service.  The 3G iPad includes a sim card & also additional electronics for AT&T or Verizon.

    Can i put my SIM card from my old iphone 5 into my new Iphone 5 i just purcahed? And will my phone start working?

    Yes all of the iPhone 5 family use the nano sim, so as long as you did not switch to a phone locked to another network it will work.  But you do need to go through the activation/setup procedure with tHat sim.

    Yes. If you buy a WiFi+3G ipad (GSM or AT&T) in the US you can use microSIMs from other countries also. There are very few iPads (usually purchased as part of a subsidized package with a service provider) that are locked.

  • How can i use defferent sim card providres on my iphone?

    Hi
    How can i use defferent sim card providres on my iphone?

    You can only do so if your phone is officially unlocked. If your phone is carrier locked now, you need to contact the carrier your phone is locked to to see if they offer unlocking, and what the cost/procedure is.

  • Im from Spain, but If Im in US and I buy the new Iphone 5, I dont know If later I could use it in Spain?

    Im from Spain, but If Im in US and I buy the new Iphone 5, I dont know If later I could use it normally in Spain?
    There are some problems now? Or forever?
    Thanks

    Currently, the iPhones available in the U.S. are locked to american carriers so they cannot be used with other carriers anywhere else.
    An Unlocked version of the iPhone should be released some time soon, though no actual date has been given yet.
    The Unlocked phone should let you use a sim from any carrier in the phone and have it work.
    However, it is up to the cell carriers in Spain wether or not they have Nano sims for sale to be used with an iPhone 5.  If they do you may be able to purchase an unlocked Phone and use a sim card from a carrier in spain.
    Talk to your carrier first to make sure they have Nano sims available for purchase.

  • Iphone 3 dropped in salt water. Appears non-functional - won't turn on. Nothing on SIM card -- had that checked. Is there ANY way to retrieve the photos and contacts. There is no backup of them.

    iphone 3 dropped in salt water. Appears non-functional - won't turn on. Nothing on SIM card -- had that checked. Is there ANY way to retrieve the photos and contacts. There is no backup of them.

    leave the phone in rice for >24 hours to see if it will recover
    you can check itunes as well to see if there are backups there from the top of the screen hit edit (itunes on mac) > preferences > devices , and see if a backup is listed
    also check icloud.com to see if you had any of the information backed up there (only possible if have have a 3gs or higher)
    also there are data recovery companies that can recover data even from wrecked hard drives but its not cheap, if your interested in that I would say lookup a company called drivesavers, I believe they are authorized to work on even in warranty iphones
    good luck

  • My macbook is 4 years old, i havent bought any upgrades but now i cant download the new itunes. Can i buy one upgrade and will it work or is there a way to get the new itunes?

    My macbook is 4 years old, i havent bought any upgrades but now i cant download the new itunes. Can i buy one upgrade and will it work or is there a way to get the new itunes?

    Even a four-year-old MacBook should have come with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Leopard can run the latest version of iTunes; it will download and install pretty much automatically if you run Software Update.
    You might first have to be sure that you are running the latest version of Leopard, which is 10.5.8. This, too, will download and install for you if you run Software Update. Just keep running Software Update until there is nothing left to download and install (you might have to run it more than once because some updates require previous updates to be installed first).
    If you have a version of Mac OS X earlier than 10.5, then you can't run the latest version of iTunes. You will need to buy a more recent version of Mac OS X. You must be running at least 10.4 Tiger, and you can upgrade directly to Snow Leopard from Tiger. Apple still sells Snow Leopard for about $30 and you might find it slightly less at a retailer or on eBay. After upgrading to Snow Leopard, you will be able to upgrade to Lion using the Mac App Store for another $30 or so if your MacBook meets the minimum system requirements.
