I just bought an unlocked iphone 5s, 32GB, and turns out it came with an AT&T sim in it. Is that normal?
Certainly sounds that way, with the fact that there was an ATT card included, and your chosen cell provider SIM doesn't work.

I just bought an unlocked Iphone 4s and I wanna know if I need to take an Iphone plan or a 30$ plan could be enough and also if I only use it on wi-fi do I need to have datas in my plan?
The iPhone is designed to always have an internet connection as long as there is an available wi-fi network you have access to, or cellular reception. MMS requires a data connection with your cell phone carrier, which can't be exchanged over wi-fi. If your carrier supports visual voicemail with the iPhone, visual voicemail messages are downloaded to the iPhone via the carrier's cellular data or internet network only, not via wi-fi. If you ever need to make use of the Find My iPhone feature, it will be worthless without a data connection with your carrier's cellular network.
If you don't plan on having a data plan or you can't afford it, your money was wasted purchasing an iPhone. This likely makes no difference since most carriers require a data plan with the iPhone. -
I just bought a (used) Iphone 3gs for wife and it had angry birds and $89 Navigation on it (I paid extra for it). Once updated and logged into my I-tunes it no longer works? How can I make those apps work?
Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.

Well, there is nothing anyone here can do for you. Did you actually purchase it at an Apple Store, or at another retailer like BestBuy, HH Gregg, a mall kiosk, T-Mobile, AT&T, etc?
The ONLY source for unlocked iPhones in the US is Apple. If you purchased it anywhere other than at an Apple Store, you purchased a locked phone.
You can call AppleCare and give them the serial number of the phone to confirm the status of the lock. -
Hi,
if i buy iphone 5 from the usa can i take it back and use it with my UK O2 sim card and also how much will a 16gb iphone 5 cost in the usa?
thanks
Andyhi there,
you could buy it somewhere in Europe. I know Apple sells them unlocked here in Germany and if I am not mistaken also (among others) in France and Italy.
Yet, as Peter wrote, the warranty can become a problem. Not sure whether a one country only rule goes for the European Community as well though.
As for the price, the 16 GB model costs 679,- € (equals roughly 550 £). Currently there is an average delivery time of 4 to 5 weeks.
LTE connections will not work with Orange or Vodafone. Only EE is about to offer a compatible LTE network. DC-HSPA and regular HSPA+ will work fine.

If i buy the Tmobile version of the iphone 6 plus and pay full price, is the phone still locked into Tmobile network? Last year my iphone 5s wasn't and on activation i used a diferent sim card
Unfortunately I spent my Saturday AM at the Genius bar last weekend and that is when they gave me the new phone. This was after I also spent about 3 hours total on several apple support calls/chats.

Just bought a new replacement phone at the apple store and as soon as I got home, vertical lines came up through the screen and now it's extremely blurry. All the functions of the phone still work fine and I really can't see anything except a small part of the screen at the top. I called the apple store and he told me to put the phone in recovery mode on my computer and the restore and update it. I did this and I can tell the phone has restored yet it is still extremely blurry and I can't see anything to type it in. Is there anything I could do with this? The apple store is over an hour away and saving another trip down there would be great. Thanks
Bad luck. Take ti back.

The question is pretty self-explanatory. But I really do need an answer. I really need to know if I can buy AppleCare Protection after I purchased the iPhone outside of the Apple store??
I fyou can take your iPhone to an Apple store within 30 days (maybe less) of purchasing it, and provide tehm with proof of purchase, and let them evaluate that it is not damaged, you should be able to purchase an AppleCare+ program for it (assuming that your iPhone qualifies for AppleCare+).
I purchased my iPhone 5 at an AT&T store and then took it to an Apple store about 3 weeks later to purchase my AppleCare+ for it. Luckily I haven't needed it yet, but so far, it is still only 49 weeks old... -

Sorry for the long intro question. I just bought a new iPhone 5S for me and a new 5C for my wife.
We want to give our kids my old 4S and my wife's old 4. We backed up our old phones and restored
our info to our new ones, but when we connect our old phones, they still show all our songs and iTunes
settings on them (along with the same names as our new ones).
We want to set up our old iPhones for our kids to be able to have their own names on theirs so that
when we connect to my iTunes computer, it sees each phone accordingly, and has only the songs
that they select (whereas I want to keep ALL my songs in my iTunes account on mine, not just some).
How do I do this?You are most welcome

Hii all, I just bought an used iphone 5c from an user and only after a few weeks realised that it got activation locked. He might be unaware of that. Is it possible to get back to him and unlock the device for me as i have not contacts with him presently.
Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

. I've just bought a new iPhone 6 in miami apple store as a unlocked phone. But now it shows the message that my phone is locked and I can't use my russian sim card. What I need to do to unlock it?
The device is locked to Verizon wireless not a Russian cell provider.
You can use Verizon here in the states. Get a Verizon Sim.
In out of the country use, pop in that Sim and it should work. However Verizon does not unlock for use in the USA.
And you must be a Verizon customer to get it unlocked to use in other countries. Apple claims it will work in other countries.
Good Luck -
I bought an unlocked iPhone in NY in 04/23/2010, and it and it came locked
I bought an unlocked iPhone and pay U$ 499 + tax in the Apple store in NY in 04/23/2010, and it came locked.
What should I do to solve this problem ?All iPhones sold in the US are carrier locked to AT&T.
You can buy iPhones with out a contract from Apple but they are still carrier locked to AT&T, you just don't have to sign a two year contract.
As far as getting an iPhone unlocked it is up to the original carrier to unlock the iPhone. However in the US AT&T does not unlock the iPhone. So if you want to use the iPhone with another carrier you are out of luck. You can sign up with AT&T and paying roaming charges to use the iPhone that you currently have. That wouldn't be cheap so I would suggest selling the iPhone and purchasing an iPhone in the country where the iPhone will be used.
Here is a list of all the iPhone carriers:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937
If you are in Brazil there are 4 carriers for the iPhone. Claro, VIVO & TIM all offer the iPhone, and they are apparently locked to the carrier, so it would work only on that carrier. However according to the document Oi sells the iPhone unlocked, so I would suggest contacting them if you are interested in an unlock iPhone.
On a side note, maybe we should have a communal answer that we can just cut an paste...
