HT3529 Using imessage to another country

When we sent a message to another Iphone and showed the imessage in a blue ballon , Is it means that we are texting free??? Even if one user is in The USA and the other in Brazil??

It means you are not being charged for international texting. You are, however, using your data allowance.

    Welcome to our family. We want you to be able to enjoy all the services we provide and we definitely need to address this. Do you receive/make calls without problems? Are you able to receive messages with your contacts' number? Are you using iMessages? If so, go to Settings>Messages>Send&Receive>only your phone number should be enabled.

    MY IPHONE IS NOT A SIM FREE HOW CAN I USE IT IN ANOTHER COUNTRY?

    Apple can do nothing. As Tim said, only the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. You must contact that carrier.

  • Can I buy a 4s in the U.S. without a contract and use it in another country?

    Can I buy a 4s in the U.S. without a contract and use it in another country? I want to buy it in the U.S. but use it in Spain (probably with Orange)

    As long as you buy an iPhone that is unlocked (aka "SIM free") not just without contract. Unlocked iPhones are available only from Apple Stores in the US.
    Note that the warranty on the iPhone is not international, so if you have a problem with a US iPhone, you would have to ship it to someone who could take or send it to Apple for service and then ship it back to you.

  • I got an iphone from an apple store. does it mean that I can use it in another country (since it must be unlocked)?

    Can I use it in another country?
    Not sure what factory unlocked really implies..

    With restriction and proper procedure, you can probably use the iPhone in another country.  As KiltedTim mentioned, you've failed to provide us with sufficient information.  Since you bought the iPhone form an Apple store, why didn't you speak with someone at the store?

  • If i buy a Unlocked iphone 4s and use it in another country will it work with the countrys data Services that are local

    If i buy a Unlocked iphone 4s and use it in another country, will it work with the countrys Local data Services

    hi guys,
    i recently bought a new iphone 4s factory unlocked. in order to avoid sim failures and invalid sim errors or No service errors, Each phone has to be unlocked by connecting it to the Itunes.
    Kindly follow the below steps to avoid any SIM card conflicts
    iPhone FULL Unlock - How it Works:
    -Connect your iphone to itunes without any network sim inside and when connected click on the iphones name.
    - Click Restore install latest version of iTunes on your Pc or Mac or click check for updates
    - Let itunes Backup your phone and then Flash to the Latest Version.
    - Now disconnect phone and reconnect after 10 seconds.
    - Now Enter another network simcard that's not the same network its locked on to
    - Connect phone to iTunes with not accepted (not valid) simcard
    - Wait until iTunes detects the phone
    - iTunes will display (Congratulations, Your iPhone is now unlocked)
    - Phone Unlocked
    - just follow the instructions about activating the Iphone.
    and iphone is unlocked
    NOTE : This is the only FULL LIFE TIME UNLOCK solution for Apple iPhone as the IMEI is registered as UNLOCKED in Apple database.
    This solution should be used ONLY THOSE WHO BOUGHT FACTORY UNLOCKED iPHONE 4S.
    Your phone will always be unlocked even after each new update of your phone firmware !
    All reasons given like bad IMEI series, manufacturing defects etc blah blah are not logical as everything was tested before every sale.

  • When using imessage with another iphone user, is it still free to message them if they're out of the country?

    my friend is out of the country, and he wants use imessage, but i dont know if it will give me charges to my account and apple doesnt mention if it's only unlimited messaging within the country

    iMessage uses data, just like an email, if I can use that analogy. It will not count as SMS, however I have read somewhere where some people have reported getting SMS charges when using iMessage. I believe it is impossible though, unless the message does not go through and you have send as SMS checked in settings if the iMessage fails.

  • Charged for using iMessage with another iPhone

    Why did I get charged for
    Using iMessage and texting another iPhone!

    was the other iPhone on the iOS 5?  iMessages only works on latest iOS, so when you text an older phone it won't be free. 
    Also, even if you have iMessage, the color coding is what indicates if it will be an iMessage or an TXT Message.
    iMessage = Blue
    TXT Message = Green

  • I bought an IPhone 4s at an Apple store whilst living in China with the carrier China Mobile. It is a prepaid phone (no plan). Can I use it in another country by changing the SIM card? Or does it need to be unlocked? Can it be unlocked?

    I lived in China when I bought the IPhone 4s with China Mobile. It is prepaid so I have to put money on my phone when it runs out. Now I'm living in Mexico and I was wondering if I could keep using my IPhone with the mexican carrier TELCEL. Can I just insert a new SIM card from this company? Or does it have to be unlocked? BTW I had no contract with China Mobile. Thank you in advance:)

    Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
    Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
    Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
    No, which is not possible.
    What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
    Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

  • Buy an iPhone in the US but use it in another country

    Hi forum!
    I want to get an iPhone 4 in my current country (México). The problem is, the price of the 32GB device here is of $12,000 pesos, which is equal to approximately $1,000 US dollars. As you can see, I'd much rather buy a MacBook at that price.
    I was wandering if there is any possibility to but the iPhone in the US (I have US citizenship and a residence in San Diego, so I visit often) and use it here with the Mexican carrier Telcel (they have iPhone plans), without contracting AT&T.

    As to what others have said, you are just better off buying one in Mexico. No iphone in U.S, whether it's a contract or not, it is 100% locked to AT&T. Neither Apple nor AT&T unlocks them officially.
    If you really want to buy a factory unlocked iphone, you have an option to buy it from Canadian apple online (only online) store. However, you need a physical billing and shipping address in Canada to order and it will not be shipped outside of Canada. If you have friends or relative in Canada, then have them order one for you. Keep in mind that the warranty is valid only in Canada, if purchased in Canada.

  • Trouble with iMessage from another country

    Hello, my girlfriend is in Ireland and is trying to iMessage and also later face time with me. She said the iMessages are not going through but that the Facebook messenger stuff is going through. She has all the roaming data and stuff off but not airplane mode of course.  Is there a reason iMessage would not be working?

    Her phone keeps trying to send it as a text instead if an iMessage.

  • Using iphone in another country

    It is posible to buy the iphone 5s unlocked in the UK and being able to use it in Spain?

    According to the UK Online store. Yes, the iPhone 5S is unlocked.
    http://store.apple.com/uk/buy-iphone/iphone5s
    Whether it will work on Spanish carriers depends on their bands.
    Talk to your Mobile carrier for specifics.
    Technically it should work on any GSM carrier, Though LTE may not be available in all areas.

  • Using Maps in another country

    I'm traveling Thailand and I'm using Maps on my iPhone 3G. It's working fine; however, all the map data on the screen is in Thai. I know that Maps uses Google, so I went into google on the iPhone and changed my settings to English, but the Maps app still shows all map data in Thai...I want to switch it to English.
    Any ideas?

    I thought maybe this would be resolved in the 2.2 update, but no.
    I see that True Corp are now advertising that they will be selling iPhones in Thailand soon, so maybe they will get this sorted out.
    Cheers
