I am buying iPad 3 from us to use in use. should i buy AT&T or Verizon

I am buying ipad 3 ftom the us to use in UAE. should i get AT&T or Verizon

In terms of international use, both versions are identical (BOTH have a SIM slot and both support the same 3G and LTE frequencies).
The choice really only matters if you live in, and will be using the devie in the USA as Verizon's and AT&T's LTE coverage is not identical - both only have limited LTE at this time and one or the other may be your best choice depending on where in the USA you live.
But you can buy either one, pop the SIM out and go with a local provider.

Is it possibleto buy iphione 5s and an ipad air from US for use in Zimbabwe?

Is it possible to buy an iphone 5s and an ipad air from US for use in Zimbabwe?

iPhones sold at less than full price are locked to a wireless carrier
and in the US you are agreeing to a 2 year contract with that wireless
carrier. Such iPhones will only work with the wireless carrier to which
they are locked, and only that carrier can unlock the iPhone.
Be advised that Apple sells 2 types of iPhones at the same price-
one is contract free meaning the iPhone is locked to a wireless provider
but no 2 year contract is required, and the other is unlocked meaning it
can be used with any wireless provider that uses the same bandwidths
and protocols as the iPhone supports.
If you purchase an iPhone from the US, the warranty will be valid only in
the US. Should a problem arise, you would have to personally bring the
iPhone to Apple in the US or send it to a friend/relative in the US to take in.
Apple does not accept international shipments for evaluation nor will Apple
ship out of the country after repair. A US purchased iPhone will not work
with LTE/4G outside of North America. But your iPhone locally to avoid
these problems.

When I try to buy or update an app on my ipad, a window comes up asking me for a password using SOMEONE ELSE'S apple ID which prevents me from buying the app. How can I get my ipad toprompt for a password using my own apple ID, like it does w/ itunes

When I try to buy or update apps, myipad asks me for a password using SOMEONE ELSE'S apple ID, which prevents me from buying/updating apps. But when I am buying songs on itunes, the ipad asks me for my password using MY OWN apple ID and everything works fine. HOW DO I GET MY IPAD TO REQUEST MY PASSWORD USING MY OWN apple ID WHEN I AM BUYING OR UPDATING APPS?

The apps you are trying to update were purchased with (and therfore permanently linked to) someone elses Apple ID. If you do not know the password then you need to delete the app and redownload/purchase it with your Apple ID.

I want to buy a wifi 3G iPad 2 from the US apple store and get a relative to bring it down to Sri Lanka. Does it come unlocked for other cellular carriers or is it restricted and needs to be unlocked?

Hi I want to buy a WIFI+3G iPad 2 from the US apple store and get it shipped to a relative in the US to bring it down to Sri Lanka. My question is, is the iPad 2 unlocked to be used with any carrier worldwide or will i have to unlock it myself? Or is there any way to purchase a iPad 2 without selecting a specific US carrier?
Thanks,
Milinda

iPads bought in the US are not locked to a carrier, but only the AT&T version uses micro-sim cards - the Verizon model is CDMA based and doesn't use sim cards, so for that reason is effectively locked. With the AT&T version you should be able to just swap in a local micro-sim - you don't have to activate a service with AT&T

How can I buy an unlocked iPad 2 from online store

I want to ask if I can buy an un locked iPad 2 from the online store
notice that I am not in the United States and I am going to used it out side it

I guess there's huge differences in mobile telephony and and mobile Internet understanding in US and Europe. Mobile market in Europe is much more liberated and unified at the same time (GSM being the only widely adopted system in Europe - so far at least). The question in the first post was really simple:
If I buy AT&T (GSM) version of iPad 2 will I be able to use it with other GSM micro-sim cards from other carriers worldwide? Or is iPad locked to AT&T USA like iPhone is.
Then all of a sudden people started to talk about Verizon and AT&T differences, eBay thing etc - it is not the point.
So let's wait for someone who can get their hands on iPad 2 GSM (AT&T), travel to Europe, swap the sim and then confirm here for our benefit.

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.

Vendors, I noticed the price of the IPAD 2 was identical at Walmart,Best Buy, Frys, and the Apple store the sales person at The Apple Store told me the main benefit to buying the IPAD 2 from the Apple Store is that they do all the initial set up of the device is this not the case for all the vendors of the IPAD2? Also as I was inside the local Apple Store they were conducting some sort of tutorial on the use of the IPAD 2( at least 40 persons in attendance) is this free?

There are no vendors on this site - just other users helping each other solve issues ..... but to answer your questions.....
Those instructional workshops are free to attend. This is copied from the information website at one of the Apple Stores in Pittsburgh, PA
Take a workshop. On the house.
Learn something new by taking a free workshop at an Apple Retail Store. Our workshops are taught by people passionate and knowledgeable about Apple products and eager to share their knowledge with you. Sign up in advance or drop in. You’ll have a great time, learn new skills, and pick up loads of tips.
If the price is the same everywhere that you have looked - I would suggest purchasing wherever you feel most comfortable. I think you might be answering your own question though when you ask if the workshops are free. You are not going to get the type of instruction - if you get any at all - from a reseller like you will get at an Apple Store. The Apple Store will set the device up for you if you want them to do so.

Buying ipad from usa to use in australia

buying ipad from usa and using in australia.can you do it and what do you need for it to work.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Yes you can do it, and if you search, upper right corner this has been discussed recently.
The iPad is compatible in both countries...charger handles 100-240 volts at 50-60 Hertz...just need the proper plug piece or converter. That should be easy enough, the plug piece slides off horizontally and the proper one for the country slides on...same piece for all iDevice chargers.
Service plans you need to check into.

If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?

If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?
E.g. I buy it in BestBuy, I still can take the iPad Air to the genius bar if there are problems for the iPad?
Thanks!

Yes, as long as you buy a new device from an Apple Authorized reseller (which BestBuy is) then you have the normal Apple one year warranty with it. Apple will honor that warranty in any of their stores, and anyone with any Apple device is welcome in any Apple retail store with questions or seeking help.

AT&T and europe all use GSM . There is no CDMA in Europe
A genuine unlocked iPhone 4/4S from Europe will work fine
A similar unlocked iP5 will work on 3G but NOT on 4G as the
European iP5 does not have the 4G bands suitable for use in US
and the warranty will not be valid in the US it is not international

When i buy a ipad mini from verizon will it work in india

BobTheFisherman, thank you
I'm grateful that you helped me with understanding it. Now I get it.
Dah•veed, with all due respect,
What I asked about is the same thing ahmedsamiul707 asked about. I just wanted to know something more about the same thing. When you read the forum, you can see many threads which are exactly the same. Why add another thread if you have the same question? Only wanted an explanation. Was that so hard?
So to make it clear - as BobTheFisherman provided - all iPads are unlocked.
