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.

I have bought my iphone 5 from UK and now residing in USA. Although my carrier (Ultra Mobile) provides 4G service i only get 3G speed. Also icon "3G" appears on top part of my screen. My model is MD297B/A. Pls suggest to enable 4G on my phone

It is more than likely the inability of the UK phone to support the US phone bands. You will probably be stuck with 3G and will never be able to get LTE. Also, your warranty is only good in the UK. You might be better of to try and sell that device to someone in the UK and purchase a phone in the US that you can get full service with.

HT4994 MY IPHONE IS NOT A SIM FREE HOW CAN I USE IT IN ANOTHER COUNTRY?

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.

HT4623 my iphone doesn't work here in Albania after i made an update,it says that u have to change ur Sim Card cuz does not work with ur Carrier...what do i do?

Hpls help me ,my iphone does not work after i updated and restore it..it says that u have to change ur Sim Card..cuz the carrier that u use its not known
But it has worked perfectly before the update!

Your iPhone was almost certainly jailbroken to unlock it from the original carrier. Restoring the iPhone has now removed that jailbreak and the iPhone has relocked back to the original carrier. Only that carrier can authorize an official, permanent unlock, so you will need to contact that original carrier and ask if you would qualify for unlocking.

Why would you buy a micro SIM card? They are free from a VZW corporate store and from customer service. You might have to pay shipping only when you get one from customer service.

Can I use Itunes to sync my contacts to my sim-card?

well, same question as above is asked, Can I use iTunes to copy all my contacts to my Sim-card to use them on another phone witch can't be syncronised with iTunes? anfd if I can do that, How?? Please help me if you can.

No. The iPhone stores no data on a sim card, thus there is no way to do what you want using iTunes.

Can i get an iphone replacement in an apple store if i bought it online?

my iphone 4s has always been shutting down randomly ever since i bought it. Since I bought it online, will i be able to get an iphone replacement in an apple store?

Schedule an appointment with the Genius bar and let them evaluate the device. Where it was purchased (online or in store) is not relevant.
Keep in mind though, warranty and service are only available in the country where the device was originally sold by Apple or their official reseller.

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?

Hello. 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?

. 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 had to change my sim card due to call drop outs and now i have lost important voice messages. How do i get the messages back?

Please help. I lost very important voicemail when i changed my sim card due to call drop out. How do i get my voicemail back??

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
