I bought iphone 4s in America but I'm now in China and I can't make phone calls.How can I do???

How can I do??? I can't use it.

If you're using a US SIM card, then you can use your phone in China if you have contacted your carrier about turning on roaming services (before you left the country). If you plan to put a Chinese SIM in your phone, that won't be possible if your phone is locked to your carrier.

  • Iphone is disabled and old will allow emergency phone calls, how can I enter password

    iphone is disables and will only allow emergency phone calls, how can I enter a password to unlock it?

    Just restore it by putting the phone into DFU mode. You will loose every thing but it will be back to normal pal
    Press and hold power and home button together for 10 seconds by connecting it to cable, leave the power button but keep holding the home button for 30 seconds and it will go into DFU mode. Open Itunes and just perform a restore or update

  • I bought I phone in El Salvador and siri won't make phone calls

    I bought I phone in El Salvador and siri won't make phone calls

    According to this forum: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2175165/all, it seems that Siri is expecting a 7-8 digit phone numbers excluding the country code and area code, so adding an extra "0" digit or two at the back of the phone number may be able to fix your problem. The phone number should still connect correctly. Try that, it works for me in Indonesia where some phone numbers are still 6 digits.

  • My 4S has stopped ringing. Voicemail's disabled but if you call me, you'll hear it ring your end but it does nothing at mine and freezes if I make a call. Texts are not being delivered or coming through delayed. Ringer is on, tone enabled - help!

    My iPhone 4S has stopped ringing altogether. Voicemail is disabled but if you call me, you'll hear it ringing at your end but it does nothing my end and freezes in the phone app if I make a call (doesn't ring or connect and doesn't freeze the phone, just the calling part). Texts are not being delivered or coming through delayed. Ringer is on, tone enabled - help!
    I've disabled roaming so it only runs on wifi (this after getting a £4k phone bill...) and I can use Skype, Viber and WhatsApp with no problem at all.
    Would really appreciate any help at all!
    Many thanks.

    Hi there - am with Orange and they said nothing wrong with account and service running normally.  They said if they had cut me off I would've received a text (debatable with current message receiving situation!) and when I called out it would say 'calls from this number are barred'.  Also if you called me it would say something similar.  But it doesn't, it will ring and ring until it rings off but nothing happens at all on my handset. Not even a missed call notification.  If I call out, it will display that it is calling the number but that's it.  If I cancel the call it will constantly display 'ending call'.  If I come out of the phone and go to another app then revist phone it will start calling that last dialled number - without ever getting as far as ringing or connecting.

  • We just bought a new ipod touch, but only iphoto connects to it and i can't set it up with my itunes account.  I have 2 other ipods already

    I am trying to add another ipod device to my itunes account, but itunes does not pick up the device.  I have 2 other ipods that work just fine.  Only iphoto picks up the device.

    What happens when you try to sync the music and videos to the iPod?
    Was all media purchased wit the same Apple ID?
    Did the music and videos sync to the old iPod?

    Hi,
    I would like to ask you a question.
    a month ago I bought a battery case for iPhone 5 and it worked properly until I installed iOS 7. From that day my iphone is operating normally, BUT when the battery is empty, unfortunately I can not charge additionally my iphone with the "extra battery case".
    Does that mean that you did not even create a new software that supports additional battery case or it is something else?
    I need your help!!,
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely,
    VK

    The Mophie Air is a good battery case, but doesn't offer the protection she's looking for. I suggest sticking to the Lifeproof, the iPhone has a very good battery (2-3 days moderate usage for me).
    To your 2nd to last paragraph, that is false. Verizon is allowing exisiting customers to keep Unlimited Data - but will lose it once they use a subsidized upgrade. So if you buy a 4S (or LTE device for example) outright, you will keep unlimited data. Mobile hotspot may use up a bit of data, but it is a separate add-on/feature. The new Family Share plans may change that, so it's one giant center of data all devices use.

  • I bought an iPhone at september 2011 but it has been replaced twice, and the last time it was replaced was on February 2012... My question is till when is my warranty activated ???

    I bought an iPhone at september 2011 but it has been replaced twice, and the last time it was replaced was on February 2012... My question is till when is my warranty activated ???

    Your 1 year warranty starts the date of purchase of the original device. If the device is replaced that original warranty stays the same on the new device. Each replacement does come with a 90 day warranty. So if you're out of that original 1 year warranty... you will be covered for atleast 90 days on your replacement device.

  • Just one month before i bought iphone 5... but the iphone has the internet connectivity problem... while a iphone 4s is cathcing 3G tower, whereas iphone 5 is catching 2G network only.... I've tried so many things to get recovered, but alas

    Just one month before i bought iphone 5... but the iphone has the internet connectivity problem... while a iphone 4s is cathcing 3G tower, whereas iphone 5 is catching 2G network only.... I've tried so many things to get recovered, but alas, nothing is workable- such as- restaring the iphone, reseting the networks etc... Please help me out from this problem..

    to be clear, my phone works fine when not in motion in a vehicle.  If I pull over and come to a complete stop, remaining in the car, my phone works.
    And while the phone is not working when I'm in motion, an internet search or a text message will go through, but I can not use Siri or any voice assistance when doing the text message or internet search.  The microphone is greyed out.
    So this is a unique issue, which appears to be the iPhone and not Verizon.

    I share an Apple ID with someone but we are now on iOS8 and getting each others messages on our iphones and ipad. How can I split the account safely as well as protect icloud backed up data?

    Use different Apple IDs for iMessage (and also FaceTime) to avoid getting each others text messages (and FaceTime calls).  One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (and Settings>FaceTime), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  You can continue to shared the same ID for the iTunes store and other services.

  • On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when on calls using internet based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. Voice memos work too and have already tried different SIMs

    On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when I make/receive calls using internet-based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. I have tried recording my voice using voice memos - this works. And have already tried different SIM cards but the problem persists.
    I have taken my phone to an authorized Apple service center, where they restored my phone to factory settings, but still facing the same issue. They service center directed me to Apple Customer Care Hotline, where I have now spent 3+ hours explaining my issue and yet no one can resolve it. The easy answer if to replace the phone - and since it is out of warranty, I am expected to pay for it.
    Additionally, the customer service has been so rude and confrontational that it has completely changed my view of Apple and its customer focus. I am a disappointed and angry customer today - people would be surprised to hear just how rude customer service was including making statements such as "Apple doesnt make infallible products, that's why warranty is needed for our products" and that "every product undergoes a problem at some stage, so do ours!" There goes whatever confidence I had...
    My concern is simple - if no one at Apple and / or its CS hotline is able to address my issue comprhensively and keep telling me that they have never encountered a precedent before, then with what right can they expect me to pay for a replacement?! I am NOT here to fund Apple's research into their product faults and manufacturing.
    And even though a customer is out of warranty, is it too much to expect an Apple product to work well for at least a 'reasonable' period of time. My phone is less than 18 months old and has been facing this issue for the past 2 months - surely the longevity of Apple products is more than 18 months!
    Just a sad sad day for an Apple customer, compounded by unjustifiably rude and aggressive staff. And still no resolution to my problem.

    I am having the same issue - with my last 2 iPhone 4's. My first handset each time I was on a call wether it was up to my ear or on loud speaker, the call would automatically mute even though the mute button wouldn't show up as highlighted. Pressing the mute button on and off during the call doesn't fix it either. I rang Apple and asked what some of their trouble shooting solutions were. I got told that it might be a software issue and to install the latest software update. This failed. I then got told to uninstall the software on the phone and do a complete restore. This also failed. After trying the troubleshooting suggestions, I took the phone into my provider and they sent me out a new phone within a week under warranty claiming it was a hardware issue and probably just a "glitch" with that particular phone. This was not the case....
    After receiving my second iPhone 4, I was hopeful that it would work. For the first couple of days, making/receiving calls was not an issue. Until after about a week, the same problem started again. In one instance I had to hang up and call back 4 times and the call would still automatically mute after about 5 seconds. Also on the second handset, the main camera located on the back of the phone has red and blue lines running through it and can't take a decent picture. So back to the store I go to get another replacement - Again.
    For a phone that is rated highly and as a keen Apple product purchaser, I am a bit disappointed with the experience I have had with the iPhone 4. Let's hope they find a fix sometime soon because this is becoming a bit beyond a joke.....!!

    YOU can't fix it.  But you can bring it in to Apple for an out of warranty replacement for $199.

  • Why is it that my iPhone 4 suddenly lost the sound bar in music and YouTube?  I am able to make phone calls, but otherwise my iPhone is silent.  It says that it is playing music, but no sound is emmitted, nor am I able to change this.

    Why is it that my iPhone 4 suddenly lost the sound bar in music and YouTube?  I am able to make phone calls and hear everything just fine.  but otherwise my iPhone is silent.  It says that it is playing music, but no sound is emmitted, nor am I able to change this.

    Not knowing what steps were included in "all the troubleshooting possible with Apple people," I'll suggest you give the phone a chance to reprovision your cellular account.
    First turn off Wi-Fi. Then power off your phone. Hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the power off slider. Then slide to power off. Turn the phone back on. After the phone starts watch to see if No Serive is displayed. Hopefully after 15-30 seconds that will change to the name of your cellular service provider and finally indicate LTE or 4G as well as include some dots indicating signal strength. You can then turn Wi-Fi back on.
