I bought my iphone from Egypt and i want to use it in germany for 5 months

Dear Mr. or Mrs.,
Now I have bought my iPhone4 from Egypt and it is locked for Vodafone Egypt , but I am travelling to Germany and I will be staying there for 5 months as I am doing my Bsc. at Aalen uni. , so how can i solve that problem as i want to use my iPhone in Germany for that five months using a SIM card from a German Company like vodafone Germany. Pleas help me as it is very nessecary for me to take my iPhone with me. and thank you very much

You have only a single option - ask Vodofone to unlock it. If they won't or simply don't do that under any circumstances, then there is nothing to be done about it. You can still use it in Germany, but you'll pay roaming fees. Unless, of course, Vodofone offers some kind of package or deal for long term travelers - worth asking them about it.
An alternative would be to see if you could rent/lease a phone for the 5 months in Germany. I've never done it, but there are companies that rent phones for such periods for travelers.

  • I want to buy the Iphone from UK and I want to use it also in Greece ???

    Hello
    I want to buy the Iphone from UK and I want to use it also in Greece, with my Greek number. It is possible or it is locked ?
    Thank you?

    Just bought one, works fine, even entered the hardware serial number to find out what coverage is available for it and its covered until September 2008, and thinking to apply for AppleCare Protection Plan. I don't claim that everything on ebay is fine, there are a lot of fakes and such a puchase is for experiensed ebay users ONLY.
    But it can be unlocked and until they set it free, there will be thousants sold like mine. I wouldn't wait for some months to buy it from the well known phone resailer in Greece, who could give me no support at all, with a closed contract with a provider for I don't know how many years and pay double as much as it really costs.

    iPhone warranty is only valid in the country of origin.
    You could try taking it to an Apple store and see what they offer.

  • Hi! I bought my iPhone from USA and the power button doesn't work. I have warranty. I will come to UK soon. I wanna learn; can i benefit my warranty in UK?

    Hi! I bought my iPhone from USA and the power button doesn't work. I have warranty. I will come to UK soon. I wanna learn; can i benefit my warranty in UK?

    The warranty is not and has never been International.  Warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.  The only exception is for devices sold in the EU where the EU is treated as one country for warranty and support purposes.

  • HT201529 I bought my iPhone from Verizon and having their service.  Does my iphone has a default SIM PIN?

    I bought my iPhone from Verizon and having their service.  Does my iphone has a default SIM PIN?

    The 4G LTE SIM card in your device contains information about your plan, device and more. You can set a SIM PIN so others won’t be able to access that information if your SIM card is removed from your device.
    If you remove your SIM card and insert it another device (e.g., when you upgrade to a new device), you’ll be asked for the SIM card PIN. You can find your SIM card PIN in My Verizon if you’ve forgotten it. Or, if you’ve entered your SIM card PIN unsuccessfully 3 times, you’ll need the PIN Unblocking Key (PUK) to unlock your SIM card again. After using the PUK, you’ll need to create a new PIN for your SIM card if you want to secure it again.
    To locate the SIM PIN / PUK numbers for your 4G LTE SIM card:
    Navigate to the Overview page in My Verizon.
    Click My PIN and Unblocking Key (PUK) under About My Device.
    Your default PIN and PUK will be displayed in a pop-up window.
    Click Close when you’re finished to return to the My Verizon Overview page.
    You’ve successfully located your SIM PIN and PUK.

  • HT204380 I bought an iPhone from etisalat and there is no FaceTime, how do I reinstall it?

    I bought an iPhone from etisalat and there is no FaceTime, how do I reinstall it?

    You may try 3rd party softwares like Viber or Skype which support video calling both over WIFI and on 3G, unlike FT calling which can only be done over WIFI.
    And if the FT feature is so important for you, you can sell this phone and buy a factory unlocked iPhone of a country where FT is not blocked by law. (Avoid Model #s ending with AE & AB).

  • I bought an iPhone from Ebay and it did not turn on so I looked on WinSCP and it said there was NO files PLEASE can someone send me iPhon 4 files!

    I bought an iPhone from Ebay and it did not turn on so I looked on WinSCP and it said there was NO files PLEASE can someone send me iPhone 4 files!

    No, no one can do that. You need to try restoring it:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • I bought my iphone from jordan and it was locked to orange jordan, now i am living at UAE how can run my phone here ?

    i bought my iphone from jordan and it was locked to orange jordan, now i am living at UAE how can run my phone here ?

    Only Orange Jordan can unlock this phone for you, provided that they offer this service. You can't use UAE SIM in this phone or it will get locked.
    If Orange Jordan doesn't offer unlocking, then your best shot is to sell your phone in Jordan and buy a new one from UAE.

  • Hi I bought an iPhone from uk and now I'm in Cyprus and it's lock, what can I do?

    Hi I bought an iPhone from uk and now I'm in Cyprus and it's lock, what can I do?

    Contact the carrier in the UK that the phone is locked to and put in an unlock request.
    This is the only thing that you can do and the carrier to which the phone is locked to are the only ones that can unlock the phone for you - nobody else can.
    Contact the UK carrier.

    I bought the apple iphone 4G J-5 from Laos and now want to use it in India using the normal Airtel SIM but am not able to make calls from the phone plz. help

    Is this what you have? (see above?) That's what I get when I search for iPhone 4G J-5 in Google.
    If so, this is NOT an iPhone! It is NOT made or sold by Apple. You have a cheap Chinese knockoff.

  • HT204053 I bought an iPhone from someone and I need to set up an iCloud account and it is not giving me the option? What am I missing

    I bought an iPhone from someone and there iCloud account is still on the device. I would like to know how to skip this step or add my own. I have never had an iPhon before so I have no idea what I am doing. Can someone please help me????

    Only the previous owner can help you.  They either need to provide you with the ID and password to delete the existing account, or erase the device and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.  If they aren't willing to do that, return it and ask for your money back.
