I have a Samsung SIII and will be traveling out of the country. Do I need to get a micro SIM card instaslled for international ? I was told Verizon has them free for customers but that it needs to be "sert up". Also, are there alternatives to going through the verizon data plan (which is very expensive.
Thanks

Your phone already has a micro SIM card in the device so it can connect to the VZW network. You will need an international plan from VZW if you intend to use that SIM card. Otherwise you can get a new SIM card from the local carrier and setup the phone for global use with a separate APN with that carrier's specific information.

I just bought an iPhone that is stuck on the setup screen. I have Tmobile and want to know if I should unlock my phone first or get a micro sim card from Tmobile

My iPhone 4 is stuck on the setup screen. I just bought it tonight and plan to use it on Tmobile but it is not unlocked yet. I was wondering if I should unlock the phone first or get my SIM card situation figured out with Tmobile first. Thanks for any help.

You'll have to get the SIM card first, you can't set it up without a supported SIM.

HT201269 Do I need to get a fresh Sim card? My wife's 3G has the old style sim and my old 4 (that I am passing to her) has the micro-sim, they are different phone numbers - what do I do?

Good morning, this may sound dumb but I don't know how to to do this.
My wife currently has a iPhone 3g with her mobile number and the Sim card is the old style standard sim
I am transferring my iPhone 4 to her and that has a microsim with my number info on it.
Does this mean that I have to get a clean microsim for her or will all the data transfer from Itunes to the 'new' iP4.
Now, how do I actually go about doing it?
Do I take my sim out ot the iP4 and put it into the micro adaptor and slot it into her phone and back up from her machine, or what do I do - Please respond in technophobe (I'm an old duffer:-) )

You need to get a sim sim, activated, wirh your wife's account info on it. Your carrier should give you one for free. Either that, or you cut down your wife's existing sim. If you do a Google search you'll find instructions/tools on how to do so.
After you get the sim situation straightened out, backup your wife's 3G in iTunes. Then on your 4, turn off iMessage, FaceTime, Find My Phone & delete the iCloud account. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. When finished, restore from the backup you made of the 3G. Sync her content to the phone.
You should be good to go.

HT1386 I have double and triples of photo's on my iPad. Not all my pics but most of them. I was told that I screwed up in synching with iTunes when I initally set up. How in the **** do I get rid of all the dups? I cannot delete them from my iPad. HELP ME

If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app. Look there and see if they are still there.
If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows. If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again. Make sure you transfer purchases first. Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced.

I sent my Iphone 5c in for repair and when they sent it back my sim card wasn't in it is there any way i can have them send it back or do I need to get a new sim card for it?

You'll have to get a new one from your carrier. I believe the shipping instructions for mail in service explicitly tell you to take it out as you will most likely not receive the same phone back. Apple doesn't repair most phones, they replace them.

I have an iphone 5 w/hot spot but am traveling out of the country. If I turn off cellular data

I HAVE AN IPHONE 5W/HOT SPOT VERIZON PLAN AND AM TRAVELING OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
IF I TURN OFF CELLULAR DATA AND DATA ROAMING TO AVOID DATA FEES, IT DISCONNECTS MY HOT SPOT.
IS THERE A WAY TO TURN DATA OFF AND STILL UTILIZE HOT SPOT?

Hi Friend,
If you turn off Cellular Data you are unable to use hotspot.
But you can turn on Airplane Mode and them turn on Wifi, then you can use Wifi wherever you are with Wifi connection. But remember, if you turn on Airplane mode, it automatically turn off your Wifi, so you need to trun on it again,
Hope it will be helpful

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.
If you have this persons email address, try sending them an email and asking them to remove their ID as described above.

My sis just got her iPhone 4 , and was told that it has been kept for almost a year. And is now charging it for about 5 hours. Still it is only 7 % charged. What seems to be the problem?

Help! My sister just got her iPhone 4. She was told that it was kept for almost a year. She has been charging it for almost 6 hours! Still, it is only 7% charged. Is it normal? How long will it take to charged it fully??? Thanks!

Not sure what "being kept" means. If it means it was new in the box and not used for a year then the battery is probably near dead as lithium ion batteries need excercise (a full charge cycle per month). If this is what you mean she will need to put a new battery in it.

HT1430 I am unable to turn of my iphone. The red slider does not appear. I took it to a shop and was told that i could also shut it off by a screen tht slows a numbr of icons ans allows for customized motions for the phone, etc, etc.-but I still can't shu

It is a simple thing to turn off the iphone witht the slider. But my slleep button is not working and I am not at home to take it in. I did take it to a local phone shop out of the U.S. and I was shown a different screen to customize movements that I could use and a number of other personalizations that i had never used before. He showed me how to bring up the red slider without usint the sleep button, but it was fast and I now cannot find out how he did it. It looked real easy but there are so many differnt things that one can do to adjust the phone to your own liking. Has anyone come across this before? This would be for someone who knows how to use an iPhone 3S that has been fine-until now! Thanks.

No.
As provided, you will get the exact same model, storage, color, etc

Traveling out of the country, can I use a converter to charge

We will be traveling throught Europe and I want to be sure that I can charge our family's 2 iPod touch devices using a regular travel converter. I know you cannot use a standard converter for a laptop but what about our iPods

You can use the standard charger for 110/220V 50/60Hz. You do not need a converter, only an adapter to convert from the US flat prong plug to the plug shapes of the country you are in. They are only a dollar or two each.

I can't get good Verizon service in the Pa mountains. I have to go 12 miles to the nearest town to make a phone call. What gives? I thought that Verizon has the best coverage of any of the big companies.

I am now in the Pa mountains and I can't get any Verizon wireless phone service. I thought that Verizon had the best coverage of any of the big companies. Why can't I use my smartphone?

I just recently moved from FL (where I had great service) to PA. My zip is 17814 and I have a Samsung Galaxy III phone which really doesn't work anywhere except when I go 2 the nearest town. I am most annoyed because my neighbor has a Sprint phone and he can get service even at my house! I hope I don't have 2 get another cell phone while I am in PA...I have been a Verizon customer 4 many years.

I have a uk ipad2 with 3G and am going to the USA I want to get a micro sim from AT

I have a UK ipad2 with 3G and am going to the USA. I want to get a micro sim from AT&T so that I can use 3G in the USA. My question is that I know that I will need to sign up for an AT&T account on my Ipad.
Do AT&T accept foreign credit cards so that I can do this? I only have a european Visa/Amex credit card.
If they don't, is there any way that I can purchase a dongle in the USA and use a USB adaptor on my ipad2?
I appreciate any feedback - i have spoken to loads of people from Apple and AT&t but noone seems to know the answer.
thanks

You need a US credit card with a US address.
