I just bought an unlocked Iphone 4s and I wanna know if I need to take an Iphone plan or a 30$ plan could be enough and also if I only use it on wi-fi do I need to have datas in my plan?

The iPhone is designed to always have an internet connection as long as there is an available wi-fi network you have access to, or cellular reception. MMS requires a data connection with your cell phone carrier, which can't be exchanged over wi-fi. If your carrier supports visual voicemail with the iPhone, visual voicemail messages are downloaded to the iPhone via the carrier's cellular data or internet network only, not via wi-fi. If you ever need to make use of the Find My iPhone feature, it will be worthless without a data connection with your carrier's cellular network.
If you don't plan on having a data plan or you can't afford it, your money was wasted purchasing an iPhone. This likely makes no difference since most carriers require a data plan with the iPhone.

I just bought an unlocked iphone 5s, 32GB, and turns out it came with an AT&T sim in it. Is that normal?
Certainly sounds that way, with the fact that there was an ATT card included, and your chosen cell provider SIM doesn't work.

I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%) If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see? There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light. MacBook Pro with Retina display, 15", OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Photoshop CC 2014
I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt. -
If I bought an unlocked iPhone 4S from the U.K. could I use it in South Korea?
I from the U.K. andI want to get an Iphone 4S, but I am currently living in South Korea, and I wanted to confirm whether the iPhone 4S is compatible with the technology that the South Korean networks use. I understand that the unlocked Iphone 4S is a 'world phone', but this does not always mean that it be used in every single country.
Yes, you can, but you will have to register it with the carrier first, it's actually quite painless.
You can read up on the process here: http://expatblog.kt.com/71
They also have a twitter that answers questions in English: @olleh_expats
Hope that helps.

. 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 just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.
So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there? -
I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan
You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source. -
Just bought a new iPhone and I can't back up to iCloud.
Just bought a new iPhone and I can't back up to iCloud. The error message says "Not enough storage". When I go to Settings>iCloud, it gives me 2 devices, my old iphone 4s has 3.5GB, the new 4s has 0KB. When I go to delete the old backup the warning says "Do you want to turn off backup and delete all backup data from iCloud?" That is definitely not what I want to do. How do I keep my data from my old phone? All I am backing up are contacts and calendar, my photos have never been backed up on iCloud. Don't get why that is taking up all the storage.
Deleting the backup from your old phone only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud. It doesn't do anything to the data on your phone, or the iCloud data your are syncing with iCloud. If you no longer need the backup of your other phone you can go ahead and delete it to free up space in your iCloud account.

You need to pay your mobile network provider for the calls, SMS and data you need to use your phone. This is an ongoing charge, usually paid monthly.
This is nothing to do with Apple. Apple only provided the handset - not the mobile network you use it on. -
I have just bought a new mac book, and I want to start from scratch by syncing the content of my iPhone, but each time I try it wants to delete everything on the iPhone and replace by what's on the new iTunes library, i.e. nothing! can I do the reverse, i.e. importing all my iphone's stuff on the new computer?
You need to copy some files and your iTunes folder to the new computer. Do you have a backup of your old computer (or still have the old computer?) Was the old computer a Mac or PC?

I bought an unlocked iPhone 4s in America from an Apple Store, need Japanese service.
As the topic line states, I bought an unlocked iPhone 4s in America from an Apple Store, need Japanese service. I need to use it in Japan. What should I do? What is a good provider? I heard that Softbank will not let you use ANY iPhone that is not purchased from them. So I am wondering what to do.
I will be studying in Japan for 15 months, so I think it best that I get a 2 year contract, seeing as I plan to work here, following graduation. Does anyone know a way around the Softbank issue? If not, should I choose AU or Docomo? If those don't make much sense, either, than should I simply return the iPhone that I purchased in America and sign up for a two year contract with Softbank here?
P.s. The whole purpose behind buying it in America to begin with was because if I return to America, I can always use it there, too.Hi,
I am in the same situation as Iooc, I live in Uruguay and the iphone 4s costs 1400 Us dollars. I have been told that this price is caused because apple does not offer a discount to the Uruguayan distributors, therefor they are buying at the same price as in an apple store.
Well, as I have a friend travel next week to the US, I wanted to know about the unlocked iPhone 4s. Is it only GSM? Won't I be able to use intent 3G in this phone here in Uruguay?
Thanks -
I bought an unlocked iPhone in NY in 04/23/2010, and it and it came locked
I bought an unlocked iPhone and pay U$ 499 + tax in the Apple store in NY in 04/23/2010, and it came locked.
What should I do to solve this problem ?All iPhones sold in the US are carrier locked to AT&T.
You can buy iPhones with out a contract from Apple but they are still carrier locked to AT&T, you just don't have to sign a two year contract.
As far as getting an iPhone unlocked it is up to the original carrier to unlock the iPhone. However in the US AT&T does not unlock the iPhone. So if you want to use the iPhone with another carrier you are out of luck. You can sign up with AT&T and paying roaming charges to use the iPhone that you currently have. That wouldn't be cheap so I would suggest selling the iPhone and purchasing an iPhone in the country where the iPhone will be used.
Here is a list of all the iPhone carriers:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937
If you are in Brazil there are 4 carriers for the iPhone. Claro, VIVO & TIM all offer the iPhone, and they are apparently locked to the carrier, so it would work only on that carrier. However according to the document Oi sells the iPhone unlocked, so I would suggest contacting them if you are interested in an unlock iPhone.
On a side note, maybe we should have a communal answer that we can just cut an paste... -
I just bought a new iphone and I signed on to icloud but hardly anything is showing up on my phone
I just bought a new iphone and I signed on to icloud but hardly anything is showing up on my phone. How can I get all my apps, pictures ect
You have to start by erasing your phone. If you have any newer data on your phone that is not contained in the backup you'll need to save that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore from.
Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.
