I live in the uk and have an iPhone 4S, can I use a pay as you go sim in the United States ?

Yep.
But, the US is not like Europe...your choices are very limited, as in only one real choice: T-Mobile.

  • Unlocked old iPhone 3GS for use with pay as you go sim in the UK on vacation. O2 sim works while ph plugged in.  Unplugged, works short time and crashes.  Sometimes won't even re-boot.  Software on phone up to date as far as 3GS goes.

    I brought an old IPhone 3GS to the UK on vacation for use with sim card.  I had the phone unlocked with approval and instructions from ATT.  Store in the UK recommended O2 pay as you go sim which works as long as the phone remains plugged into the wall.  Once unplugged, it will work for a short time and then always crashes.  Sometimes it will re-boot and crash again and sometimes it will not re-boot at all.  One store told me to sync with itunes which I did on my Mac Book.  I don't know if the sim is defective or if the software of the 3GS is just not compatible with the sim when on the battery.  I have updated the software on the phone as far as it will go.  Any suggestions?  Maybe the phone is too old to use with the latest pay as you go sim cards.  I am disappointed that this phone has not been reliable as a pay as you go and I have had to purchase a UK phone here in order to have a reliable phone.

    There is nothing you can do. You bought an illegally unlocked phone off Ebay. A lot of sellers there will tell you it is unlocked but the first time you try to update the operating system it will put the lock back on to the carrier the phone was originally locked to. Sorry but unless the carrier it was locked to will unlock the phone I am afraid you have a very expensive paper weight now. You should have bought it from a reputable dealer instead of ebay.

  • Can I use iPad pay as you go nano sim in iPhone 5s?

    can I use an iPad pay as you go nano sim in my iPhone 5s? Thank you. Jackie

    The chances are that it will only provide data not voice in the same way most carriers ensure a iPhone sim will not work in a non voice device such as an iPad
    Carriers are adept at ensuring only sims with valid tariffs are used

  • Can I use my AT&T GoPhone Prepaid SIM in my iPhone 3G /3GS?

    I have a Go Phone that hasn't been activated. If I take the At&t SIM Card from it and put it in the iPhone 3g or 3gs, will it work?

    "I should also point out that the battery life on my 3G iPhone using the GoPhone sim is AMAZING!"
    Mine too on O2 in the UK with a VALID O2 SIM and with DATA!!!! I've not had less than four days since 3.0 and had NO problems with anything beforehand (AND we have tethering AND MMS already)!
    Seriously, what HACKS ME OFF continuously is those who have problems of their own making because of their own 'taking'!
    Live long and PROSPER (as they say in some parts)....people tend to GET just what they GIVE (we have found)

  • Can I use my unlocked iphone on a pay as you go SIM card?

    I recently bought an iPhone 5 unlocked on the apple store UK. I am wondering if I can use a pay as you go SIM card with a top up card. I don't want to pay anything monthly. I just want to be able to top it up. Can I use pay as you go if it is unlocked?

    If the carrier you wish to use has a pay-as-you-go iPhone plan, then yes, you can. It's a matter for the carrier and not something to do with the iPhone itself, as long as it's truly unlocked.
    Regards.

  • I am moving from London to NYC for a year, will i be able to use my iPhone over there and insert a pay as you go sim?

    I wondered if anyone can advise me on whether its possible to use my iPhone in NYC by getting a pay as you go sim in the US? Do companies offer pay as you go sims over there as i wont have a credit rating.
    Thanks!

    The only supported GSM carrier in the US is AT&T. They will not permit the use of pre-paid SIM cards in the iPhone.
    You can sign up for monthly post paid service with them and use it just fine (assuming your existing phone is legitimately unlocked).
    You can get pre-paid service with T-Mobile or any number of other regional GSM carriers, but not all features of the phone may work properly (or at all).

    Sounds like your iPod is broken. Take it to Apple or someone else who repairs iPods and see if you can get it fixed, or get it replaced.

  • I bought my macbook pro in the US. can i use it in china? (P.S the power in the US is 110v, in China is 220v, however, the mac power supply has said: "Input: 100~240v")

    The Magsafe autoswitches based on detected power.  You will likely need a wall adapter to alter ther US-based 3-prong to whatever is used in China.

  • I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?

    Yes.
    You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus).  There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
    You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers.

  • If I buy an iPad in the US, can I use it with a European carrier's sim card as well?

    Yes, if you get an iPad 2 AT&T model or a new iPad. Be aware that the new iPad may not use the same frequency for LTE that is used is parts of Europe.

  • How to organise Lightroom catalogue, in such a way that the catalogue can be used on another comput

    how to organise(and save) Lightroom catalogue, in such a way that the catalogue can be used on another computer? / so you can see what has been edited etc. /

    Yes, but external disks will always be slower than internal drives.
    Look into file synchronization software. As long as folder structure is identical inside the two master folders, and drive letters the same, you can keep the two machines fully synchronized very easily, going both ways. The one I use cost about $50 or so.
    Use a large capacity 2,5" portable (goes in your pocket) for transport. You need the entire master folder there, but once set up only new or modified files are copied.
    The Lightroom catalog can be synchronized with the rest, so that you are working with the same catalog on both machines. This overwrites the catalog with a new copy every time, so a regular backup schedule in addition is a must. OTOH you will have three copies of every file, one always off-site. That's sound backup practice.
    Tip: exclude the Lr Previews folder from the synchronization. They are written to disk in such a way that they take an insanely long time to copy. New previews will be built on the receiving machine.

    I have heard stories that Apple will not even look at an iPhone purchased
    in another country at any price since they will not be able to replace with an
    identical iPhone which is their practice ( carrier locked etc)
