I paid full price for my unlocked phone to be able to use it when I travel overseas. Now I'm in Indonesia and I can't use my phone with local sim card. Why?

As above.  This is really starting to **** me off.

Perhaps you didn't a actually buy an "unlocked" iPhone, you just bought one "without contract" - they are both "full price".
Where did you buy it?

  • US AT&T iPhone4 (iOS5) -- use in England with local SIM card?

    I will be travelling to England for several weeks. 
    Can I use my US AT&T iPhone4 (iOS5) by purchasing a SIM card from a U.K. based company?
    Are there any resources on how to do this, and what is the best network  (London, Somerset, Cornwall, Kent)
    Thanks.
    Rick

    Am I correct in reading that the "jailbreaking" software isn't reliable on iOS5 to allow a person to unlock the phone, and insert/use another SIM?
    If that's true, is my only option with this phone to purchase a travel plan with AT&T that will work in England?
    Thanks for the advice!  It's appreciated.

  • I bought an iphone 4s factory unlocked. Can i set it up with my sim card in canada then take it out and bring the phone to iran without any problems?

    I I bought an iphone 4s factory unlocked. Can i set it up with my sim card in canada then take it out and bring the phone to iran without any problems?

    A legitimately unlocked iPhone should work with any compatible 3G GSM carrier. The iPhone, however, is considered 'restricted technology, and cannot be legally taken to Iran.

  • 5 days ago I bought a 13" mac book air from an apple store.  It does NOT have Maverick on it!  I paid full price for it but since it has the old operating system-.I kind of feel like I purchased a "clearance" item but payed full price!  any advice?

    5 days ago I bought a 13" MacBook Air from an apple store.  It does not have Maverick on it!  I paid full price for it, but since it has the old operating system I kind of feel like I bought a "clearance" item but payed full price for it!  Does anyone have any advice, wisdom etc.  This is my first Mac and I'm really bummed that it's not the latest and greatest.  I know I can download maverick for free.....but are there other differences?  Maybe something else that I thought I was getting but didn't?  Thanks.

    There is no difference, you didnt get "shorted" Mavericks is a FREE DOWNLOAD
    Open the APP store and download Mavericks.
    You didnt buy a "clearance" item, you just got an Air that was there at the shop before Mavericks was released.
    There is no difference other than a 40 min. download.

  • How do I activate a used iPhone 3 with no SIM card for use as an ipod touch?

    How do I activate a used iPhone 3G with no SIM card for use like an iPod Touch? It was apparently on AT&T previously and I have another iPhone 3 that is active on AT&T if that is helpful. Thanks!

    Copied from the link provided.
    Follow these steps to use your iPhone without a wireless service plan:
    Insert the SIM card from your new, activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone.
    Connect the iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
    Once iTunes activates the device, you're free to use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

  • Why did my contract restart after I paid FULL price for a phone

    A while back I added a line to my account for my son, I gave him one of my old Smart phones, galaxy S-III, I have never used an upgrade on that line ever. I Just pre-ordered the Samsung Edge, Paid FULL price on Verizon web site. I just looked and I seem to have a new 2 year contract on a line that didn't have ANY contract. Can any one explain this to me? If I cant pre-order a phone or buy a phone on the Verizon web site with out getting locked into a new 2 year contract then i'll order phone's else where.

    Contact customer service. They can see the history of your line and see that the same device ID from your line is the one on your sons line. They will have a record of exactly how the transaction of the order was done online, including the amount paid at that time. they should be able to cancel the contract if you paid the $800 up front

  • Upgrading to 3Gs I paid full price for 3G one year ago

    I'm not sure I understand what the cost of upgrading would be for me. I paid the full price for the iPhone 3G last June because I was not eligible for an upgrade at that time. (I had a WiMo phone then)I did have to sign a new contract with the phone.
    My accounts says I am eligible for an iPhone upgrade on the 13th of June, but I don't know if this will mean a mid year contract price or not since I did not get a subsidized phone price last year.

    Because AT&T is the exclusive cellular provider for the iPhone in the U.S., and because of the subsidy you were provided for the phone you were using prior to purchasing the iPhone 3G.
    Before the iPhone 3GS was announced, AT&T's prices were as follows:
    The subsidized price for the 8GB iPhone 3G was $199, and for the 16GB, $299.
    The non-subsidized price for the 8GB iPhone 3G was $399, and for the 16GB, $499.
    AT&T's no-contract price for the 8GB iPhone 3G is $599, and for the 16GB, $699.
    Both of these price options required a two year contract. This price was/is for existing subscribers who don't qualify for AT&T's subsidized or discounted price with a new phone. This ensures that AT&T recoups the subsidy they provided you for the phone you were using prior to purchasing the iPhone, but you will qualify for AT&T's subsidized or discounted price with a new phone much earlier in the new contract term.
    When you purchase the iPhone 3GS at AT&T's subsidized or discounted price, the same will apply if your iPhone 3GS is lost or stolen and you want to purchase a new iPhone 3GS before you qualify again for AT&T's subsidized or discounted price with a new phone.
    Next year at this time when Apple releases a new iPhone model, more than likely you will not qualify for AT&T's subsidized or discounted price for the new iPhone or for any new phone at that time.

  • Why i can't activate my phone with my sim card

    why i can't activate my phone with my sim card

    Impossible to say without more details. Is the iPhone locked to a carrier, and if so are you using a SIM from that carrier? If you believe that the iPhone is not carrier-locked, where did you purchase the iPhone and was it sold unlocked or did you get a previous carrier to unlock it? And are you using a SIM from a carrier that officially supports the iPhone?
    People will need much more specific information about your issue before anyone can offer suggestions.
    Regards.

  • HT201328 I am going to India, the ATT says the is unlocked and follow the procedure back up,erase,insert new sim,restore.  Is it that simple?  Will there be any problem when igo to India with local SIM card?  How to find out compatibility of local SIM car

    I am going to India.  ATT says phone is unlocked.  Can I use local SIM card to use my i phone5?  Will there be any compatibility problem.

    If AT&T authorized your unlock, you received the email from them giving you instructions to unlock and you followed those instructions, followed by a message in iTunes saying Congratulations, your iPhone is now unlocked, then you will have no issues using a local SIM. However, your warranty is only good in the US, and it may not support all of the bands in India, especially LTE.
