Yes, if you have purchased an unlocked phone or have had your CARRIER unlock your phone.

I'm traveling to Europe (France and Lithuania) with my iPhone 5s. I would like to buy a local SIM card for use while in each country. Some sources (Verizon phone support) say this is as easy as buying the card and inserting in place in the slot. Others (Apple Genius) say I must completely restore the iPhone if I replace the sim card. Still others say I cannot use a local sim card. Can you help me find the correct information? Thanks for your help.
That's a wonderful question, ssmiley67. The iPhone 5s comes unlock for international use. Many of our LTE devices are unlocked for international purposes and work upon inserting the international SIM in the device.

I have an existing 2 year verizon wireless plan, really want an iphone 6 and dont mind paying the 650. If i purchase an unlocked iphone 6 from apple online can i just transfer the sim card from my current phone (iphone 5s) to the unlocked iphone 6 and itll work?
Thank you!If you purchase an unlocked phone from Apple, it will cost you $650 and it will only partially work on Verizon's network. So, your better off buying a phone at full retail from Verizon for the same $650. It will function properly and, as all Verizon iPhones are sold with the GSM side unlocked, you'll be able to use it on other networks later.

Can I get an Ipad with wifi and cellular but no contract with a carrier in the US? I want to use it overseas in Africa with a local SIM card and use the cellular signal for all my internet.
Yes you can. All Ipad's are unlocked and can be used any where in the world. Buy the AT&T version which is GSM in other countries

Travelling to U.S. with unlocked iPhone... Suggestions for SIM card use?
I have an unlocked iPhone 3G and will be in the U.S. for 3 weeks.
I would like to have all available 3G services while visiting, but could settle for text and voice.
Where can I find a prepaid SIM that will work with my iPhone?
Thanks much!There shouldn't be any issues using a pre-paid SIM card from another provider with an unlocked iPhone, but I have no experience with doing so. Your only other option is signing a contract with AT&T.
There is an easy way to find out. Purchase a pre-paid SIM card at an AT&T store. If there is a problem using the pre-paid SIM card while you are at the AT&T store and they are unable to resolve it, return the card and get your money back. -

I have bought an I pad Air 128 with cellular connection.I travel a lot and will need to insert various cellular providers sim cards in the countries i visit. Will these various sim cards work in the I pad Air or is the i pad locked?
Hello, no ice.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
As long as you purchase the GSM model and acquire a Nano-SIM card, you should be able to use your iPad abroad. Here is some information about this process that you may find helpful.

I am traveling to India with my new iPad...to enable me to be online 24hrs a day to access my emails...do I just need a local sim card...also can I use a normal adaptor to plug in to charge or am I best paying for the apple universal kit....
If you have the AT&T 3G iPad then you can explore the SIM card. I'm not sure if India has the SIM network or another type. REgardless you should be able to access wifi.
HOnestly, if I were traveling I'd get a plug adapter from a normal retail store. You can get a good one for $20 or less at your local retailer, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, probably KMart though I've not looked for them there. Best Buy and the office supply stores may also have them. You don't have to pay for the official one unless you want to. (I have 'over the counter' plug adapters so if I traveled I'd use what I have not buy another) -
I HAVE A PREPAID PHONE AS I GO. WHEN I TRAVEL TO MALAYSIA, I AM GOING TO BRING THIS PHONE WITH ME. CAN I BUY SIMS CARD OVER THERE AND ASK THE SELLER TO PUT IN MINUTES FOR ME? WHO CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION?
That sounds like a great trip urgent! Ann154 asked a great question. Please share which prepaid device you have. 3G Prepaid Phone in a Box (PIB) is restricted for use with prepaid service for 6 consecutive months after activation, and is locked to the VZW network for 12 months after activation.
• After 6 consecutive months, the restriction to prepaid service is automatically removed.
• After 12 months, customers can dial *611 from their VZW prepaid phones or 888-294-6804, to receive the programming code to unlock their phones.
• Non-PIB prepaid devices are not locked, but may require a program code to use with another carrier - typically "000000" or "123456." Sim lock does not apply to any VZW 4G LTE device with global roaming capabilities. These devices are able to be used with a third party local sim card without any additional steps to unlock the device. Thank you.

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. -
When legally ipad2 with 3G would be available in Thailand? Can I buy it from US and use it with 3G operator in Thailand?
The iPad 2 is available in Thailand now, though I don't know whether you can find one it stock. The iPad 2 continues to be in short supply everywhere in the world. A US iPad with GSM 3G should be able to work with any carrier worldwide that offers GSM service and a suitable data plan. You'll need to be sure you purchase the AT&T version of the iPad if you purchase in the US, NOT the Verizon version which uses a different cell technology.
This has been asked and answered in these forums multiple times already, by the way. A quick search or browse of the forums and you would not have had to wait for a response.

Can I buy a new ipd that takes a sim card to use with my local carrier? They only sell the ipad 2.
Can I buy a new iPad that uses a sim card to use with my local carrier? They only offer the iPad 2 for sale.
A quick Google search shows Union Wireless is GSM. Buy the AT&T version (GSM) iPad. You don't have to purchase iPad 2. You can purchase the newer iPad from Apple or Best Buy, or even Walmart. In either case, you get a micro sim from Union Wireless, purchase a data plan and enjoy.........
