I received a gift card from another country

I received a gift card from Belgium, I can't redeem the voucher
HELP!

No, you can't. Send it back to the giver with thanks and tell them that gift cards can only be used in the country where they were originally sold.

App/itunes gift card from another country

Hi
For Christmas I was given an app/itunes gift card by a friend, the card was purchased in italy. Now I have just tried to enter the code and guess what? it tells me i cannot redeem it cos my store is Uk not Italy. If i try to change it to Italy it tells me I have to register with an italian bank account and address. How is this possible that i cant use an apple card on the apple store??? is there anyway to change this??? i have to say this is truly ridiculous...
any suggestions are welcome...

OK you have 2 options lets say for example you live in the UK and the iTunes card is from the USA.
option 1) go to eBay and sell the card to someone in the USA.
option 2) use the itunes card.
if option 2 you will need to use the following steps
1) Move to the USA <------- This is just so you are following Apples rules ;-)
2) you will need a USA iTunes account, now that you live there so make a new Apple ID. To do this go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US and the 1st thing you are going to want to do is go to the bottom of the page and make sure that next to "Choose Your Country or Regin" you have the US flag (or what ever flag matches the place you just moved to to use the card) if it doesnt then click on it and change it. Put in all info to setup the account, (if for some reason you cant remember the address of the place you just moved into then use google maps). if you dont get an option to make an iCloud email address then you can make a Gmail account and use that as your new Apple ID.
3) you have now moved and made a new iTunes account you can now use your gift card. You will have access to the content in your new country and it will be at their prices.
4) if you want content from both accounts, I assume you already have content purchased from your old account then login to your iTunes/iPhone/iPad with 1 account and download what you own then logout and login with your second account.
enjoy and good luck getting your green card, hopefully the place the iTunes card came form is nice ;-)

HT5622 Redeeming Gift Cards from another country?

My daughter has been given an Apple gift cert bought in Ireland but her ID is UK store based, it states that she needs a new ID to use the Ireland store front. Which she moved to but it asked her to set up a new ID. If she has two ID's surely she will have two sets of music in two different locations?
Any ideas on how she can redeem this inot her UK iTunes ID so she can manage her music & videos in one location?
Thanks

- You can only use the iTunes/App store in the country you are located. An iTunes gift card can only be redeemed in the same country's store in which the card was purchased.
- If she is in Ireland then shed can redeem the card into her existing account.existing . However, if she still has a balance for the UK store she has to remove that balance before she can change country store and redeem the Ireland card.

HT2309 I need info on how to use a SIM card from another country to have service on iPhone 4 & 5 while traveling

I need to know any problems I might have getting a SIM card in another country and swapping it w current card in my iPhones (4 and 5).
Need both phone and internet access while there. My carrier has no service (verizon)
Also assume all apps and data on phones will still work?

The GSM section of your Verizon iPhone 5 is unlocked and will work with any nano-SIM card.
Not all iPhone features such as FaceTime, iMessage, visual voicemail, etc, may work if using a carrier that doesn't support iPhones. If using an unofficial carrier, you may need to enter APN settings to get cell data. LTE may not be compatable.

Can you transfer a gift card from one country to another?

I used to live in New Zealand and a friend gave me a $50 gift card before I left as a going-away present. I currently live in the United States and am unable to use this gift card. Is there any way I could transfer the 50 New Zealand dollars into the equivalent amount of United States dollars (about 41 US dollars)? I would not like to see $50 go to waste.
Is there any way at all for me to use this money?

Gift Cards are only valid in Country of issue.

Why can't I use a gift card from other country? :(

My friend bought me a gift card and sent it to me. I try to activate it but it say "can use only in that country"
That's mean it not activate in Thailand. Then we try to do the other way....by sent that app as a gift.
But still the same...because it was sent from other country :(
I think Apple brand is very popular for international. I would like to see it as an international thing.
By make it work or no limited for that.
Because when people want to send a good thing to their friends or family they will not worry about this point.
But still...I would to see it work soon :)
Siri

Ok thank you very much....just wonder why :)
Actually just feel pity of the gift card because that a lot and my friend can't get it back also..
Anyway thank you for you suggestion. :)

Pay Balance with anothe card from another country

I used to live in USA and used my account from USA card during my Intership Program and now I don't have balance at this card and I still need top pay some downloads. How can I pay with another card?

If you're trying to purchase from the US store, you need to be physically located in the US, & if using a credit card, the credit card must have a verified billing address located in the US. You could use an iTunes gift card, but the card must have originated in the US, & you must still be located in the US.
There is no workaround.

Can I redeem a gift card from the country I am in even though my account country is different?

Gift cards to another country?

Hello
I want to send a gift to the son of a friend in Denmark (I live in Italy). Is there anyway that this can be done?
I can only purchase vouchers usable on the Italian store and this is totally useless to a Danish teenager!
Is it really possible that I cannot purchase a gift voucher redeemable in another country?
help!
