I've heard Verizon iPhone doesn't work well globally?

I've heard the verizon iPhone doesnt have good international capabilities.  I travel to Europe frOm time to time and need a phone that has good coverage there

I found this using Google. Didn't read it. But I am sure Verizon and Apple are working on it.

  • The headphone jack on my new Verizon iPhone doesn't work.  What can I do?

    I bought an iPhone 4 from Verizon's website two weeks ago.  This morning I plugged in the headphones for the first time and there appears to be a short or bad contacts or something.  Sometimes partial audio will come through (distant and mono) and other times the iPhone wouldn't recognize the headphones at all and play through the speaker.  It acts exactly like the drawerful of cheap old Walkmans I have whos jacks have worn out.  I've tried six different pairs of headphones--three of which are stock Apple earbuds--all with the same result.
    I'm headed out of town for several long trips in the next few weeks and really can't be without a phone (and would prefer one that I can listen too!)  Will my local Verizon store replace it, or will the Apple store?  The Verizon store is much easier to get to (tho the Apple store has much nicer staff...) but either option would be preferred over mailing it back and waiting for a new one or waiting to get the problem fixed. 
    What should I do?

    In case anyone is having the same problem, I thought I'd post an update.  I realized there was an Apple store on my way home from the trip I was leaving for so I decided to stop in.  I waited 20 minutes for the next Genius so I wandered the mall and played with the iPad.  No big deal.  It took less than ten minutes for the person helping me to confirm there was a problem and swap the iPhone for a new one and send me on my way.  I got home, connected it to iTunes and restored from the last backup (after uploading the photos I'd taken since then to my Mobileme account!).  No problem whatsoever.
    I'm really glad I decided to go that route instead of taking it to Verizon. 
    It's been two months and I've not had a single problem since.

    No, you do not.  It simply is not possible to have a device that does not exist.
    Most likely, you have an iPhone 4.  There is no 4G iPhone.

    Yes, it does work.  It is carrier locked to AT&T, just like all GSM iPhones sold in the US since their introduction.

    You can use the phone as it is, but it will be very expensive with AT&T international roaming plans.
    There is no official way to unlock the phone for use with another carrier.
    Your options:
    Sell the device and purchase one intended for use in your country.
    Find unofficial method to unlock
    Use as an iPod Touch.
    No one here can provide you with assistance on getting you AT&T locked iPhone to work on another carrier.

  • HT4623 Landscape feature on iphone doesn't work after OS 7 download.  HELP.

    The landscape feature on iphone doesn't work after OS 7 download.  How do i fix it?!

    Swipe up from the bottom.  Control center should cover about 2/3 of the screen.  At the top right of control center is a circle with a lock in it.  If that lock is closed, tap to open it.

  • After last update my iphone doesn't work as a USB modem anymore

    Hi,
    I installed some softwareupdate to my MacBook Air today - and now my iPhone doesn't work as a USB modem anymore. Connecting via Wifi works. But this drains too much batteries - and USB usually works more consistant for me (and it connects a lot faster). What can I do?

    Hi Sonja

  • Why the bluetooth function on the iPad (4th Gen) doesn't work well to pair either with my PC (Windows7) or iPhone4 running on iOS7 ?

    Why is it that my iPad(4th Gen) doesn't pair either with PC ( Windows7) or iPhone4 (running iOS7)?
    The search for the devices on turning Bluetooth is eternal and the activity ring keeps swirling for ever to leave frustrated.

    I'm sorry but Bluetooth on iPad/iPhone doesn't work as you'd expect it too, particularly if you've used Nokia or other brands in the past.  Bluetooth on iPad/iPhone will only allow you to add other devices such as keyboards or headsets.

    I just downlouded the latest version of the Muse CC and it doesn't work well, it freezes all the time, in particular with the tools. Example the selection tool doesn't wor at all. Is there any solution for this problem?

    Hi!
    I restarted the computer, but the same issue happens again. When I move my mouse over some object or tool, it doesn’t come active at all (only some of the tools works) When I try to change “site properties”, I can’t choose tablet or phone mode or even I can’t select the checkboxes, only thing what I can do is change the numbers (high and width) . After all the main problem is that I can’t select some of the items or functions by mouse, but only by the keyboard.

  • Audio out port doesn't work well

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch, Early 2011. Since I bought it I always use my Mac whit headphones, but since a month it only works well the left headphone. I think that the problem it was my headphones but no, because I used it on my phone and workes well. So i come to the conclusion that the audio out port doesn't work well. What you think? And what you recommend to me to fix this problem?

    Probably still under warranty, but not for long. Take it to the Apple Store or AASP to have it checked ASAP.

  • Urgent - Upgraded Form doesn't works well with values saved by previous ver

    Hi all,
    Form i m working on has changed many times due to change in requirments.
    Everytime i do addition in old form, it doesn't works well be data saved by older versions.
    e.g.
    Current Version that i have upgraded fetchs the data well from database on query. But when i save it, clear or exit the form and then re-query that data, it doesn't show up instead meassage comes that query caused no records to be fetched.
    i checked at database level, data is there.
    and when i tried to call data from old form, it also refused to show it (data that was previously entered by itself but then saved by new form).
    what could be the problem and i can i resolve it.
    plz note that in all of this process, there are no database level changes, only form level changes.
    regards,
    yasir

    sounds like spaces are being padded at the end of the data
    check the length of the values you've changed in sqlplus and see if they are indeed right padded

  • Sun one server 6.0 doesn't work well with explorer

    We've sun one server 6.0 sp4 running in a sparc server as SSL server and too as common server on port 80. The most our clients , 95%, are explorer browser users.
    The server has known bugs with SSL3 , interoperatibility with MSIE problem 532427. The solutions suggested in the server documentation don't work. We tryed the solutions suggested many times and in few time we got complaints from clients, people get "this page can't be displayed". I had to set the server to work with SSL2 only , althought security's reports tell that this protocol is not safe.
    The second bug is concern the latencies loading pages with explorer. I apply the solution suggested, KeepAliveQueryMeanTime 1, it doesn't work well too. We don't feel the latencies on new machines or light browsers as avant , but we still feel these latencies with old machines or if the users uses modem. A lot of people still see very strong latencies.
    I feel the server wasn't tested enough with explorer browser , it has so many compatibility problems with this browser.I think for the most webmasters the perfect compatibility with explorer is very important.
    We payed for this server and it is worst than apache ,apache group fixed the SSL problem long time ago. Only one thing we need doesn't work well in apache then we contenue to use sun one server. But this diference is not enough to justify the use of this server if sun don't fix these problems. I'm talking about problems they exist more than 1 year, they were when i installed the server then i contenue to work with iplanet 4.1 and SSL2. I read the new version server characteristics, version 6.1 , i didn't find anything telling that these problems were fixed.

  • TS3367 facetime doesn't work well after upgrading to ios8. I need to make a call several times to connect.

    Facetime doesn't work well after upgrading to ios8.
    When I make a facetime call, it doesn't sound some times on the other side.
    When it rings on the other side and is answered, it says (connecting), but it is still ringing on my side and never connected.
    After that, I disconnect and make a second call, it sometimes connects, but not everytime.
    I need to call several times to connect. It is really hard to connect through facetime after upgrading to ios8.
    I purchased three iPad so far because of this good feature (facetime).
    Please fix this issue as soon as possible.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    There are two easy fixes to this.
    One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
    Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
    Hope this helps!

    Gmail doesn't work well on my ipad, it gets hung all the time. Can you kindly help me?

    You probably want to start by updating your OS, if your information is correct and you are still running 5.1.1. You may also want to try the Gmail app. I find it works very well.
