I would like to buy and iPhone without a contract.

I want to buy an iPhone for my wife, who wants and deserves one. To keep phone bills low, I would like to use it with a google phone number, and power it only with a wifi hotspot. Can just buy and iphone and use just the wifi, or is there some kind of block requiring me to use a cell provider?

You want an mobile hotspot, right?
The best way is:
Search for a iphone like on ebay, google or other websites, but remember it must already be unlocked (Available from factory is the best, because then it's unlocked by an user he made a jailbreak on the device and that's not good for updates).
After that, you have to search for a mobile hotspot data plan and a good Wlan-Router.
Then you have got everything, give the router a very good password, there are many wlan hacker and they wait for a easy useable wlan network!
(You can insert the data Sim card, then you activate the iphone for your wife )

I would like to buy an iPhone for my friend in Iceland. Two questions: will the phone work with complete utility in Iceland, and if so, what should I do to confirgure it while in the USA so that it can have full utility in Iceland?

Bad idea. There are no supported iPhone carriers in Iceland, thus some features may or may not work. Further, there will be no warranty or support for a US purchased iPhone in Iceland...your friend will be on their own. If you still want to go down this road, make sure you purchase an officially unlocked iPhone(GSM model) directly from Apple.

I would like to buy a iPhone 4 unlocked from USA and take it with me to use it in Norway where I live is it gone work there? Thanks Melody

Unlocked means unlocked, so yes.
But, support and namely warranty coverage may not be available for you in Norway or anywhere but in the US with any iPhone purchased in the US, even an unlocked iPhone purchased in the US.

I would like to buy the iPhone from the States but...

I would like to buy the iPhone from the States but I am from Canada. Is it possible for me to buy a no-contract iPhone 4 from Apple in USA, and bring it back to Canada to use it? Does it come with the micro-sim? I believe it is locked to AT&T but is it possible to unlock the iPhone at all?
Also, pre-ordering. Does Apple ship to a US P.O Box? And if so, would it arrive around June 24th as well? When pre-ordering, would it be mandatory for me to sign up for an AT&T plan as well (even if it's not a data plan)?
Thanks in advance!

Also, pre-ordering. Does Apple ship to a US P.O Box?
No. Someone must accept and sign for the delivery.
Wait until the iPhone 4 is available in Canada, or will it be available in Canada at the same time?
Regardless and as already provided, the iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T only and AT&T does not unlock an iPhone for any reason under any circumstances.

I would like to buy an iphone 4s but I prefer it with ios6, if I buy it now from stores in USA does come with this ios6I would like to buy an iphone 4s but I prefer it with ios6, if I buy it now from stores in USA does come with this ios6

Typicaly, devices liek this are loaded witht he production software at the time that they are manufactured. If you buy a unit built before the release of IOS6, you will have IOS5. Once the evice has been boxed up, it won't be touched before sale.
If you buy the iPhone from an Apple store, you can ask them to help with the IOS6 install.
But I have a question for you. Why do you say that "ios6 built with iphone when we buy it better than the uodated one" ? It may be easier to not have to do the install but why better?

I WOULD LIKE TO BUY 2 EACH WITHOUT CONTRACT , BECAUSE I LIVE IN KSA ( Mini ipad )

I HAVE AN ADDRESS LINE1 & LINE 2 , I WOULD LIKE TO BUY 2 EACH MINI IPAD WITHOUT CONRACT , BECAUSE I LIVE IN SAUDI ARABIA .

There is no contract on iPads. You may want to check the type of supported networks and frequencies.

Are there any discount for apple? I would like to buy the iphone 5s without contract but it seems too expensive

is there any way to get a discount on an iphone 5s ,esp one bought without contract?

The only discounts are through the carriers themselves, in exchange for you agreeing to a contract term. It's not really a discount as much as it is simply distributing the cost of the phone over the period of the contract - the carriers still make their money on the phone in the end.
Its not unlike T-Mobiles new update anytime or AT&T's new deal - pay the whole price upfront and never have a contract, or effectively (with AT&T) finance the price of the phone over a year's worth of payments. No matter how you slice it, you still end up, one way or another, paying essentially the full retail price of the phone.
(I particularly dislike T-Mobile's current ads - anyone with any carrier could always upgrade "whenever they want" as long as they paid rull retail price for the handset - nothing at all new with T-Mobile's latest "deal").

Would like to buy and share a unlimited world subs...

I would like to get a unlimited world subscription to share with my husband when he deploys and to call my family back in the states. My question is could my husband use the same subscription or do we have to buy 2 unlimited world? If I call my family then he tries to call me will the call still go through?
Hope I didn't confuse you to much haha
thanks,
Jen

Hi Jen,
Subscriptions are linked to Skype accounts and Skype accounts are not meant for sharing
As Skype to Skype calls are free you can make free Skype to Skype calls(including video calls) if you and your husband are both online at the same time.
If this is not possible and you or your husband needs to call phone numbers then both accounts need a separate subscription on each account.
Note. Subscription needs to cover only calling destination, if you call only US then it makes sense to get subscription that covers US not world subscription that covers 41 countries.

Is it possible to buy an iphone without being locked to AT&T?

I'm currently living in Brazil and would like to buy an iphone from the states because it's a lot cheaper and use it with a local carrier, but I don't know if I can buy a iphone 4 that's not locked to AT&T. Anybody have any ideas?

If you have a non-US address, most likely. Please search also, as this has been asked.

I would like to know if iphone 5 GSM model A1429 unlocked is available in stores in the US in order to buy and use in Europe

I would like to know if iphone 5 GSM model A1429 is unlocked and is available in stores in the US in order to buy and use in Europe. Please let me know.
Thanks

Not officially for sale in the US, at the present time, although Apple's flagship store on 5th Ave, in New York City, gets supplies from time-to-time. However, no GSM US model iPhone 5 will support LTE anywhere other than North America. It will not support LTE in Europe. If you want LTE support in Europe, you need to purchase your phone in Europe.

I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and back

I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and backing up data wirelessly via time machine.
I have a Mac Pro, iPhone 6, iPad, Apple TV and Time Capsule. No home Internet.
Is is possible to have my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot used to provide Internet to my wifi network on time capsule? Has anyone else had success doing this? I'm not a tech head and really know very little about things like this. Thanks. Jen

You can have a go using a wireless bridge.. eg the airport express will do this.. you can join it to the iphone wireless running as a hotspot.. and then plugged into the TC wan port.. the TC has to be setup in router mode.. so this is going to give you double NAT errors.. and of course errors for all the time the hotspot is turned off.. but it can work. However you might find it requires you to manually connect up each time.. If you are really going to try and do this you will manage it.. but how fiddly it becomes might put you off after a week.
You will chew up your 5GB very fast using any streaming media even radio. So be very careful to track the usage.
Apple should have built in the TC the ability to plug in a wireless 3G modem.. via the USB but Apple have ceased to do adventurous stuff.
If you give up the TC as main router there are plenty of better products on the market that will handle multiple wan connections.. !!

Hi, I have a new laptop and would like to syncronise my iphone with iTunes (which I have installed again). But my old laptop has died so I could not transfer any media files, etc. Can I simply connect my iPhone to the laptop without any data being lost?

Language change is no problem, you can switch to anything in the tech specs.

I would like to buy my boyfriend the iphone 5. He has an upgrade - but can I purchase it for Christmas now and get money back when he activates and uses his upgrade?

Or purchase an Apple Gift Card for him to use to get a phone at Apple after Christmas. He gets the card as the Christmas gift and can go get the phone himself. It would cost you the same amount of money.

I would like to buy and iPhone without a contract.
