If I buy an iPad with 4g at an Apple store, does it come unlocked?

I was told by an Apple representative at their 800 number, that if I buy an iPad 3 with wifi and 4g, that it comes unlocked and I can use any GSM sim card in it for data. Can someone verify this?

Sort of.  If you purchase an AT&T version in the USA you can only use AT&T in the USA. You can use other carriers outside the USA. If you purchase the Verizon one in the USA, you can only use Verizon in the USA. you can use the a SIM with other carrieries outside the USA.

    Hi ...
    If you mean the balance from iTunes Gift cards or certificates, no.
    You need to have a credit or debit card on file with Apple.

    I am planning to buy Refurbished iPad with cellular, but it says iPad for AT&T.. And I want to put other SIM card in that since I want to use it internationally... So Is it possible to put other SIM in it?

    If you can wait, you don't need one and lose nothing by waiting.

    If you have 4.3 on the phone, and your carrier supports it, you can use the phone as a wi-fi HotSpot

    They may be purchased unlocked at full price. But whether you can use them in Brazil depends on whether you have GSM service there.
    Note that if you buy in the US then any warranty work will require you to bring the device to the US for service. The US warranty is only good in the US, not in Brazil. You would be better off buying it in Brazil which will also save you duty and import taxes plus US sales tax.

  • My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones.  she now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phoneand not loose any contacts or songs?

    My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones (2 phones both are 5s) .  She now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phone so that is the same as the ipad and not loose any contacts or songs?

    Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?
    Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
    Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.
    If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.
    If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
    If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup.

  • I want to buy a wifi 3G iPad 2 from the US apple store and get a relative to bring it down to Sri Lanka. Does it come unlocked for other cellular carriers or is it restricted and needs to be unlocked?

    Hi I want to buy a WIFI+3G iPad 2 from the US apple store and get it shipped to a relative in the US to bring it down to Sri Lanka. My question is, is the iPad 2 unlocked to be used with any carrier worldwide or will i have to unlock it myself? Or is there any way to purchase a iPad 2 without selecting a specific US carrier?
    Thanks,
    Milinda

    iPads bought in the US are not locked to a carrier, but only the AT&T version uses micro-sim cards - the Verizon model is CDMA based and doesn't use sim cards, so for that reason is effectively locked. With the AT&T version you should be able to just swap in a local micro-sim - you don't have to activate a service with AT&T

  • If I buy an Imac in the online Apple store, would it come with Lion OS X?

    If I buy an Imac in the online Apple store, would it come with Lion OS X?

    Yes you will.
    I believe if you'd bought one before the release of Lion you'd also get a free upgrade from Snow Leopard (or at least this used to be the case for people that bought a Leopard machine the month before Snow Leopard came out).

  • I bought a ipad mini online from the apple store. His battery doesn't last more than 6h. I return it back to them they send me a new one, but the problem is same. Battery doesn't last more than 5-6h!

    I have purchased a iPad mini online from the Apple store. Since day one I had 2 issues with it. First is that the battery life doesn't last more than 5-6h active usage, and the second one is with the wi-fi. It works properly but after I leave it for a while in sleep mode and try to reuse it, it doesn't want to open a web page or app store or mail (anything connected with the internet search) but it shows that is properly connected with my home network. So I have to turn off the wi-fi connection and turn it on again so it start to work properly. After couple off days this becomed very annoying so I contacted the support via phone and they gave me instructions for return it and that I'll receive a new one without aditional fee. I get the second device in the predicted time but again I have the same issues with the wi-fi and battery life. I will be pleased if someone from the Apple expert team explaine to me what should I do, because I dont find it for normal what is happening. On the Apple official site under the specifications for iPad mini it says that the battery lasts for at least 10h and the wi-fi problem isn't mentioned anywhere. Thanks in advance.

    This is a user to user forum. No one here is an employee or representative of Apple.
    If you want someone from Apple to explain what you should do make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one near you and take your iPad there and talk to Apple. If no Apple store is close enough then call Apple to find out what your alternatives are. There is a Contact Info link at the bottom of every page in this forum.
