If I buy an IPhone 6 in USA and then want to use it here will it work? Obviously I will buy an australia SIM card... Any tips?
A Family friend lives in new york and wants to buy me and iphone 6 as a present, if he does willl i be able to use it here (obviously I will buy and Australian sim card)?
thanks
In other words, we don't know. At present, Apple does not sell unlocked iPhones 6 and 6plus. Some say that T-Mobile will unlock it, but why take a chance? You will have no warranty in Australia...the phone must be returned to the US for service. You also don't know for sure if it will work in Australia. Get the Apple store gift card.

I want to if my iphone 5 wich i buyet from usa well work out saide usa
This is my phone serial number f2ljdxcef8h5 can you chick if i can use it from other network out of usa
Thank youHi,
thanks for your answers.
The reason why I am trying to get iphone from verizon is because if you buy unlocked Iphone from Apple it is model A1428 and I need A1429 CDMA (uses LTE frequencies that are mostly used around the world). I would buy A1429 GSM but it can be bought only outside US. I have read that A1429 can also be used on GSM without problem.
I was just wonderign if someone knows do I cancel my contract without even inserting verizon sim and activating, or do I need to first insert VZW sim, activate the phone and than after can I cancel my contract.
@kaebfly- I have understood I can cancel contract within 14 days of activation and without returning the phone just pay 350 ETF and the phone is mine.
@21stNow - do you think I have to wait to cancel contract after 14 days?
@ both- when you say off contract do you mean VZW on month-to-month base or unlocked iphone from apple? If you think of later than the reason is the phone model.

I have an iPhone from the USA but i want to use it in Ireland. If i get an irish phone plan and number, will it work?
It depends on whether it is a model that supports the proper bands for the provider inIreland and whether it is not locked to a carrier in the US.

Well, there is nothing anyone here can do for you. Did you actually purchase it at an Apple Store, or at another retailer like BestBuy, HH Gregg, a mall kiosk, T-Mobile, AT&T, etc?
The ONLY source for unlocked iPhones in the US is Apple. If you purchased it anywhere other than at an Apple Store, you purchased a locked phone.
You can call AppleCare and give them the serial number of the phone to confirm the status of the lock. -
My iPhone is from Japan and I want to activate it here in the Philippines because I'm living here. I have lost the original SIM from Softbank and replaced it with a new SIM card from Globe. How can I use the SIM card from Globe?
You cannot. The iPhone is locked to Softbank, and only they can unlock it. Problem is that Softbank will NOT unlock the phone, as they do not offer iPhone unlocking.
Buy an iPhone in the Phillipines.
PS Before you go on a rant at Apple, be aware that Apple does NOT unlock phones and they do not set unlocking policies. The carriers (Softbank in this case) set the unlocking policy. -
I have already bought a macbook pro in USA and I want to use it in Europe. What adapter I need for my Airport Extreme?
No power adaptor is needed as the power units are auto-switching. But you will need wall outlet adaptors such as you will find in Apple's World Travel Kit, at AAA stores, and other vendors.

After I have been talking on my iPhone 6 for awhile and then want to go to speaker phone, I cannot find the speaker icon. Any help?
Here's the situation. I received a text while I was talking on the phone. Went right to text, then could not get back to the screen. After trial and error, I discovered a little green message at the top of the phone that said "Touch to return to call". Problem solved.

With iTunes 10 and iOS 5 synchronizing my iPhone (3GS) via USA and Wifi does not stop in the last step. Runs for hours. Even canceling takes forever.
iPad2 sync is fine.
Any ideas to solve it?This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.
The other users like yourself here are not going to be able to help you with this problem.

Bought iPhone 4 from colleague and I want to use it in India
Hello Community Members,
I have recently travelled to Colorado for a project and my colleague bought iPhone 5, so I just happen to ask him to sell me his iPhone 4, so he did. Now, I have purchased this iPhone 4 from him. It's an A1332 model. So I know, it's a GSM phone. So my questions what is procedure to use (or make it work) in India?
Do I have to jailbrake or unlock it? Or just by inserting an Indian GSM SIM card (of course, cutting to micro SIM size), will it start working out of the box?
Thank you people for your reply in advance.If your colleague purchased the iPhone as officially unlocked or had it unlocked by AT&T, it should work with any compatible carrier. If it was purchased locked to AT&T, they will have to unlock it. Here are AT&T's official requirements and procedure for unlocking an iPhone:

I want to buy Iphone 4S or Iphone 5 from USA and ship it to South Africa, will i have carrier problems?
If you buy a phone from Apple online from USA you must have a credit card with a US address and have it shipped to that same address. If you chose a carrier it will be locked to that carrier. You must buy an UNLOCKED phone to use outside of the US, for the unsubsidized price. For unlocked phones you don't need to choose a carrier. the iPhone 5 is not yet available unlocked; only the 4S is sold as unlocked by Apple.
If you buy from the US Apple site you must return it to the US for warranty service.
LTE is the "next generation" cellular network standard. It is supported in the US by Verizon and AT&T. -
Where can I buy a mini-sim card for my iphone 5 in Norway or Denmark or France?
where can I buy a mini-sim card for my iphone 5 in Norway or Denmark or France?
This original post is mine
I wanted to clarify that Verizon has unlocked the phone for me before I left the US
The international sim cards that I have been able to locate in Norway are caled Mycall or Lebour.
They are labled mini-sim cards but do not fit nor are they as small as the original Verizon one.
I am out in the country-side now but will be in Bergen, Norway and Copenhagen, Denmark over the next few days.
Thanks in advance for any help. -

I bought Ebey NEW Boxed (NEVER OPENED) 16GB Black Iphone 5 Virgin Mobile (USA) NO CONTRACT, want to use it in Europe, particularly in Ukraine, but for some reason now my phone does not see the Ukrainian GSM sim card. Please help to solve this problem.
Return it and get your money back. Virgin does not offer official unlocking, thus there's no way to get the phone officially unlocked for you to use it.
Sorry, but you wasted your money.
