If I buy an iPhone from the Apple website, and then go to Verizon to activate it, will it reset my 2 year contract? Also, will Verizon charge extra for activating since the price on Verizon is higher than the Apple website's price?

It's all very confusing to me, I need some answers from experienced customers.

I already checked. I purchased my iPhone 3G on the launch date back in July '08. I've paid the bill the day my bill was issued, days ahead of its due date, and for some reason, even through it's magic 8-ball wisdom, said I was not eligible for and upgrade. Not till Dec. of this year at least.
So even though my phone is now technically 'mine' and off their contract, they still won't unlock it for me? How come?

    You can buy a factory unlocked on direct from Apple sim free, make sure you get the right one and not just a contract free one.  I am sure  one of our US members will be able to give you the price.

  • If i buy an iphone from the iphone store will it already be set up to a carrier?

    If i buy an iphone from the iphone store will it already be set up to a carrier?
    So my mom knocked her iPhone 4 into the washer a while back and I was on her Verizon plan and switched to my boyfriends straight talk plan and got a Samsung Centra. So I called the Apple store and they said it'd only be $149 to fix it. And all I would do is bring it in and pay my money and they'd give me a brand new one. What service would it be hooked up to? Or would it be hooked up to one? And Would I need to buy a straight talk card and then set it up to his credit card or do i just call and set it up to his credit card and take money out or what?

    Under the out of warranty replacement program, you get an iPhone identical to the one you are replacing...same color, same storage capacity, locked to the same carrier if it is carrier specific.  You will have to activate it for use with Verizon just like it was done with the old iPhone.

  • If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

    If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

    If you purchase an unlocked iPhone it will work on any supported gsm network.
    Just FYI, apple will not ship outside the country in which the device is purchased. A device purchased in the Hong Kong website must have a shipping and billing address in Hong Kong.
    Also, warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.

  • Hi, I just wanted to buy two iphones from the apple store usa with a lebanese credit card. Is it possible?

    Hi, I just wanted to buy two iphones from the apple store usa with a lebanese credit card. Is it possible?

    The US Apple Store accepts US-issued credit cards only. And they will ship only to a US address. Whether or not a physical Apple Store would accept a Lebanese credit card I don't know.
    Regards.

  • I want to buy an iPhone from the apple store is it work in the Middle East

    Hello I live in Saudi Arabia and I would like to buy an iphone from your website ( the store ). I only wanted to ask is it work in the Middle East ?

    Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
    Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
    Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases!  It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'!

  • If I buy my iPhone from the apple website can it work in other countries, if I buy my iPhone 5 from the apple website can it work in other countries

    I have not yet bought the phone but I am wondering if I can put other SIM cards from abroad into it and how can I get a message engraved in it

    You can only put other sims in if you purchase an unlocked iPhone.  If you buy one that is subsidized it is locked to a carrier and can only accept other sim cards if it is a Verizon iPhone...Verizon uses the CDMA radio, the GSM radio is unlocked.

  • When i buy an iphone from the store does it work normaly outside the US ?

    I am planning to come for holidays in the US
    I want to buy the Iphone 5 from apple store
    Is it unlock ?
    Does it work outside the US ?
    Please advise

    You can purchase the unlocked iPhone 5 from the Apple store. They are the only one that sells he unlocked iPhone 5. However, you need to find out if your carrier is supported and what frequencies they use. Otherwise it might not support all of the features of the iPhone 5. Also, the warranty is not international, you would have to return to the US for service.

  • If I buy an iPhone from the Apple store do I have to be eligible for upgrade under AT

    I really need to know ASAP. I have an iPhone 4 right now but I'm not eligible for upgrade until next May and I was wondering because the site doesn't say anything about upgrades, it just says to click which GB plan you want and which server you're under.

    You can buy whatever you want so long as you can pay for it. If you're not eligible for an upgrade, you'll just have to pay full price for the phone, that's all.

  • Why can't i buy iphone from the usa website?

    i've been trying to buy an iphone from the usa website as a gift to my sister who lives there... but it doesn't accept my postcode.. is it not possible to buy an iphone from uk?

    Nope. You need a verified billing/shipping address in the US to use the US store. Same reason someone from the US couldn't use the UK store.

  • If I buy an unlocked iphone from the usa, will it be compatable in the uk?

    I would like to buy an Iphone from the USA but am concerned that I will not be able to use it in the UK. Can anyone confirm if this is possible and if there is anything I will need to do?

    The officially unlocked GSM version will work fine. But why on earth do you want to do this? The iPhone warranty is not a true international warranty, thus you most likely won't have any warranty & support in the UK for a US purchased iPhone. Not to mention you can purchase officially unlocked iPhones in the UK. Your money, do what you want.
