If I buy an iphone in USA can I use it in the UK with my UK provider Virgin Mobile

It is advisable to purchase the phone in the country you intend to use it.
1)  You will have Warranty...
2)  your phone will work as expected.
3)  Unless Purchased Directly from Apple as an UNLOCKED device, the iPhones will be Locked to a US Carrier.. usually for a 2 year contract period.

    If you buy an unlocked iPhone it should work.
    Just understand that warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.

  • Can i buy an iPhone from USA online and use it in Europe?

    Can i buy an iPhone from USA online and use it in Europe?

    If you use a credit card from a financial institution in the US,
    with a verified billing address in the US, and ship the order to
    the US. Warranty will be valid only in the US and LTE will not
    work in EU. The low prices you see for some iPhones are
    because the iPhone requires a 2 year contract with a wireless
    carrier in the US. Prices for unlocked (useable with any carrier)
    iPhone 5 are $649 for 16 GB, $747 for 32 GB, and $849 for 64 GB
    + applicable taxes which will vary with shipping destination within
    the US. Still interested?

  • If i buy a Cellular iPad mini 3 in USA can I use it in the UK?

    If i buy a Cellular iPad mini 3 in USA can I use it in the UK?
    Could I use a UK SIM card in the UK after buying a cellular iPad in the USA?

    Apple does not take trade-ins. In a few countries Apple does work with a company who will give you some return on an existing device; for the US, see:
    http://www.apple.com/recycling/gift-card/
    Similar programs are available in a few other countries, and some dealers may have their own trade-in programs. But you most probably can get more for your device if you sell it yourself.
    Regards.

  • If i buy an iphone in Australia and it is unlocked, can i use it in the uk with a uk sim?

    if i buy an iphone in Australia and it is unlocked, can i use it in the uk with a uk sim?

    Depends on model for LTE(4G) see this list
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
    As long as you buy direct from an Apple Store is should not be carrier locked and will work on 3G and if say an iPhone 6 then 4G as well
    HOWEVER
    You will not have warranty or post warranty service in UK for a Australian sourced iPhone ,the warranty is NOT international

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?
    We would like to have all our music, photos, etc. on the iPad - is it best to create a new combined Apple ID for the iPad and simply upload our music, photos, etc. via our laptop instead? Does this not then render the iCloud useless to us?

    And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
    If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install.  Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.

  • HT4341 If I buy a mac in Canada can I use it in the UK?

    It I buy a Mac in Canada can I use it in the UK?

    For the most part, yes.
    Your Mac will run on 100-240 Volts and 50-60 Hz so you will not need a voltage converter. But, you will need an AC adapter to fit the UK wall plug.
    The UK does use channels 1-13 for Wi-Fi and Canada 1-11, so if you try to connect to a network that is using Channel 12 or 13, you will not be successful.

    I bought my iphone4 in singapore. Can i used it in the philippines with my globe postpaid plan?

    It seems that the iPhone is available unlocked in SG. However the warranty is not international and LTE is not guaranteed to work in the UK and EU on a SG bought phone.

  • If I buy an iPhone in America, can i use him in Belgium?

    It will work if you buy a factory unlocked phone from Apple.  LTE won't work in Belgium with a  USA phone.  The warranty will not be valid outside the USA.

  • Can I buy an iPhone without a carrier and use it as an iPod with...

    Can I buy an iPhone without AT&T or any carrier and use it as an iPod with a camera and a microphone?

    Apple Australia are selling the iPhone 3G for A$719, the iPhone 3Gs 16 GB for A$879, the iPhone 3Gs 32 GB for A$1040. No contract. After allowing for tax differences, at the moment these are around $100 more expensive than USA prices (Apple tend to set and keep prices relative to the date the item was released, regardless of further changes in exchange rates). This is about A$500 more than an equivalent iPod Touch, so you are paying a premium.
    I am also contemplating buying a replacement iPhone without a phone contract, as most of the time I do not need to use the amount of call time required by a contract. I can already change my data package on a month to month basis. My use pattern is generally a couple of months with no real need for a phone, followed by slightly less than a month of intensive data use, usually in remote areas. Also my partner really, really wants to grab my existing iPhone to replace the iPod Touch she grabbed earlier. The extra iPhone facilities really do give it a decent edge over the iPod. In particular, the always present camera proved way more handy than I ever expected. So I am being encouraged to upgrade.
    Still unknown is whether I can change SIM cards on an ad hoc basis. All major Australian phone companies sell iPhones (except most have stock shortages). Some carriers are only workable in major cities (but have cheap pre paid cards). Others are really expensive, but work well in country areas. Being able to run multiple appropriate SIM cards on different carriers would be really helpful.
