If i buy iphone from apple shop so can i use it world wild ?

As long as it is sim free with no subsiby to a carrier, then yes you can slot any sim in and use it anywhere.  And yes the Apple stores in the UK sell factory unlocked phones as long as they are not connected to a carrier as Apple sell those as well.

  • If I buy Iphone from Apple Store, can I transfer to Virgin Mobile?

    If I buy any Iphone from Apple Store, can I transfer it to Virgin Mobile? Because Virgin Mobile for Iphone is expensive than regular price. So I favor to buy it from Apple Store. Can anything I get it to Virgin Mobile??

    Hi Court,
    When you buy a phone from the Apple Store, they are going to automatically attach it to a carrier.  I'm not sure if you're with one right now but either way this is the case.  The price you're paying for the phone is relative and I'll give you detail as to what that means.
    Virgin Mobile: No contracts and month to month
    iPhone Cost (32GB: $649)
    Verizon: 2yr Contract
    iPhone Cost (32GB: $299)
    Monthly Bill: $100 (All in)
    Now understand the math here.  Over 2 years with Verizon, you'll be paying ($100 * 24months) + $299 = $2,700.  So you're locked in for 2 years.  You'll have to pay a termination fee if you want to leave early which I'm sure will equal so some of the amount balance of the phone for what Verizon bought it at.  You're paying less upfront but more over the long term.
    With Virgin you might end up paying $649 up front but since there are no contracts, you can leave anytime.

  • Hi, May I ask... If I buy iphone from apple store, will I have to pay another taxes if I'm not in US?

    Hi, May I ask... If I buy iphone from apple store, will I have to pay another taxes if I'm not in US? I'm from Indonesia.... THX

    If you do not have a US billing and shipping address, you can NOT purchase an iPhone from the US Apple web site, if that's what you're asking.
    If you are physically in the US, you need to know that #1. Unlocked iPhone 4S will not be available for purchase until some time in November. #2. The warranty is NOT international. If it breaks, you will not be able to get it serviced anywhere but in the US.
    As for taxes, you will have to pay sales tax in the US. As far as any duties on the phone are concerned when you take it home, you'll have to inquire of your government for the answer to that.

  • Buy iPhone from Apple Store

    iPhone3G is now available direct from Apple Store in HongKong. Will Apple ship to anywhere outside Hong Kong, even if the buyer pays for the shipping charges? Has anyone ordered an iPhone from Apple Store Hong Kong?

    I think this is doubtful.
    I don't believe Apple ships iPhones outside of any country where it is sold, regardless if sold as unlocked in a particular country. AFAIK, the iPhone sold in each country must be purchased at an Apple Store if there is one available, or via Apple's designed provider or approved sales outlet in each country.

  • Buying iphone from Apple store for use with various carriers

    If I buy an iphone 4 from Apple store (not subsidized), can I use it with Virgin Mobile's no contract plan?  Or do I need to buy it from Virgin Mobile?
    And If, after a month or two, I decide not to use Virgin Mobile, can I switch to another carrier using the same phone? or do I need to unlock it or whatever?
    I guess what I am really getting down to is this:  I want to choose Virgin as carrier because there is no 2-year contract locked in, i.e. flexibility to switch, and I am willing to pay full price for the phone.  But if, for some reason I don't like Virgin's service, or they to raise their monthly fee so that it is no longer competitive to ATT, VZ, etc., I want to be able to switch to another carrier with the same phone, and not have to sell it on the 2nd hand market.
    I know I can just purchase the iphone 4 that Virgin offers for 350.  But if it only works with Virgin and no other carrier, then what is the point of not having tied into a contract?  The phone is useless unless I use it with that carrier.
    I have not asked Virgin this question yet, because what I really want to know is, if an iphone purchased in an Apple store can be used "universally" across all carriers.  I kind of understand there is a different standard that ATT use as opposed to all other carriers, but I am hoping to find the definitive answer about iphone compatibility for all carriers that offer the iphone.

    3)  I assume VZ and S use CDMA.  So, an unlocked VZ CDMA iphone user can switch to S and vice versa, and that's it?
    You assume correctly that Verizon and Sprint are CDMA.  However, no CDMA carrier will activate a device sold for a network other than their own.  In the "CDMA world" there is no such thing as an unlocked device.

    4)  ATT unlocked iphone users cannot use same phone with VZ, S, Virgin, or whoever else offering iphones at this time?
    An unlocked GSM iPhone can be used on TMobile and any other GSM carrier in the US, there are quite a few regional GSM carriers and resellers (like StraightTalk).  Not all features are supported/work and it's up to those carriers to get them working.

    Now this is where it gets confusing, kindof.
    The iPhone 4 is GSM or CDMA only.
    The 4S and 5 are World phones meaning they have GSM and CDMA antenna's.  A CDMA 4S or 5 can be unlocked by the carrier (Sprint, Verizon, Virgin, etc) and activated on a GSM network.  Generally the carrier will only unlock for International carriers for the purpose of using GSM when the user is traveling and there is no partner CDMA carrier network for the user to roam on.

  • If I buy iphone 5 without contract, then can it use in another country?

    My father wants to buy iphone 5, and he want to bring it back to Thailand. Pls. Answer me as fast as you.

    There are no unlocked iPhone 5's for sale in the USA at the moment. So buying one "without contract" will not let it work outside of the US. You would need to buy an unlocked iPhone 5 without contract for it to work elsewhere.
    Also, the US uses different bands for LTE, so the 4G connectivity is unlikely to work outside the US:

  • I recently obtained a new solar-powered extender battery (2700 mAh Li-ion, maker not known) that I can't get to work.  Each time I plug it in, I get a notification from Apple saying I can't use it to charge the phone.  Why not, if I have the correct plug?

    I do have another NewTrent charger that works okay, not great, because sometimes the connection is intermittent and it keeps connecting and disconnecting over and over.  So I was looking forward to trying this new charger, but Apple is blocking it for some reason.  Any idea why?

    Unfortunately, I threw away the plastic packaging for the device, not realizing there was no manufacturer identified on the unit itself.  It just says it is ITEM 68691, 11c China.  It also appears to be rated for the correct voltage - Under SOLAR MOBILE PHONE CHARGER it says, 2700mAh li.ion Battery; 5.1VDC, 250mA
    That's all there is except for a little round white label that has these numbers:  36100, and then underneath, 482012
    Thanks for your comments.  Not sure what else to do, but maybe I can take it in to an Apple store and they can look at it.

  • IPhone from Apple Showroom, UK

    if i want to buy iPhone from Apple Showroom, what i have do for that?
    Do i need to sign a contract with Apple/O2 even if i do not use it as mobile?

    The iPhone will not work without being activated. All you can do is make emergency calls (at least here in the US) not sure even that ill work there in the UK.
    If you don't want a phone then just buy the iPod Touch.
    If you decide to buy it you have to sign up with O2 to use it since that is the mobile provider designated for your area.

  • Can I buy an original 2G iphone from Apple?

    I want to buy an original iphone from apple, can anyone help me? I don't wanna buy from "craigslist" or "ebay" because I dont trust any of those buying websites.

    Apple no longer sells the first generation iPhone, and they haven't done so for a while.

    Possibly; it depends on where you are and what model of iPhone you're interested in. Call or visit your local Apple Store and ask.

  • I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but  it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
    I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
    Thanks,
    Best Wishes

    When did you buy it?
    Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
    What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.  Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

  • If I buy a digital book in  EPUB size from a web site, how I may read it on my IPad? Specify that I didn't buy it from Apple Store.

    If I buy a digital book in  EPUB size from a web site, how I may read it on my IPad? Specify that I didn't buy it from Apple Store.

    First, epub has nothing to do with size, it is a file format that is popularly used for ebooks, but ebooks published in epub file formats vary greatly in file size.
    It will depend on where you buy it.  Many books are DRM locked (Digital Rights Management, a software lock).  If so, in order to load it into another companies reader or reader software, you need to use something like Adobe Digital Editions to "authorize" the book on the device.  Apple's iBook software does not work with ADE.
    If the book was DRM free, you should be able to read it in any ereader or ereader program that supports epub format.
    If the book is DRM locked to B&N, Amazon, Kobo or whichever seller you shopped from, then the simples thing is to download their free app for the iPad (they all make one, in fact they all make free apps for iPad, Android, Mac OS X and Windows).
    So the short answer is yes, you should be able to read any epub ebook file on an iPad, although not necessarily in iBook.
    So, books from
    Amazon - get the Kindle reader app
    B&N - get the Nook reader app
    Kobo - get the Kobo reader app
    non-DRM epubs can be read in iBook, Nook, Kobo, or Google Play
