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.

i used an apple account of a friend to download apps to my iphone, the account then closed, now when i tried to update apps i download it from my account or i buy it using my account, its says that i have to put the password of my friend account, and if i want to update any app i downloaded or buy from my i have to delete it and download it again.
what can i do??As far as I know you should be prompted for the password for an account that 'owns' one of the apps that requires updating.
If all of the apps with updates are linked to your account and that is the account that is now logged in, then you could try a reset and see if that helps : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot. -

I havent used it to buy anything yet... and i dont wanna waste my money. Can anyone help??
Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
Please help!Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

If the phone is locked to a carrier then you will need the carrier to unlock it And only the carrier can do that.

Where to buy my iPhone 5 from? I will be living in Canada for a while after the next 6 months. And returning to the UK regularly so I want an unlocked iPhone so I can use a local sim in Canada and a local sim in the UK to keep roaming costs down. But which model?
Thank you for you help in advanceIf you buy an iPhone at the UK or Canadian Apple stores, it should work on the GSM frequencies in both countries. LTE will not work as the LTE channels are different in each country and each iPhone sold in each country is only compatible on LTE channels of that particular country. Other wise it should be fine.
Be aware that only the Apple store (retail or online) sells the unlocked iPhone in the UK. I think the situation is similar in Canada. (It is in the US). -

i recently moved to new jersey from brasil...i had my iphone via claro in brasil sao paulo....i now want to use it on AT& T Or other...i understand it is blocked....can i get it un blocked legally correctly say at apple store or can i do it via apple site...or something.
OR DO I HAVE TO BUY A NEW PHONE??? :-(
ALANHi alanhorne00,
Ai beleza? Cara meu iPhone não funciona aqui no Brasil e é DESBLOQUEADO. Não sei se é legal mesmo, mas assim, uma ideia que surgiu assim que lei seu post seria a posibilidade de trocar né?
Moro em Sampa.
Basically the inverse problem: Live in Brazil, I paid for a factory unblocked/locked iPhone and after attempting to update / restore, it doesn't recognize my carrier SIM chip (TIM).
Unsure of legality here, but just an idea to save a little cash.
Que tal? -
hello! i am from Romania and i want to buy an iphone from the USA site. can i buy it neverlocked? and if it is possible how much should it cost in totat(with transport and the iphone price)?
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.

i buy used iphone 5s from japan and when i do activated it write need apple id and i no have that id because i buy from japan and i know in lebanon pleas tell me what i do
There is not a thing you can do except get the Apple ID and password of the previous owner...that iPhone is in Activation Lock mode and cannot be unlocked any other way. The Activation Lock is an anti-theft protection that cannot be bypassed. You very well may have a stolen iPhone so try contacting the who you bought it from and get your money back.

Hi - I tried to restore my iPhone 5 to factory setting so I could give it to my son but when I did it reset to someone else's apple id. I don not know this person and I am the only owner of the phone purchased from Sprint. How do I get this phone to work?
Its called Activation Lock. Take the phone to Sprint and explain your problem. It is their fault and responsibility to properly reset used phones.

I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.
Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead? Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

I bought an iPhone 4 from a youngster who had put his own Apple ID on it but could not remember the password. I backed it up yesterday and restored to my new iPhone and it copied the Apple ID across too. Now I have 2 phones with it on. Anything I do?
that must be really annoying !!
so this is what you call
FIND MY IPHONE ACTIVATION LOCK Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
when you start using iCloud on any iOS device and enable find my iPhone, this prevents a new user from using it, and also prevents anyone from using the phone
as it is locked to previous owners account ,this is also the case if when a phone is lost or stolen.
the only way around this is to have the previous owner reset their apple id by going to @ applied.apple.com
if they are unable to do this, then the only other way around this is to have the previous owner get a copy of their original receipt and call apple support who can then lift this lock if they get a copy of the receipt
unfortunately there is no quick fix -> the below link explains what you should do before you sell or give away an iPhone

Looks like you restored your backup file to her phone. If you didn't back up your wife's phone first, then the data is gone, sorry.
