Imported iPad in South Africa

I live in South Africa and want to buy an iPad from either USA or Hong Kong, will it work with my carrier?

Hi Priya
I'm loving my new 3G 32GB iPad. I got it from a client of mine who lives in the states. My US iPad works 100% apart from the problem I came across in my post.
I currently have an iPhone data contract from Vodacom and all I did was went to my local Vodashop and bought a micro sim card which cost R99. They added a new data bundle for my iPad to my existing contract and it was very quick and easy to do.
I would recommend getting it from the states because they are currently half the prices from what I saw on wantitall.co.za
My iPad is unlocked. I didn't have to crack it, jail break it or whatever they do nowadays. I took it out of the sealed box and started using it.

Import Process for South Africa

Dear All,
My client KLT Automotive is based in India.It has plants in India at several locations.They have put a new plant in South Africa.The procurement process will take place from India as well as South Africa.South Africa will also Import goods from KLT India.
According to South Africa taxation, only VAT 14% and Customs Duties are applicable on Import Goods.I would ike to know how will the process flow will take place in the SAP system.
As for India Imports the following are the steps:
1.Import PO
2.Commercial Invoice/Bill of Entry
3.Goods Receipt
4.Invoice for the foreign vendor
I tried a similar process ,but the pop-up for Commercial Invoice does not come during Goods Receipt.The currency in PO was ZAR(South African Rand ) and commercial Invoice was also ZAR (South African Rand ).Was this the reason because which I could not enter the commercial Invoice number during Goods Receipt?

Hi,
The process is same as below.
1 Import PO.
2. Commercial Invoice/Bill of Entry.
3. Goods Receipt.
4. Invoice for the foreign vendor.
And in PO for custom condition type enter local Vendor, which is having local currency as ZAR (South African Rand) by selecting lens button.
While capturing delivery cost during MIRO system will proposes this vendor and the currency will flow from vendor master. Then do GR and Invoice for the foreign vendor in other country.
And if both the plants are in same company code then follows STO process and even if it inter company code still you can do STO with by creating vendor/customer in supplying and receiving plant.

Taking my US 3G iPad to South Africa

Going to South Africa for 10 days in July and wondering if there is a way to swap SIM cards (purchase locally in South Africa) and pay local rates for 3G data in South Africa.
Does anyone know how to do this, if this would work, if this would affect my warranty with ATT or Apple?

Going to South Africa for 10 days in July and wondering if there is a way to swap SIM cards (purchase locally in South Africa) and pay local rates for 3G data in South Africa.
Yes - if there is a carrier in South Africa that provides a pre-paid micro-SIM card for data access only.
Does anyone know how to do this, if this would work, if this would affect my warranty with ATT or Apple?
The iPad 3G has a micro-SIM card tray which you would eject to remove the AT&T micro-SIM card and to place the micro-SIM card acquired from a carrier in South Africa - with the iPad powered off when doing so. Place the AT&T micro-SIM card in a safe place for use when you return.
There is no warranty with AT&T, and this would not affect Apple's warranty for the iPad. The iPad is not sold as carrier locked with AT&T, which means it can be used with any other carrier's micro-SIM card for data access only via the carrier's network.

How can I get google earth on my ipad in South Africa

How can I install Google Earth on my ipad in South Africa

Good question. Google is rather unscrupulous and Apple doesn't endorse it. Maybe someone else can help.

US iPad in South Africa drops 3G connection

I recently took ownership of a 32GB 3G iPad and got the micro sim from Vodacom, my cellular service provider, and my 3G works well apart from the 3G connection dropping after a few minutes for no apparent reason. The only way to get it back is to switch off the iPad and turn it back on again. It then works. It's most frustrating.
Can anyone help me?

Yes, you can use your iPad in South Africa. All of the built in apps should work just fine.

International travel to South Africa and iPad charging

I am traveling to South Africa and will need to charge my iPad. The camps I will be traveling to have generator power at times...I have the charging kit for international adaptors, will that work or will the generator power fry my iPad? I just want to make sure I burn up my machine.

And there is no need to buy the Apple cable to plug in to the SA sockets, or even an expensive travel adaptor. Search around in the travel shops and electrical shops (and in Australia the AA travel sections) and c$3 or equivalent gets you a simple and unobtrusive adaptor - some travel adaptors are pretty big. This will work round the world and keeps your costs down for the important things, beer and pizza. It also seems that buying them at home before you leave costs you more, but finding them abroad is a little trickier. For me, UK to US, Canada, Singapore, round Europe and Oz it worked fine.

Hi, I am planning a trip to South Africa (I live in Canada) and would like to know if I'll be able to use my Ipad there and what do I need to do to be able to have wi-fi or 4g access? Anybody can help me?

Hi,
I am planning a trip to South Africa in Nov/Dec. I live in Winnipeg Canada and own an Ipad wi-fi cellular. I would like to know if it is easy once in South Africa to use my device the way it is (i.e. with its existing SIM card etc). Or do I need to acquire a different SIM card? Also in order not to pay a fortune for the service is it better to acquire if needed a SIM card only once there? Also if I need a different SIM card where does one go to get one in South Africa? I have never travelled anywhere other than across Canada with my ipad (I am a fairly recent owner of such a device) and could use some help as to the best way to be able to use my machine in South Africa safely efficiently and at a reasonable cost.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you

Also in order not to pay a fortune for the service is it better to acquire if needed a SIM card only once there?
Check with your carrier about roaming charges. They are usually prohibitive. Best to get a local SIM.

Need Clarification on Import Pricing procedure in South Africa

Hi Experts,
Please let me know the import pricing procedure followed in South Africa.
Our Scenario is "We are raising the material PO to Overseas Vendor and a separate Freight Forwarder will do the customs clearing on behalf of us. We are receiving two invoices. One from the overseas vendor for the materials and another from Freight vendor for the Customs clearance and Freight."
In the Freight forwarder invoice, the components are (Split Fee, Cartage Fuel Surcharge, Cartage, Ailine Bond charges, Customs duty, Customs VAT and agency/documentation/facility/ release fee).
Can we do this by using Std import process? Please let me know your suggestions abt the import pricing procedure.

Does anyone know when the "new" iPad will be available in South Africa?

Hi
I'm not really sure where this should be posted. I know that there are two releases of the new iPad scheduled, one on the 16th of March, and one at the end of the month. But SA isn't on either of those lists. There is a huge demand for and support of Apple products in South Africa. I own the iPad 2, but now that I've seen what the new pad is capable of, I can't wait to upgrade!

All anyone on here knows is what Apple has published...only thing to do is wait for a release announcement.

HT2693 I am in South Africa I have a A1219 ipad using ios 5 1 how can I update it? I cant get Whatsapp?

I have a ipad A1219 that uses ios5.1 iwant to upgrade it to use latest ios? I am trying to dowload "Whatsapp" I can not download they say the app is not available in South Africa, please help me!

Model A12129 is the first gen iPad, it only supports up to iOS 5.1.1 - you cant install iOS 6+ on it
The developers of Whatsapp have not made a version for iPads, it can only be installed on iPhones.

When will the New iPad be availble in South Africa

I would like to know when the New iPad will be availble in South Africa.

Unless Apple has announced a release date there is nothing we can tell you on here, we are all users like yourself and not Apple employees.

Will an iPad work in South Africa?

I spend most of my year in South Africa. I'd like to purchase an I-pad in the States and use it in South Africa. Will it work there? A guy at the Genius Bar in NYC told me if I get an ipad with the AT&T plan, it will work in South Africa via SIM card.

I Just returned from s Africa. You can buy 2 gb including chip for US 24 from Vodacom at any mall. Make free phone calls using a VPN into US and use data plan over google voice and talkatone app
3g speed is ok in cities and along major roads
lots of free wifi in hotels usually with some max 50 or 100 mb
vpn from witopia - can watch us tv.

Is Siri available for my ipad 4 in South Africa

Can anybody advise if Siri is available to download in South Africa for iPad 4. New user, grateful for any assistance or tips. Cheers.

Siri is built-in, you cannot download Siri.
Press the Home button a bit longer and Siri will appear, if not then Siri is not supported in your country.
I'm afraid Siri is not supported in South Africa

Traveling to South Africa with iPad

1) does the iPad have a built in converter to 220v?
2) does the Apple travel adapter kit have the right plug for South Africa?
I have gotten conflicting info from the Apple store and their on line chat. Thx.

You will need a plug converter
Check details of WW kit to ensure they cover SA
If not if you check Amazon in your country under " South Africa power adapters "
you should find what you need
ps SA uses a 3 round pin plug
