IPhone 4 repairing [ bought in another country ]

Hi,
I bought iphone 4 when i was in china [ paid 400 RMB for extended warranty too !! ] thinking that Apple has International warranty .. But it came as a shocker that "Apple do not fix the phone in india" .. Can anybody tell me the logic behind this ? This is very sad to hear..
My problems are ..
1 ) Once i go back to india how will i get my phone fixed if it runs into any trouble ?
2 ) As i know apple will not fix a broken part.. They give replacements.. Is this true ?
Dear Apple Team ,
Could you cover the apple products under intrnational warranty ? that will be really helpful for customers like me who just buy a new apple device whereever in the globe we are !!! thanks a lot..
Regards,
Jay

"I bought iphone 4 when i was in china [ paid 400 RMB for extended warranty too !! ] thinking that Apple has International warranty .. "
That's your error. Not Apple's.
Can anybody tell me the logic behind this ? This is very sad to hear..
The logic is irrelevant. It's Apple's policy, pure and simple.
1 ) Once i go back to india how will i get my phone fixed if it runs into any trouble ?
You'll have to send it back to someone in China to get it repaired.
2 ) As i know apple will not fix a broken part.. They give replacements.. Is this true ?
Depends on the part. Some parts are indeed repaired.

Another error you have made: we're not Apple here. We're users just like you. If you have feedback for Apple, it goes here: http://www.apple.com/iphone.html

Using imessenger is it free to chat with iphone users who are in another country?

Using imessenger is it free to chat with iphone users who are in another country?

my understanding is yes because it worked with ipod touches via your Apple ID and there is no payment process agreement when setting up iMessage.

If I buy an iphone from an applestore in another country, can i use the warrancy here in my own country?

Is there a way to use the warrancy in my country if I buy the iphone from another country from an applestore?

If both places are in EU countries there is no issue. If not you will have to return to the country where you purchased it for warranty service.

Replacing an iphone bought in another country

HI,
I have bought my iphone in singapore, while I live in India. The service centre here says that only the country that the phone has been bought in can service it.
The phone is in warranty. How do I activate this service? Tried to contact a premium re-seller suggested by apple support, but they refuse to accept a mail in warranty. My phone's battery is giving major trouble and the only way it can stay on is with an external jacket charger.
Please help.
Thanks

You will have to take it back to Singapore. The iPhone warranty has never been international - it has always been specific to the country the phone was originally sold in.

Iphone bought in another country

Hae!
Is it possible to buy an iphone 4s in the states and take it back to europe for use?

Remember that the warranty on iPhones is not international. Should
problems develop that require repair/replacement, you will have to ship
iPhone back to friend/relative in US for them to get to Apple for repair
and friend/relative will have to ship back to you. All related shipping
and insurance costs are your responsibility. Apple US will not accept
shipments from other countries not will Apple US ship repaired/replaced
iPhones back to an address outside the US.
You are better off buying from Apple in your country or from an authorized
provider.

Hello. my friend bought 5 or 6 iphone devices (second handed) from another country during a trip. the problem is that all phones need user id to make the devise activated and we don't have any access to the original owner or the seller. plz help.

is there any ability such as cheking the devices serial number to make sure that it's not stolen or something? then if it doesn't have any problem then you compare the device with a new id.

You are running into Activation Lock. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5818
Unless the original rightful owner removes the Activation Lock, you will never be able to use the phones. There is no way to bypass or get around this.
I hope your friend can find that seller and get a refund.

About Repair/Replacement in another country

Hello everyone,
I bought an iPhone 5 (a14r9) from an Apple Store in Germany in September 2012. My problem is that: My iPhone's start/wake (power) button start not working since last two weeks, actually left side of the power button continued working a couple of days but yesterday it became fully broken. It does not react when I push on it. Suprisingly there were no problem with the device, no contact with water, no damage, just nothing.. and it is not working.
I live in Turkey and I don't have the opportunity to give my phone to Apple, because there is not an Apple Store in Turkey, currently. But I travel a lot, what I wonder is Can I take my phone to any Apple store in any country? I mean my phone's 1 year coverage still continued. It would be great if they can give me a new one or just repair it.
Note: I do not have the bill.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

As Turkey is not a member of the EU you cannot get help in your Country however as rg has stated above as the iPhone was purchased in Germany ,you can get service in any EU Country around Turkey that has an Apple presence and sells the iPhone 5
See this list
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
and this list will tell you how and where to get service
pick the relevant country from the drop down country menu

Replacement Service for an iphone which is purchased in another country

Hi,
I have an iphone5 which its proximity sensor does not work. In Australia I went to Melbourne Apple Center and after inspection they want to replace it with a new one, but after seeing its part number (including LL/A), they refuse to replace it because it is not an Australian iphone. It should be noted that I also have an applecare service for my iphone. Now I am really confused what I shall do for this case. I cannot go to USA at the moment and I need my iphone which now it's really useless for calling when I do not want to use handsfree. My current apple support case number is 426298085 and I have D87469214, 426306629 and D87468601 apple service request numbers which have been canceled due to the mentioned reason.
More easy and better customer services are really expected from apple. I am one of your loyal customer who is sad of your bad services in this case. Please guide me how could I replace my phone at the earliest possible time.
Regards,
Hamed

From applecare protection plan for iphone:
"6.2 Apple reserves the right to change the method by which Apple may provide repair or replacement service to you, and your Covered Equipment’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service. Service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the Covered Equipment cannot be serviced in the country it is in. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Apple may repair or exchange defective products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards."
Haha. Known issue maybe means there are several numbers of replacement for this reason. A quick internet search shows such a thing...

ITunes Match won't recognize albums bought in another country as purchased

Hi all,
momentarely I'm quite dissapoibted with iTunes match.
I have a library with 26k titles - over 2'700 bought in iTunes, the rest is my digitalized CD-Library or bough via amazon.
in 2010 I moved from germany to switzerland and changed the country in iTunes - the ID is the same.
Now it seems that all my purchases in the german iTunes store aren't recognized by match as purchase.
correct would it look like this:
     26'783 total
-       2'752   purchased in iTunes
=    24'031atch (clearly under the stupid 25k limit)
how iTunes calculates:
     26'783 total
-        702 recognized as purchase by iTunes-match
=   26'063 to match (over the stupid 25k limit)
I contacted iTunes-support.
I told them my suspicion that it may be related to the move, she said that it wouldn't matter only to correct this statement after a couple of weeks.
After a month she wrote me that this is a fact and is not be seen as a problem.
Pointing out that this is clearly not what was advertised, she answered me:
"I want to point out, that 25'000 songs are a fair amount and I suggest to renew your songs, and exchange older ones with new ones."
I find that answer for a represantive of af a music download store quite arrogant, and told her that I now would like to speak to her Teamleader, which she denied with the comment, that she is as high as it gets.
Has anyone else experienced something like this or an idea how to solve this?
cheers
Erik

There is no neat solution, this is how iTunes Match operates.
One work around would be to export on CD and re-import (for the purchases) and to re-rip for existing CDs - it will work but is time consuming.

Giftcard bought in another country/do you need a credit Card?

Hi,
I recieved two £15 iTunes gift cards from relavtives in the UK. My account is an Irish one. I try to make a new account but must I give more credit card details to make this new account. alternatively I tried to change my current account in a "United Kingdom" account but then I get promted to re-enter credit card details. I don't have a credit card because I'm only 16. so my two questions are:
* Must you have a credit card to create an i-tunes account???
* Is there any way to make the gift card work on my Irish account when it was bought in the UK???
Thanks in advance,
Harry HT

+Is there any way to make the gift card work on my Irish account when it was bought in the UK???+
Unfortunately, no. You might as well give them back to your UK relatives.
From the gift card FAQ:
+Gift certificates and gift cards purchased on the iTunes Store are valid for use only in the country in which they were purchased.+

My son tried to put in the validation code issued to his e-mail on his iTune account to purchase but it get declained as a message to the effecty that "code can only be used in purchased country as your iTune account does not match the country"
He'd tried by changing the iTune store to Ireland and attempted to redeem in his iTune acconut and it is not sucessful>
What shoud he do use this gift?
Should his Aunt in Ireland need to contact the Apple?
Would anybody help to understand what next my son could do?
[My son is 13 yrs old and do not have credit card]
Thank you for your time in answering my question.

You cannot use it.
Gifts are country specific.
They cannot be used outside of the country of origin and without a valid account in that country.

Call the store & ask the sales staff to send you one if you are no longer in Poland. If you are still there, what is stopping you from visiting the store?

Warranty when bought in another country

Is there a warranty on iPod touch 5. Generation if my brother (who lives in Japan) gives it to my daughter for Christmas? My daughter and I live in Denmark.

The Apple iPod warranty is international. If the country does not have an Apple store to bring it to then the Authorized Service Center may charge a fee.

Is it possible to use iphone4s bought in another country in US?

Hi I'm currently in Korea, and planning to stay here for 5 months. I need a phone in Korea and what i thought I could do is I can buy iphone4s here and use for 5 months, and after 5 months, take it to US and use it in US with verizonwireless line (which I currently have but temporarily stopped because i'm not using it for 5months, and plus, I lost my iphone4 so I'm trying to buy it in korea and take it to US). But what I heard is I can't use it with verizonwireless like regular iphones that we use in US.
Please answer my question. Thank you!!

A phone purchased in Korea would likely be a GSM phone. This won't work on the Verizon Wireless network since it uses CDMA for its voice network. A GSM phone will work on a GSM network here in the USA. How well will depend on the radio frequencies of the phone.
