IPhone 5 Verizon-Will I be able to use my phone in The Philippines with a local filipino sim card?

Hello Everyone!
QUESTION: Will I be able to use a local sim card for cellular service when I'm in the Philippines?
                              - I have an IPhone 5 from Verizon Wireless
                              - Running IOS 7
                              - I've called verizon and was told that it woud work but I don't really get correct information from them sometimes so...
If this does work and you have any advice on which provider worked well for you, please let me know!
I'd love to use my phone like normal and not purchase a cheap one that is hard to operate...that's why we've got IPhones right?
Thank You!

iPhone and iPad: Using cellular networks while in another country

Many carriers offer international voice and data plans. Always contact your current carrier for details about international-roaming countries, SIMs, rates, and policies before you travel to another country. While you may not need an international plan to use voice or data roaming on your iPhone or iPad, your carrier may charge additional fees or higher data rates if you don't have an international plan.

Hi, I have an Ipad 2 and am planning a trip to Budapest,Hungary, I have Verizon, will I be able to use the Ipad 2 in Budapest?

And you can of course use the iPad itself for any function that does not require an Internet connection. You can only use a cell network if Verizon has CDMA partners in Hungary, which I believe they do not have.

I am using a Mac OS X 10.7 and i have trouble using idvd. If I buy a previous version of ilife, will I be able to use idvd without affecting the settings of Mac OS X 10.7? Can both versions of ilife run on the same mac?

You don't need to buy an earlier version of iDVD to have it run with Lion. iDVD 7 has been with us since iLife 08. Tell us in detail what you're experiencing.

Yes, though if the drive is formatted as NTFS, Mac OS X will not be able to write to the drive without you either installing third-party NTFS drivers or reformatting the drive.

Transferring playlists
If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

I bought the iphone 4s about a year ago, he was not new. The seller told me that he did the factory unlock, but he lied. Now I live in Russia and want to use the iPhone with a local GSM sim card.

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

Living in Mexico, but want to be able to use our phone in the states.

We are living in Mexico, but, when visiting the states, we want to be able to use our phone and have a US number. If we buy an unlocked IPhone and have it activated with a Mexico plan and number, can we change the SIM card when we visit the states and have a pay as you go US number?

I am afraid that this is a local policy of Germany as a state, and adopted by companies, which activate there. This method has been used in many European countries, but not in all countries. I am still happy that almost all the films are subtitled in Romania as this allows to hear the original language, the original voice and is very useful for learning foreign languages. Dubbing films is, in my mind, against the European spirit of mutlicultural continent, and states which still support this should abandon this method. I think this is an issue of a cultural phenomenon, not an Apple forum issue.
This is a comment inspired by your post, I am sorry, I have no idea how to solve this in the short run.

I'm trying to move 2 different iTunes library's (my PC crashed) from an iPod and iPod Touch to my iMac via a 3rd party app. Will I be able to use this app on the 2 new administrator accounts that I will set up?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! The app I'm thinking of using cost $35 and is supposed to move everything from the device to my imac, but will each administrator acct be able to use it? Is there another way?

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

Will I be able to use my Airport Extreme model A1143 with Xfinity's ARRIS model TG862G/CT wireless modem? If so, how? I want to keep my airport network setting if possible.

Comcast has been hounding me to upgrade to their newer modem in order to obtain maximum bandwidth with changes they've made. They sent me an ARRIS Wi-Fi modem (model TG862G/CT). I was not expecting the modem to have wireless and would prefer using my Airport Extreme (model A1143). I have not attempted to connect the new ARRIS yet. Should I send the ARRIS back or is there an easy way to make use of it while keeping my Airport Extreme fully functional?

Thanks, I will look up "bridge mode" after I log off here. In the mean time, what if I were to simply buy the newest AE—will I still be able to use "bridge mode"? I imagine Comcast would prefer that I use their equipment and will eventually leave me no choice, but until that happens I would prefer to use Apple's AE. What is your expert take on this?
Any AE will be able to do bridge. There is actually very little difference between your ancient AE and the latest AE in terms of functionality.. Apple is minimalist.. so change can be avoided.. no need to add functions that were always missing.
I was thinking the printers are USB?? Is that incorrect.. are they wireless or ethernet? Any native network printer can be simply connected to any router.. it will perhaps be slightly easier in an Apple environment to use them on an apple router but the difference should not be huge..
USB on the other hand is tricky.. you will need to use some router that allows print serving from USB.. that still works fine whether the AE is bridged or in router mode.
Netflix is no problem either.. (assuming you are not trying to bust a geo-block).. the actual netflix login is stored in the TV.. the only security info on the AE is the wireless connection and that can be swapped to any wireless router. No biggie.. geoblocking is a biggie.. tell me if that is the case.
It is really up to you.
1. Do nothing.. let Comcast squark all they like.. they are still providing you a service you can use. They are not going to cut you off if you still keep paying the bills.
2. Change the modem for the new one they sent.. this involves a lot of network modification .. but in view of the age of the current devices.. will have to happen in the near future regardless.
3. Return the modem router and request a pure modem.. to give you as little network impact as possible. You will simply change old modem for new one. However at some point the Gen1 or 2 AE will die.. and the rest of the network will need updating.. you are putting off d-day. Modern wireless routers have come a long way since Gen1 or 2 AE.
Take your pick.. Bob says 3. I say 2 or 3. It makes little difference as at some point the network needs a refresh.

How can I use an unlocked Droid Razr M with another company's sim card?

How do you use another company's sim card in an unlocked Droid Razr M? I tried the phone in both Global and GSM mode, but both say unknown sim card, and cannot find a network.

Law:
This bill became the law numbered Pub.L. 113-144
The bill would allow consumers to use their mobile devices with any wireless carrier. It also expands the right to unlock devices from mobile phones to all wireless devices. Unlocking mobile devices would allow consumers to choose their wireless service provider and would prevent wireless providers from restricting mobile phones to operating only on certain networks.

How do i contact someone about my satisfaction with my iphone? im not able to use my phone during the day because im at work

I bought an iphone 4 in august of this year, i had to have another one sent to me because it was freezing up on me. The new phone i recieved is doing the same thing and I have a hard time getting the phone to charge. I didn't pay all that money for a phone to not work like it is suppose to. I am not trying to be difficult and complain however I just feel that I payed too much money to be having all of these problems with this phone.

There is a Contact Us link at the bottom right of every forum page.
Best of luck.

Will i be able to use my apple gift card on an iPhone 5 pre order?

I have a gift card for $200 for Apple, I want to know if I pre order the iPhone 5, will I be able to use it at that moment to pay for it?

Unfortunatly, no. This is becuase in order to prevent fraud and people from buying more than 2 iPhones per customer, they require credit card or debit card, which has customer information by credit card companies. Apple store gift cards, on the other hand, has no customer information in the card, which is essentially the same thing as paying with cash.
However, credit or debit card policy is in effect for first couple of days, and after the demand dies down, Apple will let you buy iPhone with cash or gift cards, as long as you set up your iCloud account in store (if purchasing iPhone at full price) or setting up your celluar service.
If, however, you have no credit or debit card with you, then Apple might be willing to grant you a special exception, however, this is only avalible at the Apple Retail Store.

If I buy an unlocked, contract free Iphone 5 in Europe, will I be able to use it with a US carrier?

The topic says all really, Iphone 4s and 5 both have GSM and CDMA capabilities and it's supposed to be a world phone and blah blah, but, if i buy one unlocked 4s or 5 from Europe ( contract free) will I be able to use it with say ATT?
I'm confused about this though:
About the Unlocked iPhone
The unlocked iPhone includes all the features of iPhone but without a contract commitment. You can activate and use it on the supported GSM wireless network of your choice, such as AT&T in the United States. The unlocked iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S will not work with CDMA-based carriers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint." ( Link http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone/iphone4s)

AT&T and europe all use GSM . There is no CDMA in Europe
A genuine unlocked iPhone 4/4S from Europe will work fine
A similar unlocked iP5 will work on 3G but NOT on 4G as the
European iP5 does not have the 4G bands suitable for use in US
and the warranty will not be valid in the US it is not international
