Is it possible to get a replacement UK iPhone 5 while abroad?

My iPhone 5 has a badly cracked display.  As I'm out of the UK at the moment, I took it for a Genius Bar appointment in the USA.  They told me it wasn't possible to get a replacement from them, and I would need to contact Apple in the UK to find out if I could get a replacement shipped to me.
Before I spend money on expensive international phone calls, does anyone know if it's possible to do this?  Are there any other ways I can get my screen fixed or phone replaced while I'm out of the UK?

Apple has bee pretty emphatic about the warranty/country restriction.  Adding to that dilemma is a broken screen...Apple does not fix that but replaces the whole iPhone as an out-of-warranty replacement.  For an iPhone 5, that cost is $229 in the US...not sure about the cost in the UK.
Can the UK store ship a replacement?  That would have to be discussed with the UK store, perhaps from a US store if you could get a "Genius" to be on the line and confirm the status, etc.  not sure if that would work but might be worth a try if you are desperate to get the iPhone replaced while here.  Consider shipping time/customs, and so on.
Just some thoughts on this problem.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    The phone number and SIM is irrelevant if you get 4G or not.
    The phone hardware is what is relevant.

  • If i get a replacement refurbished iPhone can i get the apple care warranty with it?

    im not sure about getting an out of warrantly replacement iphone 3gs and would love to know if i can get the apple care warranty if i do or does it only include the 90 day warranty?

    A refurbished iPhone comes with the same one year limited warranty as a new iPhone.

  • TS4006 is it possible to get the find my iphone app on my ipod touch?

    My iphone just got stolen and i cant access the find my iphone app because i only have the ipod touch, what do i do?

    I do not believe there's an app for that on PC. I do recommend getting the iCloud dashboard for PC and to try it there. I would myself if my PC was working.
    PC ***** get a Mac.
    You can always go to iCloud.com to find your phone.

  • Is it a possibility that apple will replace my iphone 5 with a 5c?

    I've just gotten tired of all the problems like exiting out of apps and dying at 20 to sometimes 50 percent and the lock button stopped working about 5 months ago. I never dropped it or anything until after the problems occurred and I used to always have the case on. I don't know if it has anything to do with iOS but from researching a bit it seems others with the 5 have been having similar problems. I even try to reduce the amount of apps I have open to help save battery and it just doesn't work, especially when I have my camera open, it'll drain drastically or just flat out die. Even when I close all open apps and turn notifications and things off and don't use it it'll still lose quite a bit of battery. My warranty ends on my birthday this week and I was wondering if I went and got a replacement if they'd replace it with the 5c because they seem to be very similar just size and material difference. But yea I just don't really want to end up with another iphone 5 that might end up the same way as this one has I guess.

    They will not exchange a 5 for a 5c.
    Sorry,

  • Possible that itunes will not update iphone OS while overseas?

    hi, im in australia, and i was thinking about getting the iphone 3gs through the local australian network carrier here, however, a friend of mine said that whenever he returns to his home country with the contract phone that he obtained under a plan with yes optus (australian network carrier) he told me that it is not possible to update the phone or download any apps through the local itunes store in his home country. to confirm this rumour, i head down to a 3 (another australian network carrier) retail store to enquire about the plan while at the same time asking about the rumour, a sales person said that it might be possible that itunes will not update an australian phone with an non australian IP address...is this true? because purchasing an iphone and not being able to update it while i too return to my home country would render the phone quite pointless. could someone please get back to me and confirm if this is true and if there is any possible solutions without hacking the phone? ohh and by the way, the network carriers do legally unlock the phones for their customer when anyone needs to go overseas

    If your phone is locked to the Australian network, then you can only roam in Malaysia. If it's unlocked, you can get a SIM card from a Malaysian provider.
    iTunes, however, is country specific. You cannot access Australian iTunes from another country. For example, I'm in the US, and I can't access iTunes from other countries.
    If your phone is unlocked, and you have a local SIM card, you should be able to access your local version of iTunes. No problem.

  • Stolen phone, is it possible to purchase a replacement at the upgrade price?

    I purchased an iPhone 5 about 2 mo's ago, upgrading from my iPhone 3 (the new phone cost $200).
    The phone was stolen from a gym locker about a week ago; I shut it down with AT&T and have had Apple lock it if it's connected to the internet. I didn't have any insurance on it (of course!)
    Is it possible to get a replacement phone for the upgrade price, instead of paying $600! Seems that the phone is worthless now, since it's locked and deactivated, but I'm stuck with the remainder of the 2 yr contract! Obviously I'm not looking for a free phone, I just don't want to pay the full $600 since I'm paying AT&T every month fror the contractas it is....
    Any advice?
    Thanks!
    Alan.

    You would need to ask AT&T what they will sell the phone to you for. Sometimes carriers will sell you preowned phones.

  • Hello i just bought an iPod Nano 7th gen and it got crushed the same day.  Can i get a replacement?

    I went to walmart and bought a 16 gb silver nano 7th gen.  Upon paying for it i regretfully said no when they offered me insurance or w/e it is.  So i go home, charge it and upload my music to it and head out to the gym.
    Now i know most of you are gonna think i crushed it with some weights but nope.  When i finished my workout i left and got on my car.  When i closed the door it bounced back and i heard a crush.  I look down and it appears the ipod fell out of my pocket and it got destroyed.  It still turns on but the mteal is bent, the screen is all tiny shards of glass and the image behind the glass is all messed up now.
    A little vent here but i honestly have the worst luck ever.
    Now is it possible to get a replacement somehow?

    You can send it in to them: https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action?PRKEYS=PF3

    iPhone warranty is not international, but is valid only in
    the country of original purchase. Since you bought the iPhone
    in the UK, your warranty is valid anywhere in the EU but not
    in Egypt. You can gry taking it to an Apple authorized reseller,
    but don't be surprised if they tell you they cannot do anything.
