Is it possible to use a Verizon iphone with SIM card?

I am due for an upgrade from an iphone4 (from Verizon) but am moving to New Zealand where they use SIM cards... If I upgrade to a 5s or 5c will I be able to use it internationally?

The 5 series all have sim cards and unlocked GSM radios.  But, if you move to NZ with an iPhone purchased in the US you will have no warranty or service support from Apple.  That is only valid in the country of purchase.

  • Is it possible to use a single iPhone with two contact numbers via dual sim or an app?

    Is it possible to use a single iPhone with two contact numbers via dual sim or an app?
    This would be a useful feature for personal and company numbers but using one mobile, rather than carrying two devices or diverting calls.

    Then go ahead and try it.  You'll find it's probably a load of crap.
    You want 2 numbers, then use Google Voice or TalkaTone
    Those are US based only Apps or numbers so no good. I won't be wasting money by just trying something either, especially because using a dual sim would mean purchasing another sim card on either pay as you go or monthly contact.

  • Possible to track lost/stolen iPhone without sim card?

    I managed to lose my iPhone last night ( )and I think it may have been picked up by someone as it was lost in a bar and the bar hasn't got it. I've tried calling it but it just goes straight to my voicemail.
    Since it was fully charged, I don't think it's died. If someone has taken the sim card out and restored the phone, is there any way to track the actual phone?

    With a MobileMe account and Find My iPhone enabled along with the Passcode Lock feature enabled which prevents someone from accessing anything on your iPhone, removing the SIM card prevents using the Find My iPhone features. The same if the iPhone is restored with iTunes as a new iPhone.

  • HT5012 Where could i locate the Verizon IPhone 4 sim card slot

    Can anyone help me locate the sim card slot on a iphone 4 from Verizon Wireless

    There isn't one. It's a CDMA only phone. It can only work on Verizon's 3G network.

  • HT1688 Does apple ship iPhones with SIM cards?

    I ordered my iPhone online from apple store. It is a locked version with AT&T. Does apple ship it with a SIM card or do I need to go to AT&T store to get a new sim?

    No, it's utter nonsense.
    AT&T and Verizon tend to be more expensive than Sprint or TMobile. Sometimes, you get what you pay for.

  • What prepaid service can I use my verizon Iphone 5 on

    Recently about a month ago there was a commercial on tv that was a no contract Cellphone Carrier that advertised I could take my iPhone5 to their service.  Unfortunately through my infinite wisdome I thought I had bookmarked their page and I had not.  I was hoping that someone here can help me find their service as I am tired of Verizons BS games like trying to say I was in Canada Mexico and IL all that the same time according to their system.  Then their wonderful rep after being told not to changed my data package from 6 gb to 2 gb causing me to go over my data and when I called them to find out why I was over my data I was told I could not go back to the package I had as it was no longer offered as I was getting the 6 gb for 20 bucks a mo and the 2 gb was 20 bucks a mo as well and for me to go back ot it I was looking at 60 bucks.  I could swear the company's name started with an A I know its a long shot but they said I could use the verizon Iphone with them and they just had to ship me a new sim card for it and it was good to go.  Please help as I need to get my phone working again my mother has cancer and this is the only way I can communicate with her right now is over my phone.

    The Verizon iphone can only be used with Verizon in the U.S.
    I have a iPhone 5 that I use on Verizon which is CDMA. I can also use that phone on any GSM carrier in the U.S. and abroad. The phone is not locked to Verizon. Even with Verizon I need a Verizon sim. I paid full price for the phone to get an unlocked phone.

  • Can I use a Verizon iPhone 5S with a Japanese au SIM?

    I was wondering if anyone knows if I can use a Verizon iPhone 5S on Japan's au with an au SIM card???
    (Verizon iPhone 5S comes factory unlocked and freely accepts GSM nano SIMs from other US carriers. This question is specifically for people with firsthand knowledge of American phones working on Japanese networks with Japanese SIM cards.)
    I'll be living in Japan for just 7 more months, so it doesn't make sense to buy an impossible-to-unlock Japanese iPhone now. I'll be back on Verizon when I move back to the States, so if I can use an American Verizon phone on au, I would love to buy one right now while I'm home in Hawaii for the holidays.

    You can't. Doing so is not supported.

    I recently went to Italy (for business March 2011).  I have a Verizon iPhone 4 (CDMA), and called Verizon before I went.  They said "No, It would not work" only the WiFi.  However, I did see some Italians using iPhone 4 (I could tell it was iPhone 4 since it looked exaclty like mine (rectangle,and not "curved corners").  So I guess, if you switched to an Italian network probably Vodafone it could work.
    Vodaphone is not a CDMA network, a Verizon iPhone will not work, an AT&T iPhone will work.

  • Can I use my Verizon iPhone in Japan?

    Can I use my Verizon iPhone in Japan?

    I just used my iPhone 4S in Tokyo and Kyoto. (June 2013) It works perfectly on their CDMA system there, even though I am an AT&T (GSM) subscriber in the US.
    It seems that, unlike the earlier iPhone models, the 4S is both CDMA and GSM compatible.  Be careful though, unless you buy a Data Plan from Verizon before you leave the US, the use of their 3G internet access will be really expensive, if you enable "Data Roaming" while traveling there.  Also check to see if you can purchase an international calling plan that reduces the per-minute rate while traveling in Japan, before you depart.  Do the same for text messaging.

  • Is it possible to use creative cloud online with both Mac/windows system (on the same computer, bootcamp) without paying twice ?

    Hello, I work with a Macbook pro, divided into mac and win 8 (with Bootcamp), is it possible to use Creative Cloud subscription with both system without paying twice.
    Bonjour, J'utilise un Macbook pro partitionné Bootcamp mac et windows 8, est-il possible que l'abonnement à Creative Cloud en ligne fonctionne indifféremment dans les deux systemes (sur le même ordi), sans payer deux fois.
    Merci,

    Your subscription allows for two functioning installations (normally on separate machines, but I imagine you could install the two as you indicate).

  • Can I use my iPhone 6 SIM card in a iPad Air 2

    If my iPhone 6 SIM card would work in an iPad Air 2, I would purchase the wifi + cellular model. Anyone able to answer this? Thank you

    If you could ,why would you want  do that? So you are going to be switching your SIM back and forth between devices.? Not practical. And your are going to pay more money for a Wifi+SIM model and only use it with a SIM part of the time? Not economical.
    Do what Alfred has suggested and use the Personal Hotspot on a Wifi only model if you want to "share" the SIM. Or if you buy the WIFI+SIM model opt in to a data iPad plan with your carrier. If you already have data on your iPhone, some carriers "allow you to use the data plan on more than one device for a modest add on fee. Contact your carrier.
