Is the Iphone 4 compatible with "Pay & Go" Sim Cards?

I'm thinking of purchasing an Iphone 4G, but I'm not old enough to apply for a contract, so there's no way of me being able to phone anyone. My question is if it's possible for me to:
1) Purchase an Iphone 4G with a "No Term", meaning no contract.
2) Then insert a "Pay & Go" Sim Card, which will allow me to pay a certain amount of money on it when ever i want, & then use my phone for calls, etc... until the money runs out?
Will this allow me to access the internet & call other phones?
Thanks!
Additional Details
One little detail. I might buy the phone in Germany and use it in Canada... Will the Pay and go sim work?

Unlocking & no contract are two entirely different things. An officially unlocked phone can be used on any compatible carriers network with the appropriate activated sim. No contract means that the phone is not subsidized, you pay full price, but are commitment free. No contract phones can still be carrier locked, I.E.- in the US you can purchase a no contract iphone at full price, but the phone is still locked to AT&T.

  • Does the iPhone 5 come with a nano sim card for canadian carriers?

    If you pre-order the iPhone 5, does the box include the nano sim card?

    If you buy an iPhone that is locked to one of the carriers, then yes, it will come with the appropriate SIM. If you buy an unlocked iPhone, you will have to get a SIM from the carrier.

  • Can I use UK iPhone in Canada with a Canadian Sim Card

    I have an iPhone 4 that was previously on an O2 contract in the UK. The contract is coming up to expiry and I have contacted O2 and they are now currently in the process of unlocking it. The phone was originally purchased through O2, not throught the Carphone Warehouse or other 3rd party.
    I am moving to Canada in the near future and was wondering if the phone will work with a Candian Sim Card from a Canadian Network provider (e.g. Rodgers)?

    Once it is unlocked, it will work on any GSM carrier in the world.  If it's a supported carrier, no changes will need to be made.
    If it's an unsupported carrier, then it will be up to that carrier to provide the necessary informationn to get the device working (APN's and such information).

  • Is the iPhone 3GS compatible with Motorola DECT 6.0 Bluetooth Home Phone?

    I have reception problems in some rooms in my apartment. I know that other cellphones are compatible with this motorola's home phones, so you can leave the cellphone in the room that you have signal and use the bluetooth connection of the cellphone with the motorola's handset so you can have reception in the bluetooth coverage area.

    If you are able to pair the iPhone at all with the Motorola, it is compatible. If you "have reception problems in some rooms in my apartment" note that Bluetooth "coverage area" only includes line of sight distance. Bluetooth is not rated to penetrate any intervening solid objects such as walls, doors or even bodies (living, dead or undead).

  • Does the iPhone 5 come with a nano sim in the UK? If not where can you get one on pay as you go?

    I am thinking of pre-ordering the iPhone 5 but does it come with a nano sim card? If not does any body know where I could get one on pay as you go?

    If you get the phone from a carrier it will come with a nano SIM. If you order direct from Apple you will need to get a sim from the carrier.

  • Can the iphone be compatible with my existing hardware?

    I need to know if the iphone will work with my Powerbook G4 500. I don't believe it has a USB 2.0 port. Will the iphone work with my Powerbook USB port? At a slower speed? I do have a Firewire 400 port. Is there such a thing as Firewire 400 converted to USB 2.0? Thanks for your help.
    Powerbook G4 500   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    you should look into getting a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card for your Powerbook, you know the slot which you may not use at all? You can get them as cheap as $18!!!
    Check out amazon.com or newegg.com or ask an apple employee at an apple store, etc.
    Would be great for your situation, as it will help not only for the iPhone, but for cameras and the bunch of USB 2.0 devices that exist.

    I am interested in purchasing an ipad mini w cellular option.  I am moving to the UK for a year and want to use a provider there but switch back to a US provider next year. Does the ipad mini come equipped with a micro sim card?

    The US AT&T model comes with an AT&T SIM. For other carriers you will need to get a nano-SIM from the carrier.

  • Is the iPhone 5 compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.8?

    I have a MacBook with Leopard 10.5.8, wondering if the iPhone 5 is compatible to sync with itunes10.6.8, because I tried to open .dmg 10.7 itunes says I need os 10.6 or higher to open the file , whats the deal, because it would suck to get my iphone 5 on release day and not be able to sync my media.

    I haven't investgated, nor have an iPhone, but I doubt it, Apple likes to leave old things behind.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard, but quick, call before it's gone!
    Call Apple 1-800-MY-APPLE
    You have to get 10.6.8 first to go even higher to 10.7 or 10.8

  • Is the iPhone 3G compatible with Mac OS X Lion?

    I heard somewhere that it is not compatible, but I am not sure as I cannot find that source anymore.  My dad has an iPhone 3G and he is afraid to upgrade to OS X Lion because he heard that they aren't compatible.  Thanks!

    Nathan-
    Sorry, I must not have been clear with my question.  I am asking if syncing and other connections with the computer are compatible between OS X Lion and the iPhone 3G.  Thanks!
