Is the iPhone for me?

Hi, I currently have service with Verizon and will be studying abroad next year for about 4 months in Europe (Vicenza, Italy and traveling to other countries). Since Verizon has expensive international plans and does not use SIM cards I feel like the only option is to buy a SIM phone and get service from the iPhone service provider in Europe.
Does AT&T have good (affordable) international plans, and if not will signing onto a European iPhone Service provider be a good alternative option?

Unfortunately, the iPhone that you buy here in the US is locked to ATT specifically. Likewise, the iPhones bought overseas are carrier locked to wherever they are bought. At this time, you cannot switch the SIM card to an international one in the US iPhone. Some things to think about.

    Did you find an answer to your question?
    Would it also apply to Mountain Lion's Messages?

    I bought a Iphone 4S in Colombia two months ago, It never worked properly, I cant put turn it on.  When I went to Movistar they told me that it was a problem with the software.  Now, they have the Iphone for repair at Movistar.  The questios is, If I bought a NEW Iphone why they gave me a Iphone with this problem.  I asked about the warranty but they told me that Apple doesn't respond.  Please tell me something.  The IMEI is: 013071008363505 is a Iphone 4S  16GB.  Black.

    I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.

    I had apps last year for NFL schedules and also for college

    If this is true, then it is because no one is making these apps.
    Why else would it be?

    If you don't have a SIM card in the phone, you must put one in. It's required for activation.
    If you do, then your phone was probably hacked to unlock it from the original carrier. Contact them and see if they will unlock it. If they will not do so, then you can't use that phone.

  • I just want to use the iphone for music, internet and video.

    Hello, I recently won an iphone.
    Scenario 1
    what do I need to do if I do not want to activate the phone portion and sign up with At&T, but do want to use all of the non-phone applications the iphone has to offer?
    Scenario 2
    I am currently under contract with AT&T and have a work sponsored blackberry. Let's say I did want to use the phone capabilities of the iphone but do not want to activate it and pay out of my own pocket. What can I do? I have read so many SIM related posts but have yet to find the one, single, clear answer.
    Please help:-)

    If you are a current ATT customer, you wont pay an activation fee for the iPhone. But you will have to add the iPhone data plan to your bill. I don't know what your paying now, but this may, or maynot affect your overall bill. I do know, that you will loose your corperate discount though.

  • When/how to charge the iPhone for optimal battery life?

    I have an iPhone 3G 8GB. I was just wondering what the best way to go about charging the iPhone is, in order to optimise the battery life?
    Should you wait until the iPhone is really flat/ low battery and then charge it up full, or are smaller and more frequent 'shallow' charges healthier?
    I also heard somewhere that every couple of months or so it is a good idea to let the battery run completely dead and then charge it up, in order to calibrate it or something... but that doing this too often could be detrimental.
    Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated! I don't know if I should let my iPhone run really low before charging it or if smaller more frequent chargers are the way to go.
    Thanks!

    Thanks! I did read over that and have taken the steps mentioned and fiddled around with settings of my phone to optimise use. I was just wondering if anyone else had anything else to add about charging habits specifically and what works best... I think mainly I'm just being paranoid about my phone dying prematurely since it's the first time I've owned such an expensive gadget!
    Also, can you overcharge it? Is it bad to leave it on the charger overnight? I've done some searching in other threads/ webpages and there seems to be some discrepancies but for the most part people seem to think that it will be fine?

  • I gave the iphone for servis and they gave me back another one used. Is that legal, I gave the iphone for servis and they gave me back another one used. Is that legal

    I gave my iphone for servis and the sailman return to me another one that has been used, without giving more details, telling me that this is the way apple does business. IS THAT TRUE?

    A refurbished until should appear identical to a new unit...you should not be able to tell the difference. If your unit is truly "used"...scratches, signs of use, etc., then Apple's warranty terms were not followed.
    All refurbished units receive new cases & batteries, at a minimum...that's why you can't tell the difference.

  • Iphone is frozen and itunes will not recognize the iphone for a restore

    my facebook app was giving me problems while trying to update my status, so I decided to delete the app and try to re-install it. after deleting the app, the phone froze. I decided to do a soft reset, and the phone will initially boot up only to the apple image on the screen and them immediately shut back off. I've tried to do multiple other soft restarts, but it won't get past the apple logo on the screen before shutting completely off again.
    the phone is out of warranty and I was told by the support line that I need to do a backup restore, but now my itunes won't even recognize the iphone to give me the option to do a restore from backup.
    I have an iphone with 3.1.3 and Windows Vista.
    thanks for all you help!

    Unfortunately it never gave me the option to restore from backup. only to do a complete restore to factory. I reconnected the phone to the computer and in the process of doing another restore. this time it actually showed the progress on the iphone screen as opposed to the first run only showing the apple logo on the screen. I believe you may have saved my phone! I will let you know in a few...

  • Use the iphone for international use

    I LIVE IN THE USA, I PREFER TO BUY THE IPHONE 5.
    MY PROBLEM IS: I TRAVEL OFTEN TO EUROPE, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT MODEL TO BUY?  THE A1428GSM OR A1429GSM?
    PLEASE HELP ME.
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH

    Egilbbys21... I am curious how things worked out with getting a nano SIM and your iPhone 5.  Our family will be visiting Manila this summer, and I would like to hear a first-hand account about your phone experiences.  Do you purchase minutes for call/texting?  What about data?  Any feedback you can give from your trip regarding your iPhone usage would be helpful.  Thanks!

    No, unless there's an iPad version of your App that the developer wants to sell separately.

  • Why wont e-mail work on the iPhone for my company?

    Ok i have been wanting to get an iPhone for a while now. About 8 months ago a bunch of us in our company upgraded our phones and most of us got new blackberry's because thats what we always had. One person decided to get an iPhone. When i tried to set up the e-mail for them it just didnt work well at all. Some e-mail came in, most didnt. An e-mail would go out, but most wouldnt. There was no rhyme or reason for it. We were missing tons of e-mails and in our industry i cant afford to miss e-mails and have them not come through, or not being able to reply to them. We dont use AOL, or Gmail, or any of those, but our e-mail is not on an exchange server. It is POP3. I was thinking that maybe the e-mail has gotten better and maybe it will work now? Well at least im hoping... Any ideas?

    Although a POP account can be accessed with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. If the account is being accessed with an email client on the one person's computer and the email client on the one person's computer is launched and running actively checking the incoming mail server for new messages while the iPhone's Mail client is doing the same, only one email client can be checking the incoming mail server for new messages and/or downloading new messages at a time.
    In addition, what is the account setting with the email client used on the computer for accessing the account for removing messages from the server when downloaded? If set to remove messages from the server when downloaded and the email client is actively checking the account for new messages and downloading new messages received at the server while the iPhone's Mail client is doing the same, the messages downloaded with the email client on the computer will be removed from the server when downloaded so the messages will not be available for the iPhone's Mail client to download when the iPhone's Mail client checks the incoming mail server for new messages afterwards.
    Does the account have an authenticated SMTP server?
    If not, there will be problems sending messages with the account depending on the the internet service provider being used for the internet connection at the time.
