Is there any difference between an unlocked and sim free iPhone?

Is there any difference between an unlocked and sim free iPhone?

I think in the context you're using, they are pretty much the same thing. The only carrier on the planet as of this writing with the CDMA iPhone, which does not use SIM cards AT ALL, is Verizon in the U.S.
There is a difference between an unlocked iPhone and an iPhone sold without a contract, but still locked to a carrier.
This list details all of the currently supported iPhone carriers. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
Some carriers sell phones that are NOT carrier locked (i.e. SIM FREE). Some sell locked phones, but offer unlocking services for their subscribers. In SOME countries, unlocked phones can be purchased directly from Apple. Apple also sells locked phones, that do not require a term commitment with the carrier at what is usually the same price as an unlocked phone.

  • Is there any difference between an unlocked Iphone sold in australia and the USA and if i bought one from the USA what would I have to do to use it.

    Is there any difference between an unlocked Iphone sold in australia and the USA and if I bought one from the USA what would I have to do to use it.

    An unlocked phone is an unlocked phone.  It's sold without a SIM card.  You have to get a SIM card from the carrier you want to use, with an account set up, insert the SIM and activate the phone in iTunes.
    Unlocked phones sold by the USA online Apple store can only be shipped to a US address and paid for by a US credit card
    The only difference between an officially unlocked iPhone sold in the US and Australia is the warranty.  The warranty is valid only in the country of sale.  If you buy the phone in the US and return to Australia, if it breaks you have to ship it to a US resident who will get it to Apple and return it to you.  It can't be shipped direct in either direction.

  • Is there any difference between the iPod and the iPod hp?

    I'm new to iPods so forgive me if this is a foolish question but I've been thinking for a few weeks now about getting my daughter the shuffle. I bought the 1gb iPod shuffle hp today in Staples because they had it on sale but I'm wondering if there's any drawbacks to buying this one compared to buying it directly from Apple? As far as the electronics, is there any difference between the iPod and the hp iPod?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Electronically, there is no difference. The only difference comes in support. Apple allows you to call them for 90 days and one issue after you buy them, supporting windows and macs. HP will only help you if you are using a windows, however that support lasts one year. Keep in mind that if you need support, you'll have to go to an HP authorized repair center or another one of HP's options as the apple repair site and apple stores can't help in that regard.

  • Using AT&T prepaid nano sim card on unlocked and sim free iPhone 6

    I'm currently a Boost Mobile customer and planing to get a unlocked and sim free iPhone 6 (model:A1586). If I buy AT&T prepaid nano sim card, will this work? How do I activate the sim card with keeping my current phone number?

    It should work, You are going to have to contact AT&T and have the number ported to your AT&T gophone account.

  • Is there any difference between "jsp:useBean" and "scriptlet" ?

    A few days ago, I asked similar question. But I didn't get the answer I wanted.
    I want to know the differnce between <jsp:useBean../> and <% .. %>(scriptlet).
    I tested in three environments(Oracle Jserv, OC4J, and Apache Tomcat).
    In Oracle Jserv and OC4J, a problem occured. But, Apache Tomcat does not occur a problem.
    For example,
    1) TestClass.java (Bean)
    public class TestClass {
    private String txt;
    public class TestClass {
    txt = "Test"; ----- (g
    public String getTxt() {
    return txt;
    2) test.jsp
    <html><body>
    <% TestClass test = new TestClass(); %> ---(h
    <%= test.getTxt() %>
    </body></html>
    Assume that I visit "http://localhost:8888/test.jsp".
    In Tomcat, if I change "Test"(number(g) to "Test1" and compile the browser shows the change.
    But Oracle Jserv and OC4J does not do that. They also show the old String.
    So, I changed <% TestClass test = new TestClass(); %>(number(h) to <jsp:useBean id="test" class="TestClass" />. That is, I changed "Scriptlet" to "JSP useBean Tag".
    Then, Oracle Jserv and OC4J also show the changes.
    To conclude, is there any difference between "JSP useBean Tag" and "Scriptlet"?
    Can't I use a scriptlet (to make a class) in Oracle Servlet Engine?
    Thanks.

    It could be as simple as the JSP not recompiling between java recompiles - ie, it compiles in the link to the old class.
    Try changing the JSP file (add and delete a space) after you change the java code, and then see what happens.

  • Is there any difference between the iPad and iPhone cables?

    Alot of people are mentioning that there's difference with the speed while syncronising/backup. I am just wondering is there any difference between the cables? and how can I distinguish it? Coz I have most of the i- products and I have just mixed up all the cables >__< Thank you!

    I can confirm that iPad/iPod cables are identical. Don't know about iPhone. IF there is a difference, you'll know immediately - function or functions won't work.
    There will be NO speed difference. Either the copper is present or it isn't and copper is copper.

  • Is there any difference between a US and a UK iPad Mini?

    I am able to get an iPad Mini with Retina (32GB) from an American Air base in the UK (my fatehr was in the Air Force) and it's slightly cheaper than getting a UK iPad Mini with Retina (32GB). Is there any difference (apart from the charger in the box) between the two?

  • Are there any differences between Server 2012 and Server 2012 R2 that might impact TFS or SQL server required for TFS?

    Hi,
    In the interest of just getting started and learning the basics of setting up TFS, I previously setup an IDE using a large workstation running Windows 8.  I set up the required servers for TFS using VM's through Hyper-V.  I am now transferring
    everything to a new and separate physical server.
    My question stems from a problem I had when I originally setup the TFS system the 1st time.  I couldn't get SQL server to work using the Server 2012 R2 download from the subscription center.  When I used Server 2012, it worked, so I proceeded that
    way just to get going.
    So now I'm setting things up anew on a new physical box, I want to ask up front, is there some difference in the R2 version that causes problems with either TFS or SQL server, or was there likely some oversight on my part when I did things the 1st time?
    As an addendum to my question, I always assumed R2 merely means the Server software has progressed to a refined state and is ready for wide distribution and easy setup.  I assumed that there are no differences between the Standard version and the R2
    version.  Is that understanding correct?
    Thanks.

    Hi Daniel,
    Thanks for your response.  That's a great link.  I don't recall seeing a page that is so clear and easy to read back when I was doing this the 1st time, but I probably just missed it.  That helps.
    I am/was using TFS2013 and VS2013.  As I recall, my problem was getting SQL Server to work, but I thought asking this question on this forum was wiser because I figured everyone using TFS would be well familiar with these issues.
    At any rate, it seems as though TFS2013 is fine with Server 2012 standard or R2.
    I was using SQL Server 2012, and it also seems as though it works on R2:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.110).aspx
    Anyway, thanks for your support.  I'll be trying this again and we'll see.

  • Is there any difference between java Beans and general class library?

    Hello,
    I know a Java Bean is just a java object. But also a general class instance is also a java object. So can you tell me difference between a java bean and a general class instance? Or are the two just the same?
    I assume a certain class is ("abc.class")
    Second question is is it correct that we must only use the tag <jsp:useBean id="obj" class="abc.class" scope="page" /> when we are writng jsp program which engage in using a class?Any other way to use a class( create object)? such as use the java keyword "new" inside jsp program?

    a bean is a Java class, but a Java class does not have to be a bean. In other words a bean in a specific Java class and has rules that have to be followed before you have a bean--like a no argument constructor. There are many other features of beans that you may implement if you so choose, but read over the bean tutorial and you'll see, there is a lot to a bean that is just not there for many of the Java classes.
    Second question: I'll defer to someone else, I do way to little JSP's to be able to say "must only[\b]".

    BO and SAP BO are both the same....recently the SAP took the BO and it is now the property of SAP....also in the future the BO is used in SAP BI for reporting purposes. But you need licensing for SAP BO.
