Living in Spain but buying Blackberry from Amazon UK

I live permanently in Spain but am considering buying a 8520 from Amazon in the UK because the prices are almost 50 percent less than they are here in Spain. If I put in my local Pay As You Go SIM card into my new Blackberry will everything function correctly. Sorry if this is a dumb question but what I know about mobiles can be written on a pin head.
Regards Colin

To make purchases from any Apple online stores you must use the store for the country in which you reside, if paying with a bank card it must be a verifiable card from a bank in the country where you live with a verifiable billing address in the country where you live.

  • Bought from Amazon, Phone Broke, now Blackberry Site says I did not buy it from Amazon

    I bought a Blackberry Classic from Amazon new in December. Sadly, it broke. When I go to Blackberry site to register for warranty repair, the site tells me that, based on the PIN, I did not buy the phone from Amazon. I have proof that I did with the dated order number.
    How can I contact Blackberry???

    I suggest you go back to Amazon and register with them for a Warranty Repair. If they will not repair it and instead direct you to BlackBerry, get Amazon to give you the BlackBerry contact details. Good luck!

  • I plug in my iPad to tv. Download videos play but streaming video from Amazon Prime only give sound. Thoughts?

    Is this an Apple vs Amazon thing?

    Sorry I'm new to this. I just read all the other posts and got my answer. Doesn't work apparently from Amazon.

  • Having a problem streaming video, but not audio, from Amazon Prime through Apple TV.

    I get the audio fine, but no picture when using AirPlay for Amazon Instant Video from iPhone or iPad. It worked before. I have AirPort Extreme and great connectivity.

    The app likely does not support AirPlay... contact Amazon and find out.

  • Purchased Student version from Amazon, key invalid.

    I wish I didn't buy it from amazon, but I wanted the extra money off as I am a student with barely any money. Anyway, the product key they provided me isn't working. What should I do? I'm about ready to tell amazon to give my money back for selling me a fake key.

    I will be surprised if amazon sold you a dodgy product.  Either you can't read the serial number or that you are not pressing the correct keys on your keyboard.
    The best you could do is to write down the serial number in a plain text file in Notepad and get it double checked by somebody in your family or ask your friend to read it for you.  when you are satisfied it is correct, all you need to do is to copy that serial number and paste it in the boxes at the time of installation or after you have finished installing the product.  The product can be installed without the serial number and you can run it in trial mode for 30 days until you have sorted out the number issues.
    Good luck.

  • Question regarding buying phone from Amazonwireless

    Hi, I have two questions regarding amazonwireless.
    I have a nationwide 700 family plan and my phone is eligible for an upgrade now.
    Amazonwireless has a good basic phone ( Samsung) that verizon don't have.  If I buy it from Amazon and extend contract for 2 more years, does this work? Will I be moved to new share all plan or keep my old family plan? Or is there a catch?
    My other question is the AmazonWireless Instant Discount Policy, if another line on my family plan upgrades to iphone in a few month ( when it's eligible for upgrade) and adds data plan ( we currently don't have any data plan), would this violate Amazon's policy since the contract is changed? I attached their policy below for reference.
    I know it's a long read, but thank you for helping!
    AmazonWireless Instant Discount Policy
    When you purchase your device with service from AmazonWireless.com, we automatically pass along an instant discount from the carrier to you.  This discount has been provided to you based on your agreement to (a) activate a new, or extend an existing, line of service for this device with the carrier, and (b) maintain this service in good standing for a minimum of 181 consecutive days.  If you do not activate or extend a line of service in connection with this device, or if your service is canceled/disconnected before 181 consecutive days, AmazonWireless.com will charge you $250 per device, plus applicable taxes.

    From the Amazon Wireless FAQ:
    I need a new phone, but my line isn't eligible for an upgrade. Another line in my family account is eligible. Can I get a new phone for my line by using the upgrade of the other line in my family account?
    While carriers may offer the option to swap upgrades between different lines on the same family account, this option isn't available through AmazonWireless. Phones purchased from AmazonWireless must remain on the line upgraded for 181 days. If you move the device to an alternate line within the first 181 days, you'd be subject toadditional charges by AmazonWireless of up to $250 (per phone), plus applicable taxes.

  • HT201335 No video when streaming from Amazon Instant Videos

    When I select the Airplay button from the Amazon Instant Video App on my iPad 4 it only sends the audio to the Apple TV, it does not play any video. The Apple TV is wired into the ethernet while of course the iPad is wireless; not sure if that has anything to do with it. What does it take to get this working. If the only thing I can stream is iTunes I've wasted $100 on this box.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Amazon blocks AirPlay. It's not the Apple TV that you wasted money on, but purchasing content from Amazon. Use the iTunes Store for your content.

  • MacBook and Applecare from Amazon

    Hi,
    I hope we have someone who has bought MBPro (or any Apple computer)from Amazon. I just cannot resist the deal from Amazon for MBP with $150 Rebate (new ones on back order). Question - If I buy this from Amazon, and buy Applecare (discounted at $299) how does that work. i.e. With being back ordered, MBP would arrive later than the warranty. Is there a timeframe that the warranty needs to be activated?
    Also, if there is a problem, do you return it to Amazon or Apple?
    Thanks,

    Apple doesn't care where you buy AppleCare from as long as you buy the AppleCare product that matches your computer. (If you have an iMac you buy AppleCare for iMacs, etc) What you get is a little box with a hardware diagnostics disk in it and a leaflet with a registration number. You go online to Apple's website and register AppleCare to your computer. A few weeks later you'll get a confirmation letter from Apple.
    Just to ease your mind here, while I work for an Apple reseller and get an employee discount, I am almost always able to find AppleCare at a lower price at eBay or other reseller. If you buy from an eBay dealer, just be sure you are dealing with a reputable supplier. I've never had any trouble registering AppleCare for my notebooks nor have I had any trouble getting warranty repairs.

  • Can I edit the "purchased" playlist to track songs from Amazon?

    My smart playlist for "purchased" songs is set to track "purchased AAC" or "protected AAC." This picks up everything from Itunes but nothing purchased from Amazon. Is there a way to edit to retrieve those tracks as well?
    Thanks.

    You need to be able to add criteria to a smart playlist that will be unique to those tracks if you want to pick them up automatically.
    Correct. Music from Amazon is not DRM-protected so iTunes sees it no differently from any other DRM-free media file. Music you purchase from the iTunes Store is in a specific format, protected AAC, so you can filter than content.

  • How can i buy films from App store spain wenn i'm living in Switzerland? Or how can i buy films in original version with subtiltes?

    How can i buy films from App store spain wenn i'm living in Switzerland? Or how can i buy films in original version with subtiltes?
    Do i need diferents id for each App store? I speak spanish, german and english and i would like to be able to buy films in each diferent language.
    I also have € from a card from App Store Spain that i cannot use because i only have acces to App store switzerland. Can anybody help me? Thanks a lot

    You need to be in a country to buy from its store, so whilst you are in Switzerland you can only use the Swiss store - you will need to be in Spain to use the Spanish store.
    On each film's description page in the store there should be a list of the language(s) and/or subtitles that it has on it e.g. here in the UK one of the new releases, Svengali, has listed on its description page :
    If there is a particular film that you would like to buy in a particular language that is not currently available in the Swiss store then you can try requesting that it be added, but unless the Swiss rights-holder for the film agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    All iTunes gift cards are country-specific, so you will only be able to redeem and use the Spanish gift card when you are in Spain with a Spanish billing address on your account.

  • I cannot download pay games, only free games. My ipod was bought from Amazon uk on a uk credit card but we live in Spain. How do I complete a purchase?

    When we try to download a PAY game onto the ipod touch a message comes up, your purchase could not be completed. I bought the ipod from Amazon UK on our UK credit card but we live and use in Spain. How can I get PAY downloads?

    Location of Purchase, and method of purchase of the device is not important.
    You have to make sure the Apple ID you are using in the device has a payment method associated with it that is from the Country or Region the Apple ID is set to.
    Check in Settings->iTunes & App Store->Apple ID->View Apple ID->Country/Region and make sure you have a credit card for that Country/Region set under Payment Information
    You can only legally buy content from the Apple Store of the country you are physically in.

  • Im from Spain, but If Im in US and I buy the new Iphone 5, I dont know If later I could use it in Spain?

    Im from Spain, but If Im in US and I buy the new Iphone 5, I dont know If later I could use it normally in Spain?
    There are some problems now? Or forever?
    Thanks

    Currently, the iPhones available in the U.S. are locked to american carriers so they cannot be used with other carriers anywhere else.
    An Unlocked version of the iPhone should be released some time soon, though no actual date has been given yet.
    The Unlocked phone should let you use a sim from any carrier in the phone and have it work.
    However, it is up to the cell carriers in Spain wether or not they have Nano sims for sale to be used with an iPhone 5.  If they do you may be able to purchase an unlocked Phone and use a sim card from a carrier in spain.
    Talk to your carrier first to make sure they have Nano sims available for purchase.

  • HT1879 I'm living in Ukraine,  but only have a card from US.  I'd like to buy a Ukraine app

    I'm living in Ukraine,  but only have a card from US.  I'd like to buy a Ukraine app

    You won't be able to use a US credit card or gift card on your account - if it is a credit card then it needs to have been issued by a Ukrainian bank and be registered to the name and address that you have on your iTunes account ; if it's a US gift card then they can only be used in the US on US iTunes accounts.

  • Hi, I'm living in the US for a while but I just have french credit cards, how can I buy App from the App Store US??

    Hi, I'm living in the US for a while but I just have french credit cards, how can I buy App from the App Store US??

    You need a payment method associated with the country you are in.  I would purchases an iTunes Gift card in the USA and use that as your payment method and then delete the card from the account.  You may also have the change the addess in your iTunes aaccount t a USA account.
