Iphone 4 from canada if it works in qatar?

I have an iphone 4 from canada.. can i use it here in qatar? or is there any available software that i can open it in qatar?

Your iPhone is carrier locked with a carrier in Canada and if so, your iPhone is activated with which carrier in Canada?
With AT&T in the U.S., international roaming must be activated for your line/number with AT&T before you are able to roam internationally with AT&T.
If your iPhone is carrier locked with a carrier in Canada, have you contacted the carrier in Canada to confirm if international roaming is enabled for your line/number with the carrier in Canada?

You can't.

Two questions.1)If I plan to buy an unlocked iPhone 5 from Canada will the 4G work in Egypt although mobile operators haven't launched it yet? 2)Once the iPhone 5 is launched here,will the unlocked iPhone that i purchased from Canada work?

Locked iPhone 3g from Vodafone

My brother bought locked iPhone 3g from Vodafone Egypt and now he won’t to move to another carrier,
but iPhone is locked to Vodafone Egypt
and they say we are not authorized to unlock your iPhone to all carriers.
How can I unlock my brother iPhone even if I will pay fees?

Julian,
I think he wanted to say they are expected to offer phone official unlock since Vodafone Egypt sells Iphones at the full price of the factory unlocked units sold in many other countries.
I am in the same boat as he is; however I took an extra step and discussed this with Vodafone Egypt; since the phone I bought from them is about 4 years old now and of course I moved to a newer one (factory unlocked this time ) and I am still their customer anyways.
Vodafone Egypt responded they don't mind unlocking the phone (as an exception since they don't officially offer this option); however they said they don't have the software needed to perform the unlock, they suggested I should contact Apple directly and they will be more than happy to authorize the unlock if contacted by apple.
Now Apple, can you help with this one ?

Buying iPhone 4 from Canada Apple Retail Store

Hi
I am from India and I am visiting Canada in Jan. I plan to buy the unlocked iPhone 4 from the Apple Retail Store in Vancouver. Though I am aware that the unlocked Phone is available at the Apple ONLINE store, I'm not sure if the unlocked version is available in the retail store. Would they ask me for any address proof?

Are you aware that Apple will only provide support for a Canadian-sold iPhone in Canada? If you have a problem with your iPhone that would require warranty service, you'd have to ship the iPhone back to someone in Canada to take or send it to Apple and then have that person ship it back to you.
Far better to just buy your iPhone from an authorized seller in India, even if it will be higher in price. That way you will be able to get local support and service. If you want an iPhone 4, I'd strongly suggest that you wait for it to be officially released in India.
Regards.

Factory Unlocked iPhone 4 from Canada not working overseas

Hi all, I'm looking for help.
I purchased a Factory unlocked iPhone 4 in Canada for the purpose of selling it on eBay (to help offset the cost of my own iPhone 4 purchase). It was purchased from an Apple Store in Toronto.
The buyer is in Ireland, he got the phone, put in his 02 micro-sim and gets the following message: "The SIM Card inserted in this phone does not appear to be supported." He has 2 micro-sim cards and both did not work.
Has anyone encountered anything like this? Are there limitations to how unlocked these phones truly are? Any advice or thoughts on a solution?
Any help would be appreciated, I've called the Apple support many times, and they tend to not be very aware of how their own factory unlocked phones work.

This is how I Think it works in canada for the iPhone 4 Factory Unlocked this info is from the apple web site about the I phone 4 is Factory Unlocked only from the Apple web store online only I think.
this is the info that I copied from the Apple web store site I hope this helps you.
Here is a link to the info on the Apple Store Canada web Site

Buy your iPhone from  Apple commitment-free.
It works with the carrier of your choice.  _*Buy your iPhone from the Apple Online Store*_
_*and choose your own GSM carrier.*_ *_You can change carriers at any time._*
It’s easy to set up. Get a compatible SIM (iPhone 3GS) or micro-SIM card (iPhone 4) and select a plan from the carrier of your choice. Then insert the card and set up your iPhone using iTunes on your Mac or PC. With a few clicks, you can start making calls.
It works internationally. Because this iPhone is commitment-free, you can purchase a micro-SIM or SIM card and service from a local carrier at your destination. Or check with your home carrier regarding international roaming charges.

IPhone 4 from Canada doesn't work in Europe

My iPhone is registered in Canada and detect 3 carriers but doesn't connect to them so my phone is useless when I'm in Switzerland. However, i have an other phone and it works very well. I Would appreciate any help to get this resolved. (enable 3G, cellular data and data roaming have been set to "on". Software upgrades are uptodate as of 12/5/10. I have not experienced this problem while in Canada). Thanks.

Your iPhone is carrier locked with a carrier in Canada and if so, your iPhone is activated with which carrier in Canada?
With AT&T in the U.S., international roaming must be activated for your line/number with AT&T before you are able to roam internationally with AT&T.
If your iPhone is carrier locked with a carrier in Canada, have you contacted the carrier in Canada to confirm if international roaming is enabled for your line/number with the carrier in Canada?

Issues regarding a purchase of Iphone 6 from Canada and taking to India

Hi!
I am a resident of india.
I am currently in Calgary, Canada till 12th October and planning to buy iphone 6 space Grey (16GB) unlocked from here because in India it won't be launched before November for sure. (I can't wait till then).
Will there be any problem in using it with indian carriers considering signal band or any other specification.
And what about the Warranty related issues? Can it be repaired in India under warranty if some hardware or software problem comes up?
If not, then is it possible to purchase warranty in India from apple by paying some amount?
And even if this is not possible, does Apple store in India repairs iphone (in warranty) by billing the exact cost required to repair?
How likely can a software or hardware problem can come up?
Note : I have no prior experiance with apple and this is the first iphone I'll be buying.
Thanks in advance fr any reply.

LTE might not work as this is not guaranteed.

Hard to tell. But Apple iPhones are usually very good. But problems do crop up now and then.
India it won't be launched before November for sure. (I can't wait till then).
It might be a good idea to wait.

Locked iPhone 4s from US

Hello there, have bought iphone4s from US and is locked to VERIZON network. Tried to get it unlocked here in the UK in many shops but noone want to do it. Can anybody help me? THS

No can help you. Only the carrier a phone is locked to can inititate the unlock, so you would have to take this up with Verizon.
Also, the Verizon is a CDMA phone, and the CDMA radio will not be unlocked. Verizon can unlock the GSM radio so you can use a non-Verizon SIM card and service, but again, you need to contact Verizon about that as only they can do it.

Hi. If i buy an unlocked iphone from canada. Will i be able to use it in Mauritius Island on network Orange?

Hi,
I live in Mauritius Island. My brother wants to send me an unlocked iphone 5s from CANADA as a gift, but i am unsure if i wil be able to use it here. Can you help? We use Orange here.

Not sure that they are selling unlocked phones in Canada. Mostly, the Canadian phones are carrier locked and the Canadian carrier do not offer unlocking, with Bell being the main one.
It might work, but this would only be on 3G because you have to remember the frequency differences and phones built in Canada were designed to work in Canada with the Canadian carriers/networks.
Also be aware that warranty for the iPhone is not international, so if anything goes wrong with the phone and you need help, you'll have to physically go back to Canada or post the phone back to your brother in Canada, but not directly to Apple.

Hi, my boyfriend send me iphone4s from canada as a birthday gift last year. my problem was my wifi button on my 4s doesnt work for almost 4mos.and they dont have any apple service center here in the philippines. please help me for the remedy. thanks alot

my boyfriend send me an iphone 4s from canada last march 2012. my problem is the wifi button of my 4s doesnt work since May this year. unfortunately here in the philippines there's no apple service center available.help me what to do so that i can use wifi again from my fone. thanks alot!

First, try the steps Apple has here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
If those do not help, your iPhone may well need service. You will not be able to get a Canadian iPhone serviced by Apple in the Philippines. You will need to send the iPhone back to your boyfriend or someone else in Canada who can get it serviced there and then send it back to you.
Regards.

I bought Unlock iPhone 5 from canada but it is not working in india

If it is an unlocked iPhone then it should work. Have you inserted a local sim card?
Other than that and because the warranty is country specific, you'll have to get on a plane back to Canada and return the phone there.
