Moving to another country and bringing the iphone

Hi,
I bought an iPhone 3G in Venezuela in January. There you are not tied to a contract but the cell is locked. If I move to US or Canada and I want to use the iPhone how can I do?
I have reviewed several Q/A and according to the link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937 in Venezuela there is not "Carrier offers
authorized unlocking"
Thanks!

If your iPhone was sold as carrier locked with the designated carrier for the iPhone in Venezuela, your iPhone remains carrier locked with the designated carrier in Venezuela regardless if you purchased the iPhone under contract or on a pay-as-you-go basis.
If your iPhone was sold as carrier locked with the designated carrier in Venezuela and it sounds like it was, you need to contact that carrier regarding if they are willing to unlock your iPhone for you. If not, you won't be able to use the iPhone with another carrier's SIM card in another country.

  • HT1918 I moved to another country and would like to change the billing country for the credit card. It doesn't allow me to switch the country only street etc.. Do I have to create a new account separately for a new country?

    Nope. You can only have one credit card attached to an account at a time. Its not that big of a deal to use two accounts, users do this all the time. Create the second account(UK Account) in iTunes on your computer...sign out of your Italian account first. Then authorize your computer for this new account: Store>Authorize this computer. Then sync your phone. Now, to switch accounts on your phone: Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...then sign back in with the ID you want to use.

  • HT1918 Hi, I have moved to another country and am trying to change my itunes account to my new country. But I have a small purchase from my previous itunes country and am unable to change the country setting, as I need to settle the outstanding amount.

    I am trying to change my itunes account country as I have moved to another country. But the account is not letting me change as I have a small amount outstanding on my previous account, which I am trying to settle using my new credit card.
    How can I settle the payment and change country?

    Before you try that... have a look at Changing the Country here...

  • HT1918 What do you do when you have moved to another country?

    My credit info has changed after moving to another country and my current itunes account will only accept US information. I went to Itunes canada and changed my info, but when I try to purchase, Itunes opens and the info is US and cannot be changed to Canada.

  • NO SERVICE ON iPhone 5 AFTER 7.1.1 UPDATE - (showing all the steps I made just to try and bring the signal of my carrier back) HELP!

    Hi there, I did an iOS update for my iPhone 5 model: MD300ZP/A (FACTORY UNLOCKED)
    After the update through iTunes. I restored my phone from the back up. I noticed that the signal bars for my carrier (Globe Telecom - Philippines) we're abnormally low. I tried calling my wife and it didn't push through. Tried a text message and it did not send. I had 2 bars of signal in a place where I normally have full coverage. My LTE and 3G works though.
    After this I decided to;
    1. Reset the network settings and nothing happened. Still no signal.
    2. Put into airplane mode - waited 5-10 secs and turned off airplane mode. Still no signal.
    3. Turned off 3G/LTE - waited a few secs. - Still no signal. - Turned it on again. Still no signal.
    4. Did another full restore and update. Still no signal.
    5. Another full restore and update to new iPhone (not restoring from my back up). Still no signal.
    6. Put the iPhone on recovery mode - Plugged into to itunes. Made a restore from back up. Still no Signal.
    7. Did No. 6 again and DID NOT restore from back up and set up as new iPhone. Still no signal.
    8. Did another recovery mode and then restore. Ejected the phone and restored from iCloud. Still no signal.
    9. Did another recovery mode and then restore. Ejected the phone and set up as new iPhone. GOT A SIGNAL! But still did not let me push through calls and text messages. Then the signal went away.
    In between these steps I would get a "Update Carrier settings" window. I would see that and then click update then observe the phone. Nothing happens. Still no signal.
    In between those steps again I would choose not to "Update the Carrier settings" and then the iPhone would carry a signal and then I will try to call but nothing happens once again.
    10. I tried putting in other carrier sims and ONE worked - (Smart Telecom - Philippines) the other did not (SUN - Philippines).
    11. Tried putting in my wifes sim (same as what didn't work for me) (GLOBE - Philippines) Still did NOT WORK.
    12. Tried putting the sim that doesn't work on my updated phone to my wifes iPhone 5 which was still on 7.1 ONLY - AND IT WORKED.
    13. Called my carrier and still nothing they have told me has helped.
    now my iPhone is stuck on no service when I input the carrier sim that I have been using on it for a year now. Never jailbroken nor unlocked by a 3rd party software.
    Anything I missed???

    I I bought an iphone 4s factory unlocked. Can i set it up with my sim card in canada then take it out and bring the phone to iran without any problems?

    A legitimately unlocked iPhone should work with any compatible 3G GSM carrier. The iPhone, however, is considered 'restricted technology, and cannot be legally taken to Iran.
