My mom sent me an iphone 4s from the usa how can i activated in israel

they told her it will work worlwide
how can activate it in israel

If officially unlocked, put a local activated sim in the phone, turn it on & follow the on screen prompts. If your phone is not officially unlocked, it won't activate & you'll get an error message. You'll find out pretty quick whether it is officially unlocked or not...you could also look on the box...any carrier name listed? Did your phone come with a sim card pre-installed? If any of those things are true, you don't have an officially unlocked iPhone. Might as well send it back before you go any further.

    Only if he bought it new from an Apple store and the receipt shows that it was purchased as "unlocked".

  • From the USA, how can I purchase a gift card or certificate to give to someone to redeem in the iTunes store of a foreign country?

    From the USA, how can I purchase a gift card or certificate to give to someone to redeem in the iTunes store of a foreign country?

    No, it means you switch from the US store to the other store. Afterwards you just switch back to the US store. You can theoretically have accounts in many different iTunes stores. Switching is simply logging out of one and logging into another after switching countries. There's a switch country link at the bottom of the iTunes Store.
    Personally, it seems it would be much simpler to send a check to all of your friends. Far less trouble than trying to open bank accounts and get credit cards from different countries unless you frequently travel to them and don't mind maintaining cash balances in different banks across the world. Not to mention getting credit cards. Here in Vancouver they won't give me a credit card unless I maintain a $5,000.00 minimum balance in my Canadian checking account. If I did that I'd hardly have much need for the charge card.

    It read it already, but it did not mention about the country. I can saw "Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in China". but it does not mean that the iPhone comes from US or China. I mean that what model come from which country. thanks for your help anyway.

    Contact the current carrier and ask.

  • If I purchase an unlocked iPhone 5 from the USA, would I be able to use the phone in Australia?

    If I purchase an unlocked iPhone 5 from the USA, would I be able to use the phone in Australia?

    Yes - unlocked means unlocked, but if there is a problem that requires an exchange under warranty, the warranty would be honored in the US only. You would need to return to the US for an exchange under warranty.

    You can buy a factory unlocked on direct from Apple sim free, make sure you get the right one and not just a contract free one.  I am sure  one of our US members will be able to give you the price.

  • I have brought an iphone 4 from the usa.

    hi there i brought iphone 4 from the usa of a friend but how do i get my 02 sim card to work? thanks

    As Wjosten says it is locked to AT&T and they will not unlock it.  Even though o2 unlock iphones they can only do this with phones originating from them.  So, yes the phone is not able to be officially unlocked.

  • If i buy iphone 5 from the usa can i take it back and use it with my UK O2 sim card and how much will a 16gb iphone 5 cost

    Hi,
    if i buy iphone 5 from the usa can i take it back and use it with my UK O2 sim card and also how much will a 16gb iphone 5 cost in the usa?
    thanks

    hi there,
    you could buy it somewhere in Europe. I know Apple sells them unlocked here in Germany and if I am not mistaken also (among others) in France and Italy.
    Yet, as Peter wrote, the warranty can become a problem. Not sure whether a one country only rule goes for the European Community as well though.
    As for the price, the 16 GB model costs 679,- € (equals roughly 550 £). Currently there is an average delivery time of 4 to 5 weeks.
    LTE connections will not work with Orange or Vodafone. Only EE is about to offer a compatible LTE network. DC-HSPA and regular HSPA+ will work fine.
    regards, Chris

    What do you mean by 'refusing from the system', if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
    For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is and if you are getting a 'declined' message then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If when trying to download you are getting a message about a 'problem with a previous purchase' then that implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase. If that is the case then you won't be able to download anything else (including app updates) until you've paid off what you owe : Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    If you aren't getting the 'problem with a previous purchase' message then try logging into your account (not when trying to download something) and see if you get the 'none' option so that you can remove the card's details and be able to download updates to your apps : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

  • Can i use a Iphone 4s from the USA in Germany like a german one?

    I´m from germany and want to buy a IPhone 4s in the USA. Is it the same software like here in germany and can i use it here, like a german one?

    Assuming you want to use a German sim you must buy an unlocked iPhone4S from an Apple Retail store
    However they are not YET  available unlocked anything else will be locked to a US carrier
    Other postings indicate availability in November iirc

  • I received a Iphone 4 from the Usa to the Uk

    bascally I received it from the Usa and when I insert my tmobile sim card it wont work and I dont have that AT&T sim card to activate my iphone any help?
    how can I skip the activation?

    Your phone is locked to AT&T and you will not be able to use it with anyother SIM. AT&T will not unlock an iPhone for any reason. Best to sell the phone and get an unlocked version if that is what you need.

  • Can i buy an Iphone 5 from the USA if I live in Ireland?

    Hi I was just wondering am i able to buy an iphone 5 or iphone 4s unlocked from apple online or in store in America and will it still work if it is brought to Ireland?

    You can not buy an iPhone from Apple online in the US unless you have a U.S. issued credit card and a US shipping/billing address.
    If you want to physically come to the US, you can buy one at any Apple Store.
    The warranty will not be valid outside of the US.  It will not work with LTE networks outside of the US. If you need out of warranty service, you will not be able to get it outside of the US.  You will not be able to ship the phone to Apple in the US for service. You will have to physically carry it back to the US, or you will have to send it to someone you know in the US to take it in for service.
