Out in the Country

Has anyone tried to improve 4G Wireless modem with an antenna such as the one in my profile pic? The usaable distance from device is also very short too, don't you think? Would appreciate any advice. I'm in a basement and cannot move computer fromn it's current location ( wrong end of house for better reception ) . Thanks, Elmer

Hey Elmer~
I have never seen that particular antenna and I thought I had seen them all. If you want to get 4G in the basement, you most likely will need some kind of external antenna. Maybe even a signal booster or repeater. Make sure your modem has an external antenna jack....if it dosen't, then an antenna won't work for you, you will have to go with a signal booster or repeater.

I recently thought I lost my iPhone and I erased it but now that I found it. I cannot get the this iPhone message is lost please call ********* I am out of the country my laptop is at home. I cannot access I tune. How do I fix this. I need to get it back on so I can face time with my family. The phone says 3G but it keeps saying on list mode. I signed on icloud and removed it from the account and nothing. Please help!

If you removed the device from your iCloud account rather than using the "Stop Lost Mode" option, then you will most certainly need to restore the iPhone, and that will require a computer running iTunes.

My wife and I want to swap her 4s for my 4 while a take a short trip out of the country. We use the same email address for itunes but different for email. Can we just change our phone numbers and email addresses so we get our own messages?

My wife and I want to swap her iphone 4s for my iphone 4 while I take a short trip out of the country. We use the same itunes account but have different email accounts. Can we just change our phone numbers with our carrier and change email addresses on our phones so we get correct messages, with out disturbing our other apps?

The email is simple. Just delete her email acoount on her iPhone and configure your account into the phone and then do the same for her on your phone.
The harder issue is that to switch the cellular phone service you will need to switch the SIM cards and the two phones do not use the same size SIM card.

Can I have my iPhone 5 serviced out of the country of purchase?

I have two iPhone 5's, mine (Model: MD298DN/A, Serial: C3*******TWF, iOS: 7.1.2) and my wife's (Model: MD297DN/A, Serial: C3*******TWD, iOS: 7.1.2), both are eligible for the Battery and Sleep Button Replacement Programs. I work for the US Department of State and move every two to three years. The phones were purchased November of 2012 in Frankfurt, Germany, while I was posted there; however, I am currently posted to Bangkok, Thailand, with no plans to return to Germany. I just brought my phones into a service center in Thailand and was informed that I would have to return to Germany or have permission from Apple, to have the service performed out of the country of original purchase. Could you please issues this permission for both phones? Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

Do not post your serial numbers on this public website. Had you read the terms of this forum, you would know not to do that, and also know that Apple doesn't review these forums.
Edit: Additionally, the first serial number you provided isn't a valid Apple Serial number. The second one is. I assume that's a typo on your part.

Make sure data roaming and cellular data is turned off. If you don't want to receive calls or SMS then put your phone in airplane mode and reactivate WiFi

I have an SIII and will be traveling out of the country. Do I need to get a micro SIM card ? (I was told that Verizon has them for free but it needs to be set up and there was a charge for this.

I have a Samsung SIII and will be traveling out of the country. Do I need to get a micro SIM card instaslled for international ? I was told Verizon has them free for customers but that it needs to be "sert up". Also, are there alternatives to going through the verizon data plan (which is very expensive.
Thanks

Your phone already has a micro SIM card in the device so it can connect to the VZW network. You will need an international plan from VZW if you intend to use that SIM card. Otherwise you can get a new SIM card from the local carrier and setup the phone for global use with a separate APN with that carrier's specific information.

Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
You'll find it here :
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
where ~ is your Home directory.
If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".

When using imessage with another iphone user, is it still free to message them if they're out of the country?

my friend is out of the country, and he wants use imessage, but i dont know if it will give me charges to my account and apple doesnt mention if it's only unlimited messaging within the country

iMessage uses data, just like an email, if I can use that analogy. It will not count as SMS, however I have read somewhere where some people have reported getting SMS charges when using iMessage. I believe it is impossible though, unless the message does not go through and you have send as SMS checked in settings if the iMessage fails.

How can I view the iMessages that were sent to me while I was out of the country?

How can I view the iMessages that were sent to me while I was out of the country? They never loaded, but people have told me that they sent me many iMessages while I was gone.
I figured they would load when I turned on my cellular data, but only my text messages loaded. I would like to see the iMessages I missed because I believe some of them were fairly important.
I would really appreciate somebody's help!

As far as I understand with this, iMessage works the same as regular txts.The iMessages are held on the messaging server for 72hrs if it's not picked up by then it expires. So those that you didn't get you will never get. Sorry.

Is AirPort a cellular connection that can be used out in the country?

Can the AirPort be used out in the country?

If you are saying that you only have celllular service, you will need an adapter like the example shown below to be able to connect an AirPort Extreme.

Make sure that the device you choose will support your cellular service before you buy any product.

I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

Thank you very much for your insight; I guess I had assummed that iPads/iPhones/iPods were here in Brazil and further assumed that the iTunes store would also be available.

I paid early termination fee two months ago to Verizon and am now out of the country. Am trying to unlock the phone but the local guys say they are not able to. I see from the blog here that iPhone 5 comes unlocked. Is it true?? Do I still have to unlock.

Thank you for reaching out to us, Texasman. Sad to see that
you have left the VZW family, but it is definitely awesome to be able to
travel! Regarding your iPhone 5, the phone is unlocked for international usage.
Just need an active local SIM card that is compatible with your iPhone. Your local provider
may need to configure some settings under Cellular, but it should pick up signal. Just in
case, make sure that Settings>Cellular>Roaming>Voice & Data are
active.

My daugter is out of the country and can't connect to WiFi

My daughter is out of the country and can't connect to WiFi or make any calls. We added International Calling to her phone plan. While she was in the airport in the US the problem started, and continued once she reached her destination. Verizon can't figure out what the problem is, and I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

How come i cant use my iphone out of the country?

do i need anything special to make my iphone to work out of the country?

Well, yes. Verizon's network is CDMA, most of the other networks in the world are GSM. So the hardware will not work anywhere there is not a CDMA network. I think there are about 40 countries that have CDMA networks in addition to GSM. Verizon should have the list on their web site. In addtion, the phone is locked to Verizon, so anywhere you go you will be paying roaming rates, which will quickly bankrupt you.
If you take the phone with you turn off Cellular Data and use only WiFi hotspots. You will not be able to make or receive phone calls, but in most countries you can buy a cheap phone ($10-$20) and pay as you go SIM to make phone calls. If you want to receive phone calls also sign up for a free Google Voice account and set it to forward to your temporary GSM phone.
