Oversea buyer using credit card in Apple store??

Dear Apple,
          May I ask a question?? I am a fan of Apple who live in Taiwan. iPhone 5 has just been announced and I love this product very much.I decide to buy one. However, Taiwan have not started to sell it. So, I ask one of my friend who live in California. She told me the Apple store can buy iPhone 5 but I live in Taiwan. Could my friend using my credit card to purchase it?? I meant I will give her the card information then she goes to the Apple store to fill out the fourm?? Is this way to be acceptable?? Thank you very much.  

And all iPhone 5s currently sold in the US are locked to a specific US carrier and, at least by most reports, come with a two-year contract with the carrier. Apple has not announced when unlocked iPhone 5s will be available in the US. So you could not use such an iPhone in Taiwan in any case.  US-sold iPhones would also get no service in Taiwan, should service ever be needed.
I'd suggest that you just be patient and wait for the iPhone 5 to be released in Taiwan.
Regards.

    Credit cards do need to be from the same country as your account, which may or may not apple, but if you're visiting from another country and trying to use, for example, a UK card in the US app store, it won't work.
    Could you have typo'd a number? Or could the card be expired?

    Is this a visa gift card? I seem to recall people having issues with credit card gift cards.

    I would like to inquire about how I could have my iPad 2 repaired or replaced. I bought it With a credit card via apple store website last June 19 of this year. At first, I already noticed a little white spot in the middle of the screen visible when the display on screen is dark. I thought this was okay. Now, My problem with it is that, it now has green discolorations at the center whenever the screen display is black or dark I.e. When a website's color is black or dark or whenever I go to the search interface.
    I am from the Philippines.
    Please attend to this inquiry as promptly as possible. I'm sorry I have to send it here since I cannot see any email or inquiry page on the apple website. I also cannot reach the toll free number on my mobile phone.
    Thank you very much.

    This is how you apply for special credit account to buy Apple products (http://store.apple.com/us/browse/finance/instant_credit_page).  You need to qualify according to their rules.  Reports are it is not an actual credit card you can use for other purchases later.
    Or you can use your existing credit card.

    Hello Spennetrator94,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning payment information. Removing the payment information from your Apple ID will remove the data from the various stores.
    Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)

    how to create an apple id without using credit card.. i have recently purchased apple iphone 3gs bt unable to get apps because of giving credit card info which i dnt hav.. so plz tel me some way to process..

    To get the none option, sign out of anything apple you're signed into. Go to the app store and try to download a free app, any free app. Instead of signing in, take the option to to make a new apple ID. Then go through the steps to make the ID and you'll see the 'none' option.
