Planning to buy iPhone 4 in UK... any way to use in US?

I'm planning to buy an iPhone 4 in the UK, but will be spending 6 months in the US next year on business. Will there be any way to get a US sim card when I arrive in the States, and swap the UK sim card out? And if I do this, would I be locked in to a long contract?
Sorry, I'm a total novice on this as you've already guessed Thanks for your advice.

Actually AT&T do have prepaid. However unless you bought an unlocked phone you would be stuck with roaming and other SIM cards will not work. The iPhone4 has a micro SIM which may be a problem for the prepaid plans - i dont know if AT&T have a deal with a micro. BTW - you may need to buy a phone and pull its SIM to use prepaid. Thats what I did for my parents visiting from Australia. Its like $50 and you get $40 worth of calls / DATA that you can recharge. DATA plans are quite reasonable also. No contract required

    whether to buy 4S or wait for 5? now i have money in my hand..so want to purchase now only..because later money goes off means it ll be sad for me..

    Apple have not announced the release on the next generation iPhone so it's difficult to suggest you wait as no one here knows how long you would have to wait.

  • HT4623 I have lost my Iphone is there any way to track it?

    I have lost my Iphone is there any way to track it?

    The only way to locate any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

  • I was planning to buy Iphone 4 32gb Japan locked here in Philippines

    I was planning to buy Iphone 4 32gb Japan locked here in Philippines.
    Question is:
    1. Can I still download apps from appstore?
    2. Can I sync my IP to my desktop(ITunes) so I can add pictures/vids/songs?
    3. What are the restrictions of a locked IP?
    I just want to use it like ITouch.

    You can also do all that with iPod touch.
    You have been warned, so it's up to you to decide. Good luck.

  • The hard drive on my laptop died, so i have lost all my music. It is saved on my iphone, is there any way to transfer it across onto my new laptop? Or does itunes keep a record of my purchases?

    The hard drive on my laptop died, so i have lost all my music. It is saved on my iphone, is there any way to transfer it across onto my new laptop? Or does itunes keep a record of my purchases?

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

    If your profile is somewhat correct:
    Are you sure you have IOS 4.3? Check Settings > General > About > to find out.
    If you do, you have iPhone 3GS an not iPhone 3G which is eligible to update to 6.1.3.
    Instagram app needs IOS5 or later.

    Hello. I live in Turkey. My friend will go to Russia in 1 week. He will buy iphone 5 from there, can he use it in Turkey ? Will be any problem? Is it unlock sim? Waiting answer as soon as possible please.

    You can't. You need a verified billing address in the US in order to order from the US online store. And, whatever you order will only be shipped to a US address.

    What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
    This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

    It pays to be proactive by following the advice on using Find My Phone before you lose your device:
      1. Find My iPhone
      2. Setup your iDevice on iCloud

  • I bought an LG phone and a $35 dollar plan card. Less than a week later it said I was out of time for texts. Apparently it only gave me minutes, not the plan I wanted. Is there any way I can get the plan without paying again?

    I bought an LG phone and a $35 dollar plan card. Less than a week later it said I was out of time for texts. Apparently it only gave me minutes, not the plan I wanted. Is there any way I can get the plan without paying again?

    So you bought a plan and used it all and want another one for free? I understand you thought it had more texts or whatnot but they won't do that since you already used the other plan.
    That's like going to McDonalds and ordering a double cheeseburger, them giving you a double cheeseburger, you eating it and then realizing you wanted a double quarter pounder and expecting them to give it to you free.

    If you have a backup of your computer, here's the location of the iTunes backup folder:
    Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data is stored depends on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.

  • Any way to use filter to exclude tables in navagation pane?

    Is there any way to use filter to exclude a set of tables from the table list in the navagation pane? I have a number of tables (15+) starting with the same prefix eg. AB123 that I would like eliminate from the list. They sort right to the top and I always have to scroll down, and go through the show more dialog to see the entire list.
    I am sure I'm missing something, but not sure what. Help Center has nothing to offer.
    Thanks
    Glenn

    This has been mentioned on the forum before - basically the need for more elaborate ways to filter (multiple conditions as well as 'not like'). It is on our list for future consideration, meaning post-production.

  • Is there any way to use -useLegacyAOT option in FlashBuilder 4.6?

    I need to build my ipa with old version of Engine because i have some problems about loading images from outside. Since with Air 15 it is default engine, and i cannot quit Air 15 because of the iTunes specs. I cannot add -useLegacyAOT=yes to compiler options on Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 because it seems that it can be added at FB4.7.
    So is there any way to add this options when i am using FB4.6
    Thanks in advance.
