Purchase iPhone in Australia for use in UK?

Hello,
Im currently living in Australia for a year (studying abroad) and my old iPhone 4 is on it's last legs. I am looking to buy a new iphone (maybe the new model ) whilst out here. I will buy it unlocked from Apple directly and use a sim only contract whilst out here. When I return to the UK will it work as usual? are they are features that wouldnt work or will it all be fine as it is still using a GsM network and will be unlocked?
MAny thanks for your help!

As has already been pointed out, yes the phone will work, but due to frequency differences, you may find that you can't get 4G with the UK networks, but the phone will work okay with 3G and also you will have no warranty cover in the UK for a phone that you have purchased in Australia.
If you are okay with no warranty cover and only a 3G service, then that is okay and the phone will work.
Your best option is to buy yourself a cheap phone for use for the rest of your stay in Australia and then buy yourself a new iPhone once you return to the UK if this is the main place that you intend to use it.

    Yet in the 3rd post the OP asked a question not covered by the 2nd post and discussed in subsequent posts...  Maybe instead of overlooking the details of the conversation and posting unsolicited "advice" to the rest of us, you should post something useful to the OP.

  • Purchased Lightroom educator version for use on Mac with Yosemite and it won't open.  It crashes overtime I try to open it.

    I purchased Lightroom for use on a MAC using the new operating system of Yosemite, and it crashes every time it tries to open.  I have removed and reinstalled it, but it does not help.  Is this program mac compatible?  How can I get it to work?

    This should not be so difficult, and really does not require a screenshot, or a chain of a dozen email.
    The message says “Lightroom quit unexpectedly.  Click report to send a report to apple.”  There is no error number or any other message.  That is it. 
    It has been installed, removed and reinstalled.
    IT DOES NOT OPEN.
    How do I resolve this.  I have now spent hours on this issue and I am in the same place.

  • Purchasing and Licensing Fonts for use in Book (Garamond Pro)

    I'm planning to design a book in InDesign and I'd like to use Adobe's Garamond with all of its special extras (titling capitals, small caps, italic alternates etc.)
    I was about to buy the font package at myfonts.com, then sign up for InDesign, but I'm wondering if this font is already included in InDesign and, if so, is it complete?
    Also, if I use the Creative Cloud can I use any fonts in it that I've already purchased licenses for?
    Finally, do I need a special license for a printed book or is that included in the desktop license?

    Hi Badmonkeyart,
    Please confirm the version name of InDesign.
    However, for CS6 you can refer the following page which having the detailed information about default fonts included.
    Font related documentation for Creative Suite 6
    Hope this helps.

  • Should I purchase iPhone or Blackberry for this task?

    I specifically want a phone to receive emails (maybe 4 per day) and access websites to enter data (say 4 times per day). I've been told that for those who want to do this regularly the iPhone freezes and is slower than the Blackberry. Almost all spoken to say that for emails, the Blackberry is superior. Any comments or suggestions please?

    If you are talking about that low a number of emails the speed is not going to matter so the BB will not give you any added benefit. To be compared to the BB you need a push email account on the iPhone which you can get by signing on to MobileMe, use a yahoo push mail account (free) or an exchange account.
    As far as data entry, I would go with the iPhone due to the larger screen than some BBs, touch screen, etc. Safari has been pretty stable for me and I have done some data entry with it.

  • T-Mobile (US) iPhone 6 Plus for Use in Spain

    Hello,
    I am thinking about buying a T-Mobile iPhone 6 Plus from the US to eventually unlock and use in Spain (on Movistar). Does anyone know if this version of the phone will be able to access 4G in Spain? I know that 3G won't be a problem (I have an unlocked iPhone 5 bought from the Apple Store in the US that accesses up to 3G here in Spain, but cannot access 4G - and yes, I know for a fact that there is 4G as my Android accesses it no problem), but what about 4G?
    I've looked at the LTE specs page, but I'm a bit confused as almost all the same bands are listed for the two devices (the one for T-Mobile US and the one for Movistar Spain)
    Thanks a lot!

    He is correct
    Ironically the Sprint or US Cellular version will work - BUT I doubt that you can get that version unlocked - on the other hand if you want to use it in Spain I would consider buying the A 1524 / A 1526 model

  • I just purchased a Thunderbolt Display for use with Photoshop work.  How can I set up to show/work in separate programs on each screen?

    I just purchased a Thunderbolt Display as an additional screen for Photoshop work.  Following set up instructions appears to allow only mirroring of the screens.  How can I set up to show/work in separate programs on each screen? 

    Yes, each blue rectangle is a screen. You can create different geometries, to suit your needs. For example, you can even make this kind of thing... :
    Or this:
    I don't know why you would want to do that, but you can!

  • IPhone control adapter for use with existing control adapter

    There are many adapters that work to give standard headphones control over the iPhone by adding a mic, 'centre click' button and volume controls.
    I have tried two of them today (iLuv and Phillips), and while they both worked nicely, using them with my standard 3GS earbuds disabled the stock microphone and controls.
    I basically need a way to separate the control button(s) and the microphone so I can operate the phone from my motorcycle helmet - putting the stock microphone in the helmet (which works well by the way), but still having a way to answer calls.

    I don't know if I saw this correctly or not, but is there an adapter I can get to hook up the newer cinema display to my power mac machine?
    No.
    I thought I saw a mini port to DVI or VGA adapter?
    That's to connect a DVI or VGA display to a Mini DisplayPort equipped computer.

  • I bought my iphone from australia and i cant use it here in philippines

    My husband bought a 2nd hand iphone from Australia for a present. but doesnt work here in philippines.
    I try to connect to itunes but looks like is lock. we already call the telstra as what my husband say its working properly there,
    but until now, dont have responce.. so what i need to do??

    Get the phone unlocked from the carrier in Australia - they are the only ones who can do this and you will then be able to use the phone.
    If it is the activation lock, then you may never be able to use this phone unless you get the details from the previous owner of the phone.

  • Landscape Remote keyboard for use on Apple TV?

    Using the keyboard on my iphone in the Remote app is WAY better than having to use the aluminum remote to select letters one by one when I'm doing a search.
    But it seems I have to use the keyboard in portrait mode on my iphone.
    Am I missing something? Is there a way to enable landscape keyboard mode on the iphone Remote app for use when searching on Apple TV? That would make it even easier and more natural to do text searches on ATV.

  • Graphics card for use with FC Studio

    So I'm purchasing a Mac Pro for use mainly with Final Cut Studio in the next few days, and I'm unsure as to which graphics card I should order, the GeForce 7300 GT or Radeon X1900 XT (I know nothing about video cards).
    I won't be using much Motion, so the question is: in what ways does a better graphics card improve video editing? I understand that it would help for real time effects or previewing unrendered footage, but is that all? I'd love to hear some real world examples

    Adam,
    Did you post this in the Final Cut Pro Discussion, too? You might get more detailed answers. I asked a similar (but more general) question there last week, and the clear consensus was that the performance boost from the Radeon -- across the board -- would be well worth the upgrade.
