Regarding the carrier/country lock for iPhone 6

Hello, I'm planning to purchase iPhone 6 with two year contract.
The situation is that I'm currently outside U.S..
I'm willing to keep the Verizon account active for next two years (paying the voices and data every months), but I wish I can use the new iPhone 6 device in the country outside U.S by popping in non-Verizon network's SIM card.
The question is is the two-year contract iPhone 6 country or carrier unlocked?
Should I have to activate it on Verizon's network in the first place?
Does activation on Verizon's network imply that I'm permanently locked into Verizon's network?
Is it possible to activate the device on Verizon's network and then unlock the phone right after?
Would it be best to not to activate the device on Verizon, but just mail it here (outside U.S.) and activate the phone with the local network here?
I'm really confused...
Can somebody give me a good advice?

The Verizon iPhone 5, 5S, 5C, 6, and 6 Plus are all completely unlocked and ready for travel. No unlocking is needed. They will work with Tmobile, AT&T SIMS domestically and International SIMS. No call to Verizon is needed. It does not matter if you put the Verizon SIM in first, so no problem activating on Verizon and then putting in the international SIM.

  • HT1222 I like the new iOS 7 for iphone... But i think it's not a good idea to allow switch the iphone on flight mode when it is locked.. What happens if your iphone is stolen or lost? You couldn't be able to locate it using find my iphone... Can i remove

    And have your phone set to require a passcode before it can be accessed.

    how to contact the Dubai technical support for Iphone from outside Dubai

    If you purcased your iPhone from one of the UAE cell carriers, you will need to find the support number for the carrier, Etisalat or DU, from which you purchased the iPhone. If you purchased your iPhone from the online Apple Store in the UAE, you can find their phone number here:

  • ITunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone

    When I try to download and install the new carrier settings file, I get the message "iTunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." (I got a similar message when I tried to download and install the OS update.)
    I've been able to work around the problem by creating a different user and installing from there. But I'd like to be able to find and correct the cause of the error message instead of using a workaround. It seems like there's a file or folder somewhere that has somehow become read-only. Does anyone know where iTunes downloads the carrier settings and OS update files?

    That was it. Somehow the owner of ~/Library/iTunes got changed to root.

    Have you tried using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions?
    Right after I posted the message I thought that the age-old placebo of repairing permissions might actually fix my problem. Because of your quick reply I found the ownership problem before repairing permissions. So here was the perfect chance for a test. Repair Permissions ran successfully but the owner of ~/Library/iTunes was still root. Repair Permissions fails the test.
    I manually changed the owner to steve and was able to download and install the carrier settings.
    Thanks!

  • Change the default country code for new contacts in Outlook 2013 for countries not listed in Control Panel Region Format

    Dear all,
    I would like to change the default country code for new Outlook 2013 contacts. My country is Mozambique (+258) and is not listed under Control Panel> Region> Formats> Format:
    Is there any place (registry maybe, anywhere) where I can manipulate the existing formats or manually add a new format to the List ??? - for example Portuguese (Mozambique).
    I am using Windows 8.1
    I have tried changing the country on the phone and modem options and nothing changes. Also changing the Home Location on Region> Location to Mozambique didn't change a thing. The only place where I change something and produces results is the
    Format List.
    Any ideias???? If not, is there a place where I can ask Microsoft to include Portuguese (Mozambique) on future windows updates???
    Kind regards,
    Osvaldo

    Hi,
    Windows uses the information set under
    'Phone and Modem'  in the Control Panel to determine the default area code.
    You can change the country/region to
    Mozambique
    and set your area code here:

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.

    I would assume that the home screen image and the lock screen image would be changed 100% the same way all other iphones change them in the settings

  • After accepting the carrier update yesterday my iPhone 5s will not receive emails via my work Exchange system.

    After accepting the carrier update yesterday my iPhone 5s will not receive emails via my work Exchange system.  I can send emails, but can not receive.  I deleted my account and added it back with the directed provided by our Corporate IT, but I still can't receive emails.  I've hard booted and soft booted my phone several times to no avail.  What else can I do to help remedy this situation?

    I don't have any other email accounts on my phone and I don't get any type of error message.  It just says "Checking for Mail" and I receive nothing, so I know that it is accessing my work email system.  I haven't made any changes to my account.  I only accepted the message to update my carrier system.....I do have an appointment with the local Verizon store to see if they can help.
    Just FYI, my Exchange email account still works on my iPad, so I'm pretty sure the settings are correct.

  • What is the best anti virus for iphone 5?

    what is the best anti virus for iphone 5?

    I concur with Tonefox; worthless. To preserve battery the best thing you can do is shut down apps that constantly run in the background and fetch data from servers elsewhere; the Facebook app being a prime example. Apple has more tips here:
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    As to clearing memory, there's almost never a need, and if there is a simple restart of the iPhone will suffice.

  • Is it possible to recover deleted files from the Microsoft Word app for iPhone? I am desperate.

    Is it possible to recover deleted files from the Microsoft Word app for iPhone? I am desperate.

    From the Microsoft Word app they say "Access Word documents from OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint" so it sounds like you can specify where they are saved. However, my guess would be that the default will be OneDrive.

  • When is the next release/update for iPhone iOS.5 ? (concerning SIRI)?

    Hi,
    Given that Siri is in beta, when does Apple plan to update us with a proper version with the bugs ironed out?
    Are they going to remove the annoying design of Siri that requires an internet connection to ask it the local system time?
    If anyone has any news on this, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    H
