Suspending Service Temporarily and Using a Local Sim

I had a question about using my Unlocked iPhone 4S Abroad.
I am currently with Verizon on a contract and I was going to temporarily suspend my service for a month's time while I am on a work trip to Europe- since I will not be using the service in the US and to avoid that month's bill.
I purchased an International Sim card through Telestial to use in Europe that comes with a Global and US #- I will only be using it to make and receive emergency calls- pretty much, I want to be reachable during my vacation, because I have a very ill parent.
My question is- will this sim card work if my service is suspended? I know my Verizon Wireless number will not receive calls or text messages, but will popping a different sim card allow me to receive calls or texts through the networks abroad?
Thanks.

  • If I travel outside the US with an unlocked iphone and use a local SIM will I still receive iMessages sent to my US number when wifi is activated?

    Ok, one of my problems is that when I arrive it will take me a few weeks to get a social security number and only t-mobile will give me a sim without a ssn - but edge for a few weeks will be better than no iPhone.
    Unless someone out there can suggest an alternative?

    First you'd have to establish service with Verizon. Once a paying customer in good standing, you can then request the GSM portion be unlocked. Obviously, you can't do any of that stuff while you're out of the US. They will not unlock the CDMA side.

    What roaming charges? If you have a local plan there are no roaming charges. This is a major reason for using a local plan.
    Contact, or visit the website,  whatever local provider you are considering and get their plan details.

  • Where to buy my iPhone 5 from? I will be living in Canada for a while after 6 months. And returning to the UK regularly so I want an unlocked iPhone so I can use a local sim in Canada and a local sim in the UK to keep roaming costs down. But which model?

    Thank you for you help in advance

    If you buy an iPhone at the UK or Canadian Apple stores, it should work on the GSM frequencies in both countries. LTE will not work as the LTE channels are different in each country and each iPhone sold in each country is only compatible on LTE channels of that particular country. Other wise it should be fine.
    Be aware that only the Apple store (retail or online) sells the unlocked iPhone in the UK. I think the situation is similar in Canada. (It is in the US).

  • Can I use a local sim card with my Australian bought iPhone and iPad?

    I bought my iPhone 4 and iPad2 in Australia. I'm travelling to South Korea and Japan for two weeks. Can I use a local sim card with my Australian bought iPhone? If so, can I still link my iPad2 to my iPhone4 with a personal hot spot?

    Only if your phone is officially unlocked. Is it?

    Yes, you should be able to use a local SIM card from a carrier in Ontario. You should not have to do anything prior to doing so.

  • I bought iphone 5s device only from apple and used my o2 sim for sometime, now I want to use 3 sim, can I replace sim directly ?

    I bought iphone 5s device only from apple and used my o2 sim for sometime, now I want to use 3 sim, can I replace the sim directly or anything Apple has to do on my device?

    Yes, I bought iPhone 5s from Apple.com/uk and paid full price(no contracts, not pay as you go). From your reply I take it that it wont be locked on O2 even though my first sim used on the device was on O2. This is helpful to know, I will change it with a new sim from 3 and see (definitely will switch off while doing so). Thanks for your suggestion. After changing the sim probably in a few days time, I will confirm to you again.

    Then call the carrier it is currently locked to. They, and ONLY they can process an unlock request for you.

  • I have a company BB which is terrible and want to buy a 3GS and use my BB SIM card in the iPhone. Will this work?

    I have a company BB which is terrible and want to buy a 3GS and use my BB SIM card in the iPhone. Will this work?

    Depending on the model of the Blackberry & the carrier.
    if the blackberry didn't have 3G or a 3g sim card (depending on the carrier), then the SIM is probably too old to use and would require a new SIM.
    The data plans on some carriers specify a blackberry data plan and an iPhone data plan, and they are not interchangable, so the carrier would have to switch that.
    Usually since iphones come with a SIM preinstalled, some carriers may tell you the SIM card can't be transferred between an iphone and another device.

  • Can I buy a SIM in the UK for the World Phone and use on local service?

    I am travelling to the UK and have 2 old World Phones. Can I buy a Vodaphone "pay as you go" SIM card and activate these phones under local UK service for my kids while we are there? I really only need phone and text or BIM service.
    I believe the UK-based SIM would give the phones a UK-based phone number and make them local calls (instead of paying the higher international rates)

    No, it wont work on 3G networks in U.S, it only supports WCDMA 2100 and 900, Whereas to work on U.S 3G networks a device should support atleast WCDMA 850 or 1900 look here

  • Buying a new iphone with a contract and using current 3g sim card for it.

    I have the iphone 3g and recently my screen got cracked. Is it possible to just buy another iphone from a Apple store and put my sim card into the new phone?
    I'm not too sure if they allow you to just buy the phone without the whole contract thingie.

    You cannot simply buy another iPhone 3G and put the original SIM card into it - the SIM card is 'married' to the IMEI of the iPhone when it's activated, so the old one won't work in the new phone. However, you can buy another iPhone 3G - but, you (or your friend) will need to pay the unsubsidized price, which is $399/$499 for the 8/16 GB iPhone 3G.
    Alternatively, the iPhone Out-of-Warranty Service cost is $199/$299. Out-of-Warranty Service applies to iPhones that are damaged, but not catastrophically damaged (i.e. if your screen is cracked, that's fine, but if your phone is in pieces or it it's been submerged in liquid, that's not repairable and you'll need to pay the unsubsidized cost of a new phone as above). If your concern is about being without a phone, for $29 you can use the Advance Replacement Service, where Apple sends you a replacement iPhone and then you send the damaged iPhone back.

  • Can I buy an unlocked iPhone 3GS (UK) and use my 3 sim card in it?

    My friend is on Orange, his contract has ended and he is upgrading to the iPhone 4S. I want to buy his iPhone 3GS and use my pay monthly 3 sim card in it.
    He has spoke to Orange, paid £20 and is having the phone officially unlocked, he will recieve an email in 28 days, once done he needs to put my simcard in the phone, connect to his itunes and put the code in which will unlock it.
    Can I then have the phone and sync it on my itunes on my computer or is it forever locked to his itunes?
    Does this sound right or am I missing something?
    Cheers.

    So the last part of setting it up as a new device is done by plugging it into my computer, itunes etc...?
    Just thought my mate might be pulling a fast one, ha! Ive never owed anything apple so am new to it all.
    I will enjoy it im sure, I tried to get his new 4S but he wasnt having any of it lol!
    Anyways, cheers.
