Unlocked iphone 4 - can i use pay as you go sims abroad?

hi
if i was to buy the iphone 4 from apple, as they come unlocked from there, would i be able to buy a pay as you go sim in america and use it in it, as i will be spending the summer there, and then buy another pay as you go sim and then use that instead in switzerland?
thanks!

The ones sold unlocked in the uk can be used in any carrier worldwide, so I would say yes

  • I've just bought an iPhone with a vodafone pay as you go sim. There should be a 12digit pack number for me to activate the sim and the credit. Does anyone know where i can find the code?

    I have just bought an iPhone with vodafone pay as you go sim. It was meant to come with a freedom freebie credit allowance. However I need a 12digit code to activate this. There is no code on my receipt. Where would I find this?

    I bought this online through the apple store. I have no one to contact but to ask the community!

  • Can I use unlock US iphone 4s with a pay as you UK sim card

    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy the iphone 4s here in the US but I travel to the UK alot, so would I be able to use a pay as you go UK sim card with the US iphone 4s? as this would be the cheapest option instead of paying for roaming fees. I know that Apple states that it is a world phone but just wanted to make this absolute before running of to the store next month.

    You'll need to purchase an unlocked / SIM-free iPhone 4S in the US when the become available in November.
    Buy one now, and it will be locked to the network, with no way of unlocking it.

  • Can I use my unlocked iphone on a pay as you go SIM card?

    I recently bought an iPhone 5 unlocked on the apple store UK. I am wondering if I can use a pay as you go SIM card with a top up card. I don't want to pay anything monthly. I just want to be able to top it up. Can I use pay as you go if it is unlocked?

    If the carrier you wish to use has a pay-as-you-go iPhone plan, then yes, you can. It's a matter for the carrier and not something to do with the iPhone itself, as long as it's truly unlocked.
    Regards.

I said it just came to Venezuela only had to comectarme a wi fi zone to turn smoothly. I've been trying and I could not, tells me to retry or do so through the itunes. thanks

  • Unlocked old iPhone 3GS for use with pay as you go sim in the UK on vacation. O2 sim works while ph plugged in.  Unplugged, works short time and crashes.  Sometimes won't even re-boot.  Software on phone up to date as far as 3GS goes.

    I brought an old IPhone 3GS to the UK on vacation for use with sim card.  I had the phone unlocked with approval and instructions from ATT.  Store in the UK recommended O2 pay as you go sim which works as long as the phone remains plugged into the wall.  Once unplugged, it will work for a short time and then always crashes.  Sometimes it will re-boot and crash again and sometimes it will not re-boot at all.  One store told me to sync with itunes which I did on my Mac Book.  I don't know if the sim is defective or if the software of the 3GS is just not compatible with the sim when on the battery.  I have updated the software on the phone as far as it will go.  Any suggestions?  Maybe the phone is too old to use with the latest pay as you go sim cards.  I am disappointed that this phone has not been reliable as a pay as you go and I have had to purchase a UK phone here in order to have a reliable phone.

    There is nothing you can do. You bought an illegally unlocked phone off Ebay. A lot of sellers there will tell you it is unlocked but the first time you try to update the operating system it will put the lock back on to the carrier the phone was originally locked to. Sorry but unless the carrier it was locked to will unlock the phone I am afraid you have a very expensive paper weight now. You should have bought it from a reputable dealer instead of ebay.

  • I live in the uk , can I use a pay as you go sim in my iPhone 4S in United States

    I live in the uk and have an iPhone 4S, can I use a pay as you go sim in the United States ?

    Yep.
    But, the US is not like Europe...your choices are very limited, as in only one real choice: T-Mobile.

  • I am moving from London to NYC for a year, will i be able to use my iPhone over there and insert a pay as you go sim?

    I wondered if anyone can advise me on whether its possible to use my iPhone in NYC by getting a pay as you go sim in the US? Do companies offer pay as you go sims over there as i wont have a credit rating.
    Thanks!

    The only supported GSM carrier in the US is AT&T. They will not permit the use of pre-paid SIM cards in the iPhone.
    You can sign up for monthly post paid service with them and use it just fine (assuming your existing phone is legitimately unlocked).
    You can get pre-paid service with T-Mobile or any number of other regional GSM carriers, but not all features of the phone may work properly (or at all).

  • Can an unlocked iPhone 4s be used as an iPod (wifi only)?

    Can an unlocked iPhone 4s be used as an iPod (wifi only)?

    If your BB has a microSIM on AT&T and you buy an unlocked iPhone you could use it to activate the iPhone then return it to your BB, assuming your work has not locked this out. Or you could get a microSIM from AT&T, start an account, activate the iPhone then cancel the account and pay the $350 ETF. The problem with this route is if you had to restore the iPhone you would have to do it again.
    Trust me, the camera on the iPhone 4s is not worth the over $1,000 you would have to pay.
    You could also wait until next year when they upgrade the camera on the Touch.

  • If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

    If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

    If you purchase an unlocked iPhone it will work on any supported gsm network.
    Just FYI, apple will not ship outside the country in which the device is purchased. A device purchased in the Hong Kong website must have a shipping and billing address in Hong Kong.
    Also, warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.

    Contact Sprint. They are the only ones that can authorize an unlock. No one else can. If they refuse to unlock, there is nothing you can do but sell the device and get another phone.

  • With iOs 7 and the iPhone can someone use the phone while also using a communication app such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These are text to speech systems for people who cannot speak well. Thanks you!

    With ios 7 and the iPhone can someone use their phone while also using a text to speech app, such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These apps are used by people who have difficulty with speech production.
    Thank you.

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.
