US 3G iPad in the UK with UK 3G SIM

Hey there..
Currently in the US on business and wondered this:
If I purchased an AT&T Wi-Fi & 3G iPad 2 while in the US and took it home to the UK and put my vodafone sim in it - would it work perfectly? I also wanted to check that if I entered my Apple ID in to iTunes app will I be able to use it on the iPad as it would be a US iPad with a UK Apple Account.
Any comments welcome.
Many thanks..
Ricky

Thanks for that
You are at least the second poster with similar good news
Shame they are allegedly on backlog now
Puts to bed all the ill informed rumours once and for all
Shame Apple don't monitor here they could update some of their staff

  • If i buy an iphone in Australia and it is unlocked, can i use it in the uk with a uk sim?

    if i buy an iphone in Australia and it is unlocked, can i use it in the uk with a uk sim?

    Depends on model for LTE(4G) see this list
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
    As long as you buy direct from an Apple Store is should not be carrier locked and will work on 3G and if say an iPhone 6 then 4G as well
    HOWEVER
    You will not have warranty or post warranty service in UK for a Australian sourced iPhone ,the warranty is NOT international

  • I want to buy an iphone 5s (GSM, SIM-Free). While I travelling to India, can I use the iphone with a local-SIM in INDIA.

    I want to buy an iphone 5s (GSM, SIM-Free).
    While I travelling to India, can I use the iphone with a local-SIM in INDIA.

    I am looking into buying an iphone 5s (GSM, SIM-Free) from apple store in US.
    While in India, I am looking to use it with a local-SIM (Local carrier) in INDIA (Eg: Airtel, Vodaphone etc). Will it work ?
    While browsing iphone products in the Apple store, I did not find any iphone referring to "Unlocked" but ended up with SIM-free as the only option (http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5s/64gb-gold-unlocked?aid=www-k2-ipho ne%205s%20-%20index-n@p&cp=k2-iphone%205…).
    I also found the following information from the apple store - When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5s from a local GSM carrier. The unlocked iPhone 5s model is A1533 (GSM).
    If Apple is the only source of unlocked iphones, could someone provide the link to the store.

  • Would an unlocked iphone bought in the usa work in the uk with a uk sim card

    I am looking to buy an unlocked iphone 4s on my next trip to the usa and was wondering if it would work back in the uk with a uk sim card?

    If it is truly unlocked, yes. Note, though, that you would get no warranty or other support for a US-sold iPhone in the UK. Should it ever need service, you'd have to send the iPhone to someone you know in the US to get it serviced. So think hard before you decide to purchase a US iPhone.
    Regards.

  • I changed my provider and hence up-dated my iphone from a 3 to a 4.  I am travelling to the UK and want to unlock and take my old phone (iphone 3) to use in the uk with my UK sim card.  How do I do this??

    you need to contact the provider of your old phone and find out 1) if the provider unlocks phones and 2) what the procedure is to get the phone unlocked.

  • I need to know if I buy an iPhone 5 or 5c in the US whether it will work in the UK with a PAYG sim

    I am currently living in the USA but will be moving back to the UK next year. I am not familiar with US phones or network providers. I have done a little research re CDMA / GSM  / frequencies etc but am just confused!!!
    I would like to buy my daughter an iPhone but would like her to be able to use it when we visit the UK on vacation or when we move back. Ideally I do not want to be tied to a contract here and would prefer PAYG but if thats not an option would possibly consider it.
    Is this going to be possible?
    If so What do I need to be looking out for?
    In the UK it is quite simple...I would just buy an unlocked phone or have one of the UK carriers unlock it for me and then just use overseas with a PAYG sim but are the phones here sim free?
    Please help.
    Many thanks
    Jo

    The answer is complicated. None of the major carriers offer PAYG service in the US, but if you buy a contract-free phone for full price you can get a plan that can be canceled at any time from any of the major carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile). There are smaller resellers that offer PAYG service (StraightTalk, for example), but they are hard to deal with.
    The most liberal is the GSM carrier T-Mobile. They have "unbundled" the phone from the service, so if you bring your own phone or pay full price for a phone the monthly cost will be lower.
    The other 3 will charge you the same monthly cost whether you pay full price for the phone or get a subsidized phone.
    Verizon iPhone 5 series phones are unlocked out of the box for international use (thanks to a condition the FCC imposed on Verizon when they were allowed to buy a substantial chunk of spectrum). They are the only phones sold in the US that will work on LTE bands in the UK and Europe.
    Sprint is not a good choice, because they give you a hard time if you want to unlock your phone.
    AT&T phones are locked, but they will unlock the phone if you pay full price or pay off your early termination fee. However, they will only work on GSM in the UK, not on LTE (4G).

  • If I buy an iPhone 5 from an Apple Store in Dubai will I be able to use it in the UK with a Vodafone SIM?

    I am going to Dubai soon and I was wondering if I bought an iPhone out there from an Apple Store would I be able to use it back in the UK on a Vodafone SIM, also is the warranty international, ie would I be able to take my phone into a store in the UK if it needed to be fixed?

    JUST DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
    Firstly the UAE iPhones have Facetime disabled
    UK Prices are among the best as are deals with the carriers
    AND the iPhone DOES NOT have international warranties

  • Can I buy an iphone in the USA and use it in the UK with an o2 sim card?

    I have just been re-issued an o2 pay monthly sim card as my phone was stolen. I'm going to NYC in September and was thinking of getting a iPhone in an apple store there. Will I be able to bring it home and use it in England with my o2 sim card? Or will I need to get it unlocked? Thank you

    Thank you so much. This makes a lot of my sense. As my phone was stolen too, it probably makes sense to buy it in the UK and keep the reciept as i'm claiming on insurance ... I thought I might save money by getting it in the US, but actually you're right, after all the hassle and then the problems afterwards, probably best just to stick to the home country! Thank you.

  • Will an Att Iphone 5 work in the UK with a UK sim card

    Will an Att Iphone 5 with a UK sim card work in Scotland.
    I don't want to unlock or jailbreak my phone either.
    Thanks

    How do you "officially unlock" a phone.
    Does that change the warranty.
    Does unlocking change EVERYTHING like jailbreaking it does.
    Do I have to reload everything on my phone.

  • German Iphone using in the US with T-Mobile Sim. Help!

    I have a german IPhone 5 bought in 09/2012. use it with German O2 carrier. now i'm in the US and I bought a prepaid sim from T-Mobile. but it does not work who can help me. normaly there should not be a simlock, because I bought the Iphone directly at Apple without any contract
    what can i do, it is important that I can use it
    thanks for your help

    You have already activated the phone with the T-Mobile sim card in it, which is why the phone has become locked to T-Mobile and whilst the phone is locked to T-Mobile, there is no way to re-activate it with another sim card.
    It is not silly at all and this is where you needed to have done your research in full and ask those questions about the differences between unlocked phones and sim free/contract free phones and then you would have found this out.
    There is nothing else that you can do.  What you need to do is contact T-Mobile in the US and tell them that you purchased the phone from the US Apple store and activated it with their sim card and the phone is now locked and request that they unlock it for you.  They may do it, but mostly they may tell you that you need to wait 40 days before they will unlock the phone for you.  Unfortunately, whilst you wait for the 40 days you won't be able to use the phone and there is absolutely nothing that you can do.
    Also, if you are using this phone in Europe why on earth did you buy it in the US?  If you knew that you wanted to use the phone in Europe, why did you not go and buy the phone in another European country?  This would have made more sense, because countries like the UK sell unlocked phones in the Apple store and you will have EU warranty on the phone and you will most likely get 4G too, but with the phone you have now, you have found that you cannot use it and your warranty is only valid for the US and not the EU - iPhone warranty is not international.
    There is nothing else that you can do now except contact T-Mobile in the US and request an unlock, but until they will unlock you will not be able to use the phone.

  • I have always been able to connect my Ipad to the tv with the HDMI adapter but since most recent software update it does not work.  Is it me or has others expeirenced this?

    I have tried to stream movies and live TV using my HDMI adapter and cable .  I have always had it work but with the most recent update it no longer will connect.  I hope someone has a good solution.

    It still works for me.
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
