Use 02 uk iphone in USA

i am going to being to the usa to vist my dad and i have an 02 activated 3g iphone will i be able to po an at&t sim card in my iphone and use local rates whilst in the us.

I tried to do this. I have a UK O2 iPhone and an AT&T account in the US. I went to an Apple store in New York and we tried to switch the SIM cards. The iPhone didn't work with the AT&T card. I then went to an AT&T store. They said the phone needed to be unlocked for this to work, and they don't unlock phones. I haven't tried to get it unlocked.
Before I left the UK, I bought a 50 MB pack to use for my month long travel. I've checked my usage regularly to make sure I'm not racking up a big bill otherwise. It was worth doing.

  • If I use a converted-iPhone-charger (USA to UK), will it charge slower?

    If I use a converted-iPhone-charger (USA to UK), will it charge slower?
    One of my mates in UK is using a converter and his iPhone 3 is charging slower, and we don't know what seems to be the problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    The Apple supplied chargers are universal chargers, can be used anywhere. Just use an adapter to plug them in, but do not use a converter. If other iPhones on this set-up charge normally, then most likely, the battery is showing signs of age.

  • Using unlocked Aus iPhone with USA sim card?

    I'm moving to USA from Australia, if i unlock my iPhone can i use it normally with a USA sim such as Verizon or AT&T?

    If it is officially unlocked you will certainly be able to use it with AT&T, but not with Version as they do not even use sims.  Yours is a GSM handset and Verison use a different version.

  • Hello anyone know how to use the locked iphone outside USA

    hello anyone know how to use the locked AT&T iphone 5 outside US. I'll go to Japan. Don't know if the phone can be used there.any idea will be appreciated.

    You'll need to get it unlocked by ATandT to avoid paying huge roaming costs.

  • Is it possible to use an unlocked iphone from USA in Norway?

    I want to buy a unlocked from from the america to use in america and in norway, is that possible without having any problems?

    yes it's possible.  Just be sure to buy an factory unlocked (which is NOT the same a non-contract) phone.  It should come with NO sim.
    Just remember, however, any repair needs to be done in the country of purchase.

  • I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

    I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

    If officially unlocked, you can purchase a sim from one of the two nationwide GSM carriers, AT&T or T-Mobile. However, AFAIK, none of the carriers in India offer unlocking for the iPhone. Thus, if your phone is carrier locked, the only way it will work in the US is roaming...that would cost a fortune.
    So, if you have a carrier locked iPhone, leave it home or sell it before you come to the US, then purchase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, when you get to the US. You'll be able to use that phone in India when you go back.

    No. Return it and get your money back if still within the 30 day return window. All US iPhones are carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked.

  • Can I use my Korean iPhone from KT in the USA?

    I bought an iPhone 4 in South Korea from the KT company.
    I am not sure if it is unlocked or locked.
    Is it possible to use this phone in the USA with an American phone company?
    Thanks

    If you purchased the phone form a company in Korea, then it is likely that the phone is locked, so no you will not be able to use it in the US except with the international roaming feature enabled from your company which can be quite expensive.  The only way that you would have an unlocked phone is if you purchased it from an Apple approved retailer in Korea that sells unlocked phones.
    You will not be able to use any US CDMA carrier either - this is not possible.

  • Can I buy just 1 Iphone and use it in 2 locations: USA and Brazill.Just changing the chips as once in Brazil i have and account already and here I will be under my husband's phone account

    Can I buy just 1 Iphone and use it in 2 locations: USA and Brazill.
    While in USA using the account here under my husband’s phone account (our home is here)
    HOWEVER, I work in Brazil and there I have a phone account on my name.
    Can I use the same phone (where all my information is stored) and just change the chip of phone company?
    Seems pretty silly on the first moment on reading the questions, BUT for me, it means a lot as I could have just one phone, as already have to carry so many other electronic stuffs!
    Look fwd your advise

    Depends on where you buy.
    ALL U.S. iphones are carrier locked and CANNOT be unlocked.  If you buy an iphone in the U.S., then you will not be able to put a different SIM
    Some countries sell unlocked iphones.  These can be used with other SIM cards.

  • Hey i recently buy an iphone 4s and by default i set it to saudi arabia and i would like to change it to united states since i can't use the apple store of usa any help plzzz

    Besides setting the iTunes store to the US, you will also need
    a credit card issued in the US with billing address in the US;
    you also are supposed to be located in the US when using the
    US store, and there are periodic software checks to verify that.
    Simply changing the iTunes store to the US iTunes store will
    not allow you to make purchases/download free apps without
    meeting the other requirements. Do you meet them?

  • If i bought an Iphone 6 from usa (contract free,T-mobile) can i use in srilanka (outside the usa) ? and to activate it should i have t-mobile sim?

    if i bought an Iphone 6 from usa (contract free,T-mobile) can i use in srilanka (outside the usa) ?
    and to activate it should i have t-mobile sim ?

    As Ethmoid says, it is still a CDMA phone as I told you earlier, and it will not work with t-mobile. Even if Sprint unlocked the phone, it would only unlock the GSM side for international use. They will not unlock the GSM side for domestic use in the US.

  • I want to buy a iphone in usa and use it in india its possible

    I want to buy an iphone in usa and use it in india its possible. Because in india there is no authorized unlocked carrier.

    Hello and welcome to discussions. First of all, for the future, please use the subject-field for its intended purpose and put the question into the message body.
    Second, as far as I am aware no unlocked iPhones are sold in the US, which means you should bring one from Spain if they sell them there. But I guess someone from the US will be able to clarify this.

  • Buy Iphone in USA and use it in Europe

    Hello,
    I would like to know if I buy an Iphone in USA, If we can use it in Europe, with another carrier and network?
    I will soon go to the states and I would like to make a gift to my sister.
    Thanks in advance for your answers :-)

    So the US Apple store appears to operate differently from the UK store (where I've just bought 2 new iPhones unlocked and taken SIM only contracts with 2 different service providers). I'm sorry if I've caused any confusion.
    To be clear, you need to find somewhere you can get an unlocked phone to be able to bring it back to Europe and use it.

  • Can i buy an iPhone from USA online and use it in Europe?

    Can i buy an iPhone from USA online and use it in Europe?

    If you use a credit card from a financial institution in the US,
    with a verified billing address in the US, and ship the order to
    the US. Warranty will be valid only in the US and LTE will not
    work in EU. The low prices you see for some iPhones are
    because the iPhone requires a 2 year contract with a wireless
    carrier in the US. Prices for unlocked (useable with any carrier)
    iPhone 5 are $649 for 16 GB, $747 for 32 GB, and $849 for 64 GB
    + applicable taxes which will vary with shipping destination within
    the US. Still interested?

  • If i buy an iphone in USA and don't buy a contract, could i use it in Denmark then and buy a contract their and still have no problems with the iPhone.

    If i buy an iphone in USA and don't buy a contract, could i use it in Denmark then and buy a contract their and still have no problems with the iPhone.

    If you buy an Unlocked iPhone from the US, you can use that phone on any carrier that supports that particular phone (either GSM or CDMA). So yes, this is possible. But if anything happens to the phone that requires Apple's help, you will have to ship it back to US for that service.
