Use a US iphone in the UK

I have a friend who's going to Florida for the New Year . If he buys me an unlocked iphone 5 (s or c) in Florida , will it work in the UK with a UK SIM ( in case it matters I use Tesco mobile who use O2 as the carrier)

I would suggest you not buy an iPhone in the US if you don't live there. Even if you buy an officially unlocked iPhone, and Apple is not yet selling truly unlocked 5S models in the US, you won't get LTE in the UK and will get no warranty support outside of the US. Buy your iPhone in your home country.
Regards.

Can you use a US iPhone in the UK

can you use a US iphon e in the UK

You shouldn't have a problem, I would think it would work, as long as it's a GSM (AT&T) model. It should just be a matter of swaping out the SIM cards.

Can I use my German Iphone in America?
And what do I need? A new contract?
Thanks for your help

If officially unlocked, yes. Stop in any AT&T store when you get here to review your options. AT&T is the only GSM supported iPhone carrier in the US.

I lost my apple tv remote. How can I set up the use of my iphone remote app without it?

The remote app would require home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. If that's not the case then you will need a new remote

HT204053 Can I use find my iPhone with the iCloud if I didn't have it set up before I lost/ stolen iPhone

My iPhone 4S was lost / stolen I don't think I had iCloud on it for pictures on iCloud that were on my phone
Number 2. Would I be able to use find my iPhone if I didn't activate the app before it was lost . Some one told me today they signed on and they were able to find their iPhone

If the "Find My iPhone" was enabled in your iCloud Settings on your phone - it does not matter if you had the "App" on there or not. It will report, if it has not been deleted / restored / etc.
Have you tried logging into http://www.icloud.com and see if your device is listed? If it is, then place your phone into "Lost Mode" and put a phone number where you can be reached.

Can I use an unlocked iPhone in the US

Last year, I bought an unlocked iPhone, so I could use it in Brazil. This year I am moving to the States and would like to keep my phone - what should I do?
Thanks!

Nothing. When you move to the US, you can sign up for service with any GSM carrier. One you sign up for an account you will be provided with the appropriate SIM for your phone.

I try to log in icloud to check if I can use Find my Iphone but the page doesn't work. There appears that trusted certificate is not valid. I want to know why...

I have a Iphone 5 with IOS 7

If you are using mobile safari on the iphone to access icloud.com, then that won't work. Mobile safari can't log into icloud.com
What you need is the Find My iPhone app at the app store. It's free. Download it and use that.

HT4910 iCloud won't let me erase my previous backups because it says its being used by another iPhone? the apple store recently replaced my old iPhone with a new one, and I want to delete the old backup, how will i do this if its still syncing to my old i

this is the error it gives me :/ how will i go about deleting my old iphone if i dont have it??

This should clear up on its own and allow you to delete the account, however it can take 3-5 days before this happens.

How can i use find my iphone on the pc

lost my phone do not have any other apple device how do I use find iphone app?

www.icloud.com, login, then click on Find My Phone

When using find my iphone, is the green dot where my device exactly is or can it be somewhere in the circle around the dot??

I cant find my ipod and im wondering if the green dot is the exact location????

Hey Mariahlt1121, depending on the router and location, the green dot could be within in a few feet and as far as a city block away! (I know this because I have checked it out. In one location had to be within 15 feet of the router to get Wi-Fi, and yet at home I get approximately 180 feet from the router; crazy huh!) and if your iPod is tapped into someone else's network could be even further away.) With this info, good luck finding your iPod. Hope you find it. Cheers.

Using a microsim in an unlocked iPhone in the US

I'm looking to find a way of using an unlocked iPhone in the US. However, none of the providers in the US that I've spoken to offer a microsim-only deal. Has anyone managed to use a non-US iPhone 4S in the US on a US provider?

T-Mobile sells micro sims...your only other choice is AT&T.

Can thieves get around Find My iPhone in the iOS 7 version?

Yesterday at the Seahawks game my 5S (32gb, gold) fell out of my pocket when I was jumping like crazy during a Marshawn Lynch touchdown. Someone right next to us picked it up and turned it off right away. My husband immediately put it into "stolen" mode in Find My iPhone, and it had been maybe 10 minutes at the most since it fell out of my pocket.
We did all the right stuff--that phone won't work on the AT&T network at all, we keep checking in with security to see if someone it was left in the stadium, the Seattle PD has an open case, and Apple has the relevant info with the serial number and such. It had a passcode lock plus my fingerprint ID in use.
Unfortunately, the thief still hasn't turned it back on. And I've tried researching but wanted to see if you smart people have any insight here--is there a way someone can still get around this? Like, is there a sophisticated way they could jam the cell signal, not turn on wifi, and somehow break into the phone and jailbreak it or whatever? Or is there hardwired means that the serial number or whatever Apple accesses to ID it as a stolen device just can't be overcome?
Basically, I REALLY hope that it's a brick with absolutely no way to overcome it and by some miracle the phone gets turned in. Our son, who is almost 3, has autism and doesn't speak. The other day he started pointing out letters to me and saying them and it was such a beautiful moment and I grabbed my phone and got it on video, plus I got some cool videos of the actual Seahawks game. We're HUGE fans and only go about once a year. So I'd really love to, by some miracle, get those back.
BUT if I can't get the phone back, ever, I REALLY just want the peace of mind that it's an unusable brick and there's no way that some ahole out there is going around using my phone, nor that they were able to make it usable and sell it and some unknowing person paid $600 and now gets to use my stolen phone.
Anyway, when I called Apple the guy said there's no way that phone can ever be used, no matter what, unless they put in our Apple ID and password, and that it is completely impossible to break into the software and wipe it without accessing the internet, which means we would immediately get the location notification. Even the police officer who took my report said she doesn't understand why people steal iPhones because they are complete bricks and there's no way around it. Still, I just feel like if that were true people wouldn't keep stealing iPhones.
So do any of you have any insight? Thanks for entertainging my obsessing over this shat situation.

I should clarify: I didn't know it fell out, but I check my phone often enough that there were only about 10 minutes between when I last put it in my pocket and then realized it wasn't there.
We asked everyone around us if they saw it, and like 10 people were helping us look. But my husband used Find My iPhone and the Prey app right away when we realized it was missing (again, at most 15 minutes from the last time I used it) and it was already in offline / "cannot locate" mode.

HT1665 I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad. can the plug adapters also be used on the Mac Pro charger to charge up my laptop when travelling or is a special converter needed.M

I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad when traveling abroad. I know this charger can be used on an iPhone, can the plug adapters also be used with the charger of a Mac Book Pro or is a special converter required?

Is there any concern about the type of travel adapter kit? For instance, some instructions indicate they are for heat creating appliances (hairdryers, curling irons, etc.). I bought such a set, but do they present any issues if used with more delicate electronic circuitry (for iPads, iPods, or with camera battery chargers). I am leaving for the UK on Monday and need to get it right - are they too strong for the Apple products if they are not to be used with computers? What other options are out there?

No audio when using FaceTime on iPhone.

No audio when using FaceTime on iPhone. The video works, but just static is heard during call. I have attempted multiple calls to another iphone and my mac. Should I send the phone in for repair?

Hi Anne-Lill Holme,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are not being heard during FaceTime calls on your iPhone 6, I recommend starting with these troubleshooting tips:
Restart your device.
If using FaceTime over a Wi-Fi network, go to the steps to resolve Wi-Fi network issues.
From:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime
Next, I recommend testing your iPhone 6 microphone in other applications, such as Voice Memos.
If you cannot be heard on recordings in other apps, see this article for additional troubleshooting help:
If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch
Best Regards,
Jeremy
