Use in other countries

Hi all!
I want to buy an iPhone 3GS from France to use in other countries.
Please tell me if the iPhones from France work in USA or Germany for example.
Thanks

The iPhone is sold in France as carrier locked with Orange, and as officially unlocked by Orange as required by French law, but at a significantly higher price than than the carrier locked version.
An officially unlocked iPhone purchased in France should work with any other GSM carrier's SIM card, but you may want to confirm this with Orange in France.
In addition, support and warranty coverage will be honored by Apple and Orange in France only. If a problem develops with an iPhone that was purchased in France that requires an exchange under warranty, the iPhone will be exchanged under warranty in France only.

  • How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
    Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
    Backup Phone A.
    Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
    When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
    After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

  • IPhone uses in other countries

    Does anyone know if it can be used in other countries ? What I mean is using it with sim card other than AT & T in other countries. I know it has to be activated through iTune & join AT & T's serive plans. Is it possible to sync the phone in iTune without joining AT & T ?

    No, it is not possible to sync the phone in iTunes without joining AT&T
    You cannot at this time use another SIM card in your phone without getting it unlocked first....

  • Airport express use in other countries

    I recently purchased an airport extreme base in Hong Kong and brought it back to Canada. It was configured for countries other than Canada, so, I got Apple to replace it with one from North America.
    Since I am now leaving the country for an extended period, I've decided to purchase an airport express to take with me. However, I'm concerned that it won't work in another country. I'm going to Africa.
    Are these items not transferable and portable??

    Equipment sold in North America works only on channels 1 to 11.
    Equipment sold in other parts of the world may also use channels 12, 13, and 14.
    Therefore your AirPort Express (AX) will work as long as the wireless network is using a channel between 1 and 11.

  • HERE Maps for use in other countries

    Hi
    With merely HERE and I quote "...you can still download maps for the whole world to use, you can still have walk navigation everywhere in HERE Maps etc"
    Does that means you can activate Lumia 720's inbuilt compass and get voice guided walking navigation outside of your region?

    No you just need a plug adapter. The AC "brick" is designed to accept 110-240 volts of current coming in and still put out the correct power to the laptop.

  • T-Mobile contract-free iPhone 6 using in other countries

    I recently bought a T-Mobile contract-free iPhone 6 in the States, however I am trying to use with South Korea USIM during my trip there. Is South Korean USIM (maybe SKT or Olleh) available for this phone?

    " I am trying to use"
    Are you telling us that your attempt to use the T-Mobile iPhone 6 in Korea was unsuccessful or, are you telling us that you plan to use the iPhone 6 in Korea, and you're asking us if it will work?  If I were you - in Korea with a T-Mobile iPhone 6 - I'd by a cheap pre-paid SIM for a local Korean carrier, and see if it works.  Regardless of the outcome, you'd have your answer.

  • IPhone bought in US - use in other countries?

    So suppose I buy a 2.0 iPhone in the US. And go to England with it. iPhone is suppose to be live in London - but will my US-bought iPhone be able to access the British service?
    If that answer is NO (like I suspect) there is there any (legal) way I can swap in a different SIM card for the iPhone that would connect to the British carrier?
    Of am I just stuck and if I want to use an iPhone in London, I have to buy a British iPhone. If this is the answer... its not too palatable from my viewpoint.
    ---jon---

    Funny but that's exactly my question... I travel a lot, to France and England. I would like an unlocked phone so that I can use their simm cards and get cheaper rates. Except with a phone bought in the US you are tied to them and I suppose this is good business for them as they charge roaming fees and calls cost 99c a minute!!!!! In Europe, and in-fact the rest of the world, no one buys a locked phone!!!
    So why wont people just buy un-locked i-phones, and use them here with at&t and not be trapped into 2 year contracts......Any thoughts on what I am saying.......

  • HT1937 If I buy a iphone 5 in Cambodia can I use in other countries

    If I buy an I phone 5 in Cambodia have it unlocked can I use it in Australia

    If you buy a fully unlocked iPhone directly from Apple, then yes, you can use it in either country, but what you also need to bear in mind is the LTE and 4G issues - if you purchase in one country you won't get LTE and 4G in the other and vice versa.
    Also, there is the subject of the warranty - iPhone warranty is NOT international, so if you buy in Australia and something happens to the phone, you have to go back to Australia to get it fixed and vice versa for Cambodia.
    The best advice is to buy a phone from the country that you want to use it is - so if you live and spend most time in Australia, then buy a phone in Australia and vice versa.

  • Can I unblock the iPad mini to use in other countries in Latin America with another SIM Card?

    I recently was in Panama and found out I could unlock my iPhone 5S to use it with a SIM card from a local phone company including data.
    Can this be done with the iPad mini? Or with any iPad? It would be great if I can unblock it and work with my iPad without the need of wi fi.

    iPads are sold unlocked.

  • Unlocked iPhone use in other countries

    I've preorder an unlocked iphone 5 in the UK, however, I may be moving to Canada in the new year. Am I like to lose any functionality and make full use of LTE?

    The unlocked GSM model A1429 sold in the U.K. and the rest of Europe supports LTE bands 1, 3, & 5.
    Cananda's LTE bands are 4 & 17 (AT&T, Bell, Rogers, Telus). Only the AT&T GSM model A1428 supports LTE bands 4 & 17.

  • Apple offering a pin for AT&T lock for iPhone 4S to be used in other countries.

    My cousin just bought an iPhone 4 recently locked to AT&T and is currently living in the Philippines. He told me that if I would ask Apple, I will be able to get the pin to unlock my phone. I will be going to the Philippines as well and I need to get my phone unlocked. He contacted Apple and got the pin and got his iPhone 4 unlocked in minutes. My question is how would I get it?

    "He told me that if I would ask Apple, I will be able to get the pin to unlock my phone."
    He is incorrect.
    "He contacted Apple and got the pin and got his iPhone 4 unlocked in minutes."
    No true.
    ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it.  No one else at all.  Not Apple - no one but the carrier to which it is locked.

  • Is a power transformer required for use in other countries or can you just use a plug adapter?

    I'm flying to France tomorrow and don't wan't to bring or buy anything unnecessary. I have heard that some laptops don't need additional transformers to work over seas(just a plug addapter). Do you need a transformer for HP laptops?

    No you just need a plug adapter. The AC "brick" is designed to accept 110-240 volts of current coming in and still put out the correct power to the laptop.
