Using iPhone from Australia in Thailand

I am looking to buy a iPhone 4s as a gift for a friend in Thailand will a phone purchased in Australia be suitable or should I purchase it from apple store Thailand

Purchase it from Apple store in Thailand. Should the Australian iPhone
develop an problem requiring repair/replacement, the iPhone would have
to be returned to someone in Australia to take to Apple. Apple does
not accept international shipments for repair nor will it ship out of the
country after repair.

I bought my iphone from australia and i cant use it here in philippines

My husband bought a 2nd hand iphone from Australia for a present. but doesnt work here in philippines.
I try to connect to itunes but looks like is lock. we already call the telstra as what my husband say its working properly there,
but until now, dont have responce.. so what i need to do??

Get the phone unlocked from the carrier in Australia - they are the only ones who can do this and you will then be able to use the phone.
If it is the activation lock, then you may never be able to use this phone unless you get the details from the previous owner of the phone.

Ordering Iphone from Australia, However I'm from Middle east. Is it easier?

I would like to Order Iphone from Australia, However I'm from Middle east.
Can Someone guide me how can i place my order being here in Middle East from Australia?
I got my friend living in Australia and they would be coming back by the end of this month. So before i go and Checkout Online payment for iphones i like to inquire about few things.
1.) Is it possible that i can pay online and tell my friend to collect it from the APPLE STORE personally after the payment is made thru my Credit card online? If "YES" what document would they need to take with them to prove APPLE STORE that the payment is made & it should be handed over with no hassle.
2.) If "NOT" then, Can i pay using my credit card here and the person can recieve it locally over there? Again "What documents are required"?
This is pretty much all i want to know.
Thanks.

Online orders are shipped to your home, not to Apple stores.
I don't know about Australia, but here in the US, you need a US credit card and a US shipping address, so I'm assuming the same about Australia.
Call the Apple Online store and ask

Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
Have your friend the provided the phone contact them. Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked.

For contact [email protected]

Sounds like the Activation Lock is still set to the previous owner. If you are unable to get that Apple ID and password that iPhone is totally useless to you.
Take it back to the shop and demand your money back because they sold it to under false pretenses.

Taking a new unlocked iPhone from Australia to the USA

Hi all,
A thorough search of the net has failed to answer this question and I'm hoping you can help. There are a few threads that explore using an unlocked Aus iPhone in the USA but they all seem to deal with phones unlocked from a carrier.
I have bought a new factory unlocked iPhone from Apple Australia. If I insert a local SIM (like a Vodaphone) to get the phone operating in Australia do I need to unlock it to use it in the USA or does it stay unlocked? I would like to remove the Vodaphone SIM and use an American network while I am there.
Thanks,
Shannon

No, if it's officially unlocked by the carrier or factory-unlocked from the Apple Store, it will work with an AT&T SIM card here in the US. But, apparently there are some issues with getting pre-paid SIMs from AT&T, so check into that (the only other GSM network in the US is T-mobile, and their 3G network is not compatible with the iPhone, so you're stuck sorting out the SIM issues with AT&T or using EDGE-only on T-mobile.
Also, be aware that iPhone warranty service is only provided in the country of purchase.

IPhone from australia to India

If I have an iPhone in Australia and if I am moving to India, would I be able to configure the same iPhone there?

I mean I could download apps and etc n use it completely in India

I have a 4s iphone from Australia I want to know how to find out it is unlocked to use in the US temporarily

I want to use my Australian 4s iphone in the US. I was told when I purchased it in Australia that I could use it in the US, which I am visitng for 3 months. I need to know if it is unlocked. I went to a Verizon store but they were unable to help me.

Thank You Meg,
I was told when I purchased the phone from Telstra in Australia that the phone was unlocked and i would be able to us it in the US as long as I changed the sim card and found the right carrier. I will now go to AT&T since you have told me they are the carrier. No wonder Verizon could not assist me. Thank You.
Do you know how I myself can check to see if it is unlocked??

Hello I have a 3G and a 4G iphone, purchased in Australia where I lived. But, now I am living in the USA. I understand both iphones from Australia have GSM language - Is there any way I can use either of these iphones in the USA?

Hello I lived in Australia for 3.5 years, using a 3G and a 4G iphone. In April I moved back to the USA and would like to use one of these iphones. I understand Australia iphones use a GSM language and AT&T is the only carrier that will allow me to use for the GSM. When trying to sign up with AT&T, the SIM card would not work. When visiting Apple in Walnut Creek, CA, they said that these iphones I have cannot be used in the USA.
Before moving back to the USA, I visited the Apple Store near Sydney and they said I could unlock them to use them in the USA. THey did something with the 3G iphone, but when I was at AT&T in Walnut Creek, I could not get the 3G to work.
Bottom line: can I use either my 3G or 4G iphone that I bought in Australia here in the USA?
Thank you for your help.
KInd regards,
Susan Williams

You should contact the carrier (in Austrailia I presume) to which they are locked to as they are the only ones that can unlock your iPhone.

Just got a used IPhone from store and it won't connect to Internet without having to use wifi. Already called my phone company and it still doesn't work. How do I fix this?

I just went to GameStop to get a used Iphone3 and I can't seem to figure out how to get Internet without using wifi connection. Anyone know how to do so? Everything else works good.

Before you go there call your provider first and have them check the provisioning on the phone. They will ask if you did this when you go to the Genius Bar.

Does activating a used iPhone 1.0 by a new owner require a 2 year Contract

If a person buys a used iPhone 1.0 will they be required to sign a 2 year contract even if they have an existing AT&T account.

It depends on what you are talking about. If you buy a refurbished (used) iPhone directly from Apple or AT&T, then yes you will have to sign a contract. However if you buy a used iPhone from a friend, family or some other non-Apple/AT&T entity then no you can pay as you go.

Do you guys sell used iphones?

Hi Do You Guys Sell Used Iphones?

I think "you guys" refers to Apple ... I think you're asking if Apple's store sells used iPhones. I do not believe they ever do. Here is a link to their refurbished products:
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals
You are addressing Apple users here, not Apple company representatives.
If you choose to purchase a used iPhone from someone else, be extremely careful or you may end up with a previously stolen iPhone that would be useless to you.
