Using iPhone in everywhere which bought in the U.S.
I bought an iPhone 4s in the U.S. They told me I can use it in everywhere, coz the phone is unlock. But now I am in Taiwan, I can't use it. I try to called the Taiwan apple service, they said I should jailbreak it. I heard afrer jailbreak, I can't update new software. So, what should I do now?? Thanks
Dont jailbreak!
Refer to your sales receipt, you got at purchase and chaeck, if it says your phone should be unlocked or locked. If it is older it might have an AT&T SIM lock. If so contact the carrier (AT&T) for unlock. If it is supposed to be unlocked, contact the AppleRetailStore, where you bought it and have them process the unlock, because they do not always do it automatically if you dont request it.

I have bought an used Iphone 5. I dont have the password for the existing login id of the old owner. How do i use the phone and change the log in id?
Unfortunatly the only way that you can get it off is to get the old user to input the password. You may need to contact that old user and see if he can put the old password in. hope this helps.

I'm using Iphone 5 .After updating it with the latest software i.e iOS 7.0.6 I'm not able to see the wats app and imsg on my notification center when my phone is locked until and unless i activate the "Show on Lock Screen" under each application. which was not same as in the earlier software version.I dnt want my messages or watsapp msges to be displayed on home screen when locked but should be displayed on the notification center on lock condition.
Please suggest a solution or @Apple please get a software release which can remove this bug .We aren't Apple, just users like you. Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Where did you purchase this. The US phones do not come with the SIM removal tool anymore. They haven't for some time now. I'm not even sure it comes with any of the devices anymore. You can just straighten out a paper clip and do the same thing.

Use iphone to coneect a laptop to the internet
Is it possible to use iphone to connect a laptop to the internet?
In other words is it possible to use the iphone as an access point?Just an update about cost (really triggered by another interrelated post “Transfer files to iphone over usb (no wifi) then mail them...”)
In Greece Vodafone allows data exchange from tethering as part of the main data package which you get if you want with a subscription. There are various packages, currently one for 500MB extended to 1GB for the 1st year costs around 5€. That's actually added to the main phone package, so for about 40-50€ / month you have about 3 hours talk time + the 500MB/1GB data.
Don’t know whether you consider that as expensive or not.
Actually, before discovering tethering I never went beyond the 200MB in a month without considering the extent of internet usage. Tethering won’t really make any difference in the data exchange volume since my intention is to use it in emergency situations anyway.

If you live in India ,buy in India
a US purchase will only work 3G outside the US and you will have no warranty
If India is your country you can use an India sourced iPhone in US on roaming but on contract in your home Country
