Using unlocked USA-sourced GSM Pre 2 in the UK
A friend has kindly loaned me his unlocked Pre 2 for my upcoming trip to the UK. I am planning to install a 'Three' pay-as-you-go SIM card when I get there, and set it up with my existing WebOS Profile that I currently use with my Sprint Pre.
Is there a special way that I need to do a factory-reset on the Pre 2 to use it with my Profile?
Are there any issues using another Pre in a different country with my profile?
Thanks for any advice.

1) Can you actually buy an unlocked sim free iPhone 5s in New York right now?
If you mean walk into an Apple store and walk out with an unlocked iPhone 5s... no. Not unless you're very very lucky and one of the first people in line when they open the doors after getting a fresh shipment in.
2) Is there an export duty to pay on the phone if it is intended to be used in a country outside of the US?
The US does not charge an export duty. Your county may charge import duties.
3) Are there pay as you go carriers that I can use for the week I'm in New York?
Not and get full functionality of the iPhone, no. There are a number of them you can use for calls and text messaging (SMS), but data, MMS messaging, etc. will be problematic.
4) Will it work on UK networks including 4G networks, is there a particular model number I need to get?
No. It will NOT work on LTE networks outside of the US.
5) Will the warranty be valid in the UK or will the phone need to be shipped to the states if it develops a fault?
No. The warranty will only be valid in the US. You can NOT ship it to Apple. You can send it to someone you know in the US and they can carry it in to an Apple Store.

Should we Use cache seeding iBots to pre-cache the reports ?
Hi Everyone,
We have requirement from client to improve the performance of some reports.We have a very old RPD and it is really huge so we don't want to do much on database side for performance tuning.
Will it be a good idea to use cache seeding iBots to pre-cache the reports ?
Most of the reports which are having performance issue are having some 5-6 columns and one key column is having some 30+ choices in column selector.So for each column selector view we will have to create a ibot which will again be a huge task.Can you pls guide how to approach this?
Thanks in advance !
Aarti Chawlahi Aarti,

30+choices in column selector will definitely have performance issues..bcz each and every time the report is going to refresh .have u enabled the cache some what better .Whats the issue of using existing report by enabling the cache seeding in ibots?
Thanks,

Can i use a USA apple gift card in the UK
Hi please can i convert my apple gift card that i bought in the US. Is it possible that i can use the gift card in the UK, or perhaps i you can convert it. I've had this gift card for almost a year since i got back from US.
Thank You for your time.Expanding on what Niel said, you can neither use that card in the UK nor get Apple to convert it (and we're all just fellow users here, by the way). Give or sell the card to someone in the US.
Regards. -
I have two questions. Are unlocked iphone 5 now available in Appple Stores in US? Can i use a factory unlocked iphone 5 (GSM) anywhere outside the United States?
The Apple (Republic of Ireland) online store has the unlocked Iphones 4, 4S and 5 for sale. They are dear but worth it. I ordered the unlocked I phone 5 last week. That said, retail Apple Stores do and will not carry the Iphone line instore. They do however sell some accessories for all Iphones but thats as far as the Irish retail stores go.
Its obvious to me that the Apple sales strategy for the US is different to the Irish one, so your retail stores may carry the unlocked versions at some point in the future.
Sorry I could not be of more help.. -

I want to unlock the iphone 4 it was used in USA , presently i want to use in INDIA pls advice how to unlock
Here's AT&T's iPhone unlocking requirements & how to get your phone officially unlocked:
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414532&cv=820#fbid=T8xceTXwiob
If you don't meet those requirements, AT&T will not authorize the unlocking of your iPhone. If that's the case, no one here can help you, & Apple can't/won't.
Only AT&T can authorize the official unlocking of your phone. -
Is there any difference between an unlocked Iphone sold in australia and the USA and if I bought one from the USA what would I have to do to use it.
An unlocked phone is an unlocked phone. It's sold without a SIM card. You have to get a SIM card from the carrier you want to use, with an account set up, insert the SIM and activate the phone in iTunes.
Unlocked phones sold by the USA online Apple store can only be shipped to a US address and paid for by a US credit card
The only difference between an officially unlocked iPhone sold in the US and Australia is the warranty. The warranty is valid only in the country of sale. If you buy the phone in the US and return to Australia, if it breaks you have to ship it to a US resident who will get it to Apple and return it to you. It can't be shipped direct in either direction. -
Need help with using Factory Unlocked iPhone 4 (GSM) in US
Hi all I have an factory unlocked iPhone 4 (GSM) which is bought overseas. I will come to the US soon but I don't know how can I continue using with the US carriers.
Any solution?If it is truly unlocked, just sign up for a plan with AT&T when you get to the US and insert the MicroSIM. AT&T will not permit pre-paid plans on iPhones. T-Mobile will, but they are not a supported carrier and you will not get 3G data speeds, only Edge. Other features may not work correctly such as MMS messaging, FaceTime, etc.

has an old iphone 3gs that was not in usage for awhle. I called ATT and had it unlocked officially. After resetting it here in USA I gave it as a gift to someone to use abroad with forign sim card and phone service.
However, at the foreign company office they were told that USA iphones can not be used outside USA.
Is that true?
So How can they use it abroad?I'm fairly certain you should be able to use it abroad if it was unlocked by AT&T.
Did you restore it as a new phone and get a screen that said something similar to "Congratulations, your iPhone is unlocked"?
If so, it should work on just about any GSM carrier, though the other person would want to make sure their carrier supports the iPhone. I was able to use my US iPhone 4 in London just fine.
They may not have full functionality for data speeds outside the US, but that's the only issue I can think of. And I don't think that would affect the 3GS since it can't use anything faster than 3G anyway.

Can I use an iPad with 3G purchased in the USA in Brazil?
Can I use an iPad with 3G purchased in the USA in Brazil? The Apple iPad sold in the USA is configured to be used with the cellular networks operated by Verizon and AT&T. What I am wondering is whether either of those networks can work with the cellular companies that operate in Brazil? Does anyone know?
Thanks
LuisNo if the iPad was purchased for Verizon's network which is a CDMA network. The iPad for Verizon's network does not have a SIM card slot.
Yes if the iPad was purchased for ATT's network which includes a SIM card slot. The GSM iPad sold in the U.S. is not sold as carrier locked. -
What does Factory Unlocked International Version GSM Only? what's the difference from other iphon5 specs? pls explain
Only GSM/LTE iPhones can be purchased unlocked. CDMA iPhones are always locked to their specific carrier for CDMA use, though some may either have the GSM portion unlocked or will unlock upon request assuming any necessary requirements are met.

If you had already removed the device from 'Find My iPhone' in iCloud, then you jus tneed to powercycle the device in order to activate it.
Source: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
"After the device is removed from the previous owner’s account, turn the device off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top-right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally."
If it has not been removed, then the activation lock is still active.
If the previous owner cannot remove the device from their account there is nothing you can do unless the place you purchased it from will give you a refund.
Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5818
What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
How do I check for Activation Lock before purchasing a used device?
When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
Turn the device on and slide to unlock.If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
Begin the device setup process.After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in to icloud.com/find. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process. -
i have an iphone 4s i used to USA, when i come in Haiti and put another sim card it asks me to activate it.
i cannot activate it. how can i know if it's unlocked or not?As Kilted Tom said, make sure that you speak with your previous provider. ATT will direct you to a website and have you enter in some information which will determine if you qualify for the unlocking status. After you complete that, you will need to restore your phone as new through iTunes. Make sure that you have a backup to iCloud in order to retrieve your content and data after you restore your device.

I want to buy an New iPad(4th generation) WIFI CELLULAR, but i not live in U.S. I live in Colombia and want it with cellular. somehow to buy the iPad with cellular that comes unlocked for my GSM local carries?
They may be purchased unlocked at full price. But whether you can use them in Brazil depends on whether you have GSM service there.
Note that if you buy in the US then any warranty work will require you to bring the device to the US for service. The US warranty is only good in the US, not in Brazil. You would be better off buying it in Brazil which will also save you duty and import taxes plus US sales tax.
