Using USA iPhone 4 in Europe

I`ve bought iPhone 4 (Unlocked) in the USA. Actually I live in Russia. Will iPhone work right in my country?

If you actually bought an unlocked one (should have cost you $649 or $749 + tax) rather than a no contract phone ($599 or $699 + tax) then yes, it will work just fine.

    Can I use my iPhone in Europe?

    Indeed you can. Beware of data roaming, charges, however, where you are charged through the nose for a data connection abroad. Your phone company may sell overseas data plans, or you may consider getting a SIM card for one of the providers of the country you're visiting.
    You can turn off data roaming in Settings --> General --> Network --> Turn Data Roaming to 'off'.

  • Can I use my iPhone in Europe and will it work as a hotspot for my iPad?

    Can I use my iPhone in Europe and will it work as a hotspot for my iPad?

    It didn't work for me during my February 2013 visit to Switzerland. The Personal Hotspot feature on my iPhone 4S works fine when I am in the US. Upon arrival in Switzerland, my phone connected to the Swisscom network. Phone calls, SMS, Web, and E-mail worked fine on the iPhone. Funny is the Personal Hotspot feature completely disappeared from the settings menu while there. It reappeared once I was back in the US.

  • Question about using the iPhone in Europe without making calls.

    I wanted to know if I could use my iPhone on a trip to Europe. I don't plan to use the phone to make any kind of calls, just to check and send e-mail and maybe use a messenger to communicate.
    Would I be charged in anyway? What steps could I take to avoid any.
    Thank you.

    Regarding calls when roaming internationally, the following was copied from this link.
    http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/international/roaming/faq.jsp
    When your device is on:
    Calls that you do not answer that are routed to the AT&T voicemail system will be charged as an international roaming incoming call to your device.
    In addition, the foreign carrier's routing of that call to the AT&T voicemail system may generate an outgoing call charge from your device's location to the U.S.
    These charges apply even if the caller disconnects from the voicemail system without leaving a message.

  • Will I be able to use my iPhone in Europe?

    I'm going to Europe (germany and bosnia) in a few days. I currently have the iPhone 4 with the data plan and blah blah and I was wondering if I could use my camera, go on twitter, facebook, instagram if i'm connected to a wifi network and not get charged extra money? I wouldn't call or text anyone just use twitter facebook, and my camera. Would I get charged extra money?

    Try this. Turn on airplane mode. Once that is active, try to turn on wifi and connect to your home wifi or a public wifi hotspot.
    If you can do that here, you can do that process in Europe. With airplane mode all the the radios are turned off and you won't be charged roaming.

  • Using USA iPhone 4s in New Zealand

    1)  I know from reading a travel book the standard US iPhone will not just work in New Zealand.  We recently upgraded iPhone to 5s  and have a old 4s that will be unlocked from ATT, no current service, we don't mind taking it on a trip, would also be handy as a camera for my wife.  There's no point in our taking our new 5S to New Zealand but I don't know much about iPhones.  Is it possible to buy a chip to make the 4s usable in New Zealand?  We don't plan on calling home or anything, but a phone can be handy for general use in travel.  Is it worth it or is there some better alternative for phone service?  I know in the US it is becoming very difficult to find a payphone anywhere, and here for a 3 week trip I would just recommend somebody buy a $30 no-contract phone with 60 minute/90 day service.
    2) The 4s currently runs iOS6-something.  The phone is an 8GB model so I am highly reluctant to upgrade it to iOS8 because this will only leave 3GB for 3 weeks of photos for her.  Just leave it?

    If you get the device unlocked by AT&T, you should be able to use a local SIM in the device. The same would be so for the 5s, just that it would not support  the LTE bands in New Zealand. Unfortunately, to complete the unlock on the device requires a restore as new in iTunes, which will load iOS 8.1.2. Your call on that one.

  • Have you used an Iphone in Europe?

    Am traveling to Europe in May.  Want advice from others who have used an Iphone4 while traveling.  Thanks.

    Hello hellie68!
    That's sounds like an awesome trip! gina7239 has some great ideas for your travel! You can turn off the cellular data, or you can put the phone in airplane mode. Settings>Airplane mode. WiFi is a great alternative while traveling internationally. I have also provided you a link with our global rates. You will need to make sure to call our global team before you leave to setup any international plans. Their number is 908-559-4899.

  • Is it possible to use an iPhone that is bought in USA in Europa?

    USA iPhone in Europa??

    Well, look at your answer: "Should work...", yea, that's a definitive answer all right, .

  • Can I use old iPhone 4S in Europe for WiFi, w/o cellular service? A few Qs not found in Support Community-

    I wish to upgrade to iPhone 6, but first want to know if I can use my iPhone 4S for camera, iMessaging and apps (i.e. What’s App) on Wifi after it is disconnected from U.S. Verizon network?
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.2 (reluctant to upgrade to 8.1.2), Verizon, U.S. only
    Mac Mini, OSX 10.9.5 (reluctant to upgrade to OSX Yosemite)
    I’ve read all of the old posts (2011 thru July 2014), but still have questions.  This is what I understand:
    Upgrade iOS and apps with iTunes, before transferring to new iPhone 6
    Change the name of my old iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201997 (if I wish to name my new iPhone what my old one was called)
    Enable airplane mode, then re-enable just wifi
    Activate new iPhone
    Transfer data to new iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2109
    QUESTIONS:
    Q: When connected to WiFi in England, Italy and Sicily - do I keep it in Airplane Mode even though it has been disconnected from Verizon and I will have an active iPhone 6 on my Verizon account being used by my husband at home in the U.S.?
    Q: Will there be a problem sync’ing to iTunes in the future, or my Mac Mini?  Will it conflict with my new iPhone 6?  Or is it just considered a different device, once it has a new name. 
    Q: How can I message my husband in the U.S. with the iPhone 6 from Europe using my old iPhone 4S on Wifi only?  Do I use my iCloud account, like I do from my Mac Mini to my iPhone?  Or can I set up a new iMessage account on the old iPhone 4S
    I appreciate any insights and answers.  Thanks in advance!
    Daphne

    It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
    I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
    Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
    To answer your questions,
    1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
    2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
    3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
    Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
    Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

  • USA iphone 5 in Europe

    Hi, I am David, from Spain. In the coming days I am going to travel to USA and I am thinking about buying an iphone 5. Does someone know if it is possible to use it in Spain? Are there any kind of problem with the frecuency bands? Thank you very much.

    The unlocked iPhone 5 sold in the US will not work on LTE networks in Europe. In addition, the warranty is only valid in the country of origin. (The EU is considered one country for warranty and service purposes). Don't buy an iPhone in the US if you intend to use it primarily in Europe. Buy one in Europe.

  • Does an iphone 6 from usa work in europe?

    does an iphone 6 from usa work in europe?

    I've used my unlocked iPhone 4 in Aus with a Telstra SIM, and also used my AT&T iPhone 5S with international roaming.  Both work just fine.  AFAIK, the iPhone 6 is a "world phone" which works on multiple GSM bands, so it should work fine too.  And according to this page, you'll get LTE speeds too.
    As to pricing, are you comparing similar phones?  I don't know if the Australian telcos have changed their policies since I used to live there, but it used to be that you bought your phone outright, at full price, and could then use it with whichever carrier you like - an unlocked phone.  Conversely, most phones sold here in the USA are tied to a two-year service contract with the carrier.  The carrier therefore subsidizes the purchase price, secure in the knowledge that the customer is tied into paying them for monthly service for the next 24 months.  Those phones are locked to that carrier at least until that contract expires, and cannot be used with other US carriers' SIMs or with local SIMs when taken overseas.
    If you compare unlocked phones in both countries, you'll probably find the prices are pretty similar.

  • I am currently living in Europe and using my iPhone on airplane mode only with wifi. My iMessage switched to my e-mail account and when I go to the settings to switch back to my phone number that isn't an option to click on. How do I get it back?

    I am currently living in Europe and using my iPhone on airplane mode when I have wifi. My iMessage is switched to my icloud e-mail address and when I go to my setting to switch it back to my number, it is grayed out and not an option to click. This was working before with my number so I know that it's not from being on airplane mode. How do I get it back to my number?

    They need to go into their settings>messages and make sure iMessage is on.  Also they should click on the send & receive button to make sure their phone number is selected. 

  • How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening.

    How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening. I don't want to use my iPad to take the video...too large/bulky. And I WON'T have a computer with me...I purchased the iPad to take with me so I could use the RDC to my home computer and avoid taking my computer at all. Is this possible?

    here is a cheaper solution than camera kit and a lot easier if you have WIFI available.
    I use the PhotoSync APP (I think its a $1.99) will transfer videos and photos over WIFI to any other IOS device or even PC/MAC. Great app since I like doing video and photos on my IPHONE and transfer to IPAD2 without synching through computer or doing cloud based storage.
    You can even send photos/videos from your MAC/PC to your IOS devices that way too. Makes it so much easier.

    No. Return it and get your money back if still within the 30 day return window. All US iPhones are carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked.

  • Can I use the iPhone 4s as is in Europe?

    Can you use a iPhone 4s as is in Europe?

    Yes, if you enable the international roaming feature with your phone company before you travel.  However, charges can be expensive, so you need to check with your phone company beforehand.
