Using Verizon Iphone 5 on Canadian networks? (Bell)

Hi all,
I am moving to Canada for 6-12 months at the end of the year from Europe. I will be spending about a month in the USA before I move, and I wanted to buy a Verizon Iphone 5 when I arrive there. I want to buy a Verizon CDMA Iphone because I will be moving back to the USA after my contract is finished in Canada and then I plan on buying a Verizon plan. So basically I'm going USA--->Canada--->Back to USA.
I wanted to know: Can I buy the phone from Verizon (cash, not on a plan) when I arrive in the US initially along with a pay-as-you-go or prepaid sim card to be used for that month. Then when I get to Canada I want to get a plan from Bell (also a CDMA network from what I can tell), use that for 6-12 months and then buy a verizon plan when I return to the US? Basically I'm asking: What's the best way to go about buying an Iphone 5 in the US that will work on both US and Canadian plans? From what I can tell the Verizon Iphone 5's aren't locked to the network, but I'm not sure about the Canadian providers.
Thanks!
Alex

You can do a month to month no contract plan not prepaid Means you still need a credit check then pay full price and do a Canadian plan or use the local sim while there but be on a Verizon plan.

Hi Edward,
You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.

Anyone using Verizon iPhone 5 on GLOBE Philippines get LTE ???

I've read a few reports that Verizon's A1429 (CDMA) is able to get LTE on Globe Philippines if you get an LTE enabled nano-SIM card and get your account enabled for LTE. I've tried all of this but still to nothing. Not sure if Globe has really done the enabling of my account or not. Or if there is a such a thing.
Other reports have said that only A1429 (GSM) models (Non-North American) can get LTE on Globe Philippines. That would suck for me.
So can anyone using a Verizon iPhone 5 on Globe Philippines network confirm that they can get LTE?
Thanks.

I am having a similar problem. I can get phone and text but not internet.
How did you fix it?

Can I use my iPhone AT&T 3G network to connect my AE to my iPad? I have no home Internet provider.

I bought an AE and was told I could use my AT&T service to "use" my AE. All I get is the blinking amber light.

Not sure who gave you that advice but he/she was not correct. If your AT&T contract provides for "teathering" service option, you could use the iPhone as a wireless modem for your iPad, but it won't work for the AirPort Express, Extreme, or Time Capsule.
If you have this plan then you wouldn't need the AirPort base station for what your networking goal is.

Any way to use the iPhone on a WiFi network that requires me to..

1. Enter both username and password
2. Download a specific digital certificate before connecting
Can the iPhone do this? All the WiFi networks on colleges and universities here in Norway use the same login and password with a specific digital certificate.

OK, so your old iTunes library was on your PC and now the library is on your Mac? Do I have that right? Your iPhone and iPad were auto syncing to the PC and now you connect them to your Mac and it wants to clear out the media?
This is important, do you have in your iTunes library on your new Mac, the media you want now? Or are you trying to move your media by copying what is on the iPhone/iPad to your iTunes?

Using Verizon iPhone 5 on another carrier?

I've been reading around and from what I seen, Verizon's iPhone 5 is already unlocked.
So if I want to use the phone with another carrier, how would I go about that?
When I take the phone to the new carrier, would they be able to activate it no problem?
Is it possible to port my number with the phone as well?

What carrier are you thinking of going to. Verizon is a CDMA phone and AT&T and Sprint are GSM. So even if they are unlocked you can only use a CDMA phone with a provider that is CDMA.

How can I use my iPhone from my old network on my new network

Can I use my old phone that was on contract with movie star with my orange SIM card

Contact Moviestar to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it.

Using the iphone to access a network printer

Anyway I have a OKI c5150n laser printer on my network and was wondering if anyone can tell me if I can download the drivers to my iphone so I can print? I tried to go to the website OKI.com and download the drivers from my iphone but it doesnt seem to work.

No, you cannot print from your iPhone. Not yet. Let Apple know if you think this would be a good feature:

Imessage "not delivered" error to some people and not to others? Both using verizon iphones

I am using an iPod touch 5th gen.
Has worked really well sending Imessage. pretty much use it as a phone because there is no service where I live.
All of a sudden today I started getting "cannot deliver" or "message not delivered" errors when trying to text my friend. Yet it continues to text other friends as well. This error is also true with Facetime, and doesn't work when using an email or phone number (for a couple specific contacts)
Really confused as to why that would happen? Is that what happens if you get blocked may be?

And also the person(s) ive been trying to send it to are not recieving the messages (sometimes people have the error message displayed even though they get sent)
And they do have Wi-fi/data and haven't like recently moved or switched plans or anything.

I bought a verizon phone for a friend in India and he will be using a GSM network can he use the iphone 5c?, I bought a verizon phone for a friend in India and he will be using a GSM network can he use the iphone 5c?

I bought a verizon Iphone 5c for my friend in India and he will be using a GSM network will this phone work for him?

lol...that's priceless. i golf with 3 friends that used to be verizon users and all switched 2 years ago to get an iphone. i have an android. when they first got them, they would activate their gps golf app just because they could to show off their new toy (even though in phoenix, the courses we play HAVE gps built in to the golf carts...lol). they would input their cores into their apps that kept track of their handicap, scores, driving distance, etc (mind you, my android could do all of this as well). but then it came...we were running an hour and a half late and were meeting our wives for dinner. we play desert courses out side of the city. i called my wife to let her know we'd be late and not to show up for a while. they all 3 could not and asked to use my phone. normally i would've gladly handed it to them, but because they had been SO childish about showing off their toys i simply said "sorry...i can't. you guys all switched carriers and are now KILLIN my minutes since you are no longer in verizon's network." now i had told my wife to call their wives and pass on the message to meet us later....but i didn't tell them that because it was just WAY too much fun watching them sweat for the next 2 hours over how angry their wives were going to be that we would be at the restaurant 2 hours late.
if you REALLY want to up your brothers, you can pay for the hotspot feature ($20/month)...just for a month. the next time they can't send or recieve data, activate your hotspot feature and tell them they are welcome to use your wifi signal from your phone to make their iphone useable again....lol. and if they ever need to borrow it to make a call just let them know that you can't because they burn all of your minutes (if you have a limit) by remaining with at&t...lol.

How do I use my AT&T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

So I am planning on getting an unlocked verizon iPhone 5s but the thing is my carrier is AT&T. So how do I use my AT&T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

If you plan on using AT&T, why on earth would you purchase a Verizon iPhone? Doesn't make any sense. Yea, it will work on AT&T's network, but you won't get LTE, only 3G. LTE requires using a Verizon sim.
This is an extremely poor idea. Purchaase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, if you want to use AT&T's network.

Can i buy an iPhone 5 using verizon but use a tmobile nano sim?

I am going to buy an iphone 5 but i dont know if i can buy it under verizon and use a tmobile sim card? I do NOT have a verizon contract and i will not get one in the future. Will the phone work? Do i have to pay extra to use verizon and will they ask for an account number?

You can not currently purchase a Verizon iPhone 5 withou either already having, or establishing service with Verizon.
The SIM slot in the Verizon iPhone 5 is apparently unlocked as they are legally prevented from locking new devices as a condition of having won an auction for spectrum in the US.
There are known compatibility problems with T-Mobile's US network and iPhones, so even if you do get one, it will be effectively crippled on T-Mobile.

I have several questions: 1. When I connect my Iphone using Wi-Fi what can I then do? Why won't my Iphone recognize my home network run off of Airport Extreme, and the app Nike Ipod sensor never activates.

I went to Starbucks this morning and my Wi-Fi on my Verizon Iphone connected, what does this allow me to do? My Wi-Fi does not recognize my home network from which I connect wirelessly to my MacBookPro and to my Apple TV using Airport Extreme router, why? Lastly, what do about the app NIke + Ipod not working. The sensor does not activate even after walking a half mile.

It might be best to ask only one question in each post otherwise you may never be able to mark them as solved.

It should allow you to access the internet, read mail, etc.

Try restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). It may not be properly assigning an IP address to your iPhone.

HT4528 I have a verizon iphone 5c and I took out the SIM card just being curious and put it back in, now I can only use my phone on wifi and I can't use 4G or LTE strictly wifi. How can I fix this?

Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If that doesn't work, try resetting the network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
If that fails, you may possibly have damaged the SIM. Verizon will need to give you a new one.
Best of luck.

Can I use a Verizon iPhone 5S with a Japanese au SIM?

I was wondering if anyone knows if I can use a Verizon iPhone 5S on Japan's au with an au SIM card???
(Verizon iPhone 5S comes factory unlocked and freely accepts GSM nano SIMs from other US carriers. This question is specifically for people with firsthand knowledge of American phones working on Japanese networks with Japanese SIM cards.)
I'll be living in Japan for just 7 more months, so it doesn't make sense to buy an impossible-to-unlock Japanese iPhone now. I'll be back on Verizon when I move back to the States, so if I can use an American Verizon phone on au, I would love to buy one right now while I'm home in Hawaii for the holidays.

You can't. Doing so is not supported.
