Wanna know if it unlocked & VAT

Hi every body ..
I do plan to buy a new ipone4 from UK, i wanna know if it unlocked or no because i am from Kuwait and what a bout the VAT refund ?
Regards Hamad

I believe this to be correct, as many people have reported their apple store bought iPhones being locked. However to order online you will require a UK billed credit card and a UK delivery address.
With the VAT part I think you will be issued a form to submit to customs to claim it back as you exit the country, has been a while since I worked in retail though.

  • I just bought an unlocked Iphone 4s and I wanna know if I need to take an Iphone plan or a 30$ plan could be enough and also if I only use it on wi-fi do I need to have datas in my plan?

    The iPhone is designed to always have an internet connection as long as there is an available wi-fi network you have access to, or cellular reception. MMS requires a data connection with your cell phone carrier, which can't be exchanged over wi-fi. If your carrier supports visual voicemail with the iPhone, visual voicemail messages are downloaded to the iPhone via the carrier's cellular data or internet network only, not via wi-fi. If you ever need to make use of the Find My iPhone feature, it will be worthless without a data connection with your carrier's cellular network.
    If you don't plan on having a data plan or you can't afford it, your money was wasted purchasing an iPhone. This likely makes no difference since most carriers require a data plan with the iPhone.

    As long as you purchase the GSM (AT&T) version, not the Verizon version, it will not be carrier-locked.

    Only your friend can unlock it, either by giving you his Apple ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices - please see:

    There is no way at all it can be unlocked without his doing this.

  • I wanna know if my warranty works in Brazil???

    I wanna know if my warranty works in Brazil??? I bought my Iphone in EUA but i live in Brazil..

    No, that is not correct. As has been verified by many, many users, the iPhone warranty is not international, regardless of the model. A few users have reported that they were able to get their unlocked GSM replaced in a different country, but very few, and only by a retail Apple Store. Of course 09dejuno can call Apple Support and ask, but if he/she did not purchase the iPhone in Brazil, the request for support will probably be denied.

    I wanted to know how to unlock my iphone, since I had to restore it and when it restarted, it appeared this message: "The SIM card que you currently have installed in this iphone is from a carrier that is not supported under the Currently actuvation policy that is assigned by the server activion. this is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request que this iphone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information. "
    I need help, I use my phone for everything enclusive to work. I appreciate if you can help. I'm from Brazil. My name and giullia.

    Did you purchase this device from Apple or an authorized reseller? It sounds as if you had a device that was jailbroken/hacked to operate on your carrier. Upon updating the iOS, it is now locked back to the original carrier the device was locked to.
    Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize an unlock. You will need to make contact with that carrier and see if they provide unlocking services, and if they do, if you qualify for an unlock. Otherwise, you are out of luck. One that carrier can take care of the unlocking.

  • I'm from Brazil and I would like to know if the unlocked iPhone 5 which advertesed on the Apple Store webpage works fine in Brazil. Could someone from Apple please confirm that?

    Hello Apple Support Team,
    I'm from Brazil and I would like to know if the unlocked iPhone 5 which is advertesed on the US Apple Store webpage works fine in Brazil. Could someone from Apple please confirm that for me?
    Thanks in advance.

    The iPhone bought unlocked from the Apple store in the US will work in Brazil on GSM. Nevertheless the LTE frequencies might be different.
    Be aware that:
    You will NOT be able to order from the US Apple online store. You will have to go to a physical Apple store in the US.
    The warranty is only valid in the US and you will not be able to get warranty service in Brazil.
    With all of that, why not buy the iPhone in Brazil?

  • I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them

    I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them or get them out of my trash and they keep multiplying. And to make matters worse, I tried renaming them as pdf files thinking that might do the trick.

    oh boy ! I'd ask you if you knew what kind of files they were or where they came from, but I don't think you could help me a bunch. Try going to the Utilities folder and running Disk Utilities.  If you want to empty the Trash and it won't empty, go to the finder and choose "secure Empty trash". Worse case scenario-you may have to reinstall Snow Leopard, but I don't know what else to suggest. If you have a DVD of Snow Leopard, boot up from that,  and reinstall the OS. This will not touch the stuff you have on your Hard Drive, then you can update from 10.6 to 10.6.8, otherwise Onyx? Maybe those files are part of the OS which needs them to keep running.  if you hold down the Shift key on reboot, you can reboot in Safe mode and maybe you can take the files out of the trash that way
    good luck

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • Wanna know what kind of effect that used on this video?

    wanna know what kind of effect that used in transformation in this video or can we  just crop the effect .

    That transformation is a result of careful planning, 3-D modeling, and layering. It is not just an effect. 3-D tracking, camera tracking, match moving, rotoscope, keying, and other effects can be used to create this kind of transformation. Without careful preproduction planning this kind of a shot/effect is nearly impossible.
    If you already knew that then what part of the transformation is giving you troubl?

  • I don't have space on iPhone and iPad anymore.. So I bought 10GB on iCloud and backup both electronics. So what I wanna know is can I delete my apps and pics in order to get more space on my devices

    I don't have space on my iPhone and iPad anymore.. So I bought 10GB on iCloud and backup both devices. So what I wanna know is can I delete my apps and pics in order to get more space on my devices?

    You can delete apps (which will also delete their content), but they will only be redownloadable whilst they remain in your country's store - none of your iTunes downloads (apps, music, ibooks etc) use any of your iCloud storage, iCloud is for your backups (e.g. app's content, camera roll photos, messages, homescreen layout).
    To delete an app, press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'
    You can delete photos from your iPad, but if you want them back then you should copy them to your computer first.
    Copying photos to a computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    You can also copy your downloads (apps, music, films etc) to your computer's iTunes by connecting your iPad and/or iPhone to it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
