Unlocked iPhone 4s outside the US?
I have two questions please.
I'm currently in London and I'll be in the US (NYC) next week and I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 4s for my brother in Morocco.
I'm sending the iPhone with my American friend who is visiting Morocco and will be staying with my family.
So, my questions are:
1) Is the iPhone 4s available in any Apple store in NYC? Would I just go and buy it or should I reserve it days/weeks before?
2) Will my brother in Morocco need to do anything for the iPhone to work properly (like activating it) or it will just work automatically since it's unlocked?
I saw some videos on youtube about people activating their iPhone needing Wi-Fi and some of them were not successful. I just wanna make sure that everything's gonna be all right cause it's a long way.
Answer #1: Yes you will easily be able to fine the Apple iPhone 4S at pretty much any store that sells apple products.
Answer #2: If it is a Factory Unlocked phone then you will be able to put his simcard in there and it work fine. You just need to make sure that whatever carrier he is on supports unlocked iPhone's and Vice Versa. Also make sure that Apple supports that carrier.
Yes if you have the money to buy at full price sure you can get it. I think the wireless service in morroco will be the ones who can say if they can activated or not, that depends on the wireless companies in Morroco. Is that you in your profile pic? Are you from Morroco if you do you know how the companies work over there?
- Will my iphone work as normal outside the UK? I'm going to Holland in a few weeks and I'm planning on taking my iphone with me. Will my phone still work as usual whilst i'm out of the UK? And will I still be able to use 'Find my iphone' in case I lose it while I'm in Holland?
- Why can't I use internet on my iphone outside of my house? My Wi-Fi works perfectly fine when I'm in my house, but when I'm away from my house i can't go on the internet.
- What can I do for an iPhone that was left outside all night? It has been raining heavily all night where I'm. I know it's irresponsible to leave it out all night, but I didn't mean to. I honestly thought it was inside on charge. My mother is mad at me and I have been called "irresponsible". I don't want it to die.
- Unlocking Iphone 4s outside USA? One of my uncles bought me an i phone 4s from USA. But it's a locked version so I can't use it here in Sri Lanka. Can I know is there any way of unlocking the Iphone safely? And what happens to the contract with at&at if I unlock it here? Do we have to pay anything to at&at or something? I can't buy an unlocked Iphone because it's too expensive for me.
