Issue of carrier and Iphone compatible networks

So I am currently on AT & T, but I want the freedom to go to any provider I want, so I'll buy an Iphone 7 + from the outset. I looked at a link at the bottom of the order page and it said something like 'see what your phone is compatible with the networks' and the way I read it if I buy a Sprint or Verizon phone they are retro-compatible with AT & T and of T-Mobile networks, but if I buy an AT & T or T-Mobile version that will not work for 2 other carriers Sprint or Verizon? Can anyone help clarify? I don't want to buy a phone that does not work on my current provider, but I also want the ability to switch to any carrier I want. Thanks in advance, Josh

The AT & T and T-Mobile models do not have a CDMA radio so if you are in an area where there is no LTE and Verizon you phone won't be able to connect.

  • Assign the carrier on iPhone sim free

    Hi, I hope someone can help

    DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM:

    I bought iPhone sim free 6s to Wal-Mart in the United States, recently, but planned to use in foreign carriers.

    When you pay at Walmart, asked me what phone carrier will be used on? But since I haven't decided yet which operator / plan will be more suitable for me I asked don't not to define the carrier at that time here.

    Now, I'm in Europe and I have the sim card by specific carrier and when I turned my iPhone and you try to save it on the network, it says INVALID SIM.

    QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE:

    1. is it possible to assign carrier to this iPhone right now - yes or no?

    2. If Yes:

    -who SHOULD do it?

    -What is the cost to do so?

    -What is the procedure to do so (it is only done through the site contact Web retailer, apple or iPhone must be shipped directly to the responsible party)?

    3. If there is not - what to do next? Any ideas?

    Of course, if clarifications are needed (imei, provider, country name), I post...

    Thank you for your support,

    If you tried to put a sim card into your phone and it came with invalid SIM card, it means that your phone is locked to the carrier that you have used previously that you bought the phone and only that carrier can unlock for you.

    When you bought the phone, what carrier sim did you use to activate the phone?  If you bought the phone at Wal-Mart and it was free and not unlocked sim, then it means that the phone freezes to the first carrier sim card that you insert into the phone, which looks like your phone has made.  We need to analyze this carrier to get your phone unlocked.  Only this carrier can unlock the phone.  Nobody else can.

  • iPad and iPhone 6 disconnection from the Wifi after IOS 10 improvement

    A problem with maintaining connectivity to my home wifi network, I noticed on my iPad and my iPhone 6.  I'll do an alert on the iPad (which is Wifi only, not LTE) that it cannot detect the Internet. He sees my router but says 'no Internet connection '.  Same thing is happening with the iPhone 6, which translates by he's going to LTE and eat in my data plan.  In both cases, I have to re - start devices and reconnect to my wifi network.  I'm having no problems with non - IOS devices (Samsung Nook, a Roku player and a Smart TV) with my wifi network at home - two Apple devices I am owner of running IOS 10.  Is there a problem with the maintenance of wifi connections?

    Hello rm2static,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that your iPad and iPhone 6 have been disconnect from your home network after updating to iOS 10. I can surely see how it would be about, so much more than other devices are connect well. I'm happy to help you to get this resolved with you.

    First of all, I recommend you to reset the network settings. Tap Settings > general > reset > reset network settings. This operation brings back all the network settings to the default settings, including the Wi - Fi networks and passwords, cell settings, VPN, and APN.

    If the problem persists, try with another Wi - Fi network. Additionally, make sure that your Wi - Fi router has been updated with the latest firmware.

    See you soon!

  • Time Capsule and nearby contradictory network of country Codes

    All my gear (Time Capsule 4th generation, MacBook Pro mid-2010 and iPhone 5) was purchased from resellers Apple supported in South Africa. They are all a few years now, but only recently my MacBook Pro and iPhone to my Time Capsule WiFi connections have been falling frequently and do not reconnect automatically. I have to turn off my WiFi on my MacBook Pro and turn it on again to reconnect. My favorite network is the 5 GHz range.

    I ran Diagnostics wireless and it lists this problem:

    The only problem is that the neighbouring network has the code to the right country, ZA, and my Time Capsule has one, Go bad, as my Time Capsule does not give me ZA option even though I bought it in South Africa from a supported Apple retailer:

    How is that?

    My Time Capsule firmware version is 7.6.7, my OS X 10.11.6 and my iOS 9.3.4.

    Your Apple dealer supported delivered for you... by mistake or other... an Apple product markets in Europe.

    You can contact the seller about the error and ask them to correct the error, since Apple does not provide users the ability to change the codes of the "region" on their products.

    In theory, a really good hacker... which includes the Apple programming... peut be able to change things, but to do this, you must give them full access to your private network, probably something you do not want to consider unless you knew the pirate very well.

  • problem syncing notes between mac and iphone

    Suddenly 6 months ago my notes stopped sync between my mac and my iphone. Synchronization between the iphone and the ipad still works. I have 'unchecked' syncing notes in icloud on all units, even disconnected my mac completely and back on to see if it would work, but no. When I check my iclouds units on my ipad, it lists only the ipad and iphone. And when I login to icloud in safari, showing notes on my phone and pad, not from my mac. So it seems that my mac is out of the loop. How can I me in?

    BTW, everything is fine, it's just my notes.

    If you have upgraded to a mobile device from Apple iOS 9 or a later version and then synchronize the Notes database to iCloud, then you won't be able to synchronize the Notes on a Mac with the same iCloud account until it is upgraded to OS X 10.11 or later version.

    Only the notes in the iCloud category will synchronize with iCloud. If you have any comments on my Mac, or synchronized with another network service, that they don't synchronize.

    If note that synchronization are not, please open the iCloud pane in system preferences. Make sure that you are connected to iCloud with the good Apple ID and the Notes selected. Uncheck and check again.

  • Parachuting works not with my laptop and iphone at home but works at my office?

    So, it's interesting.

    At work my MacBook Pro and the iPhone have no problem with Airdrop. But when I come home they will not see each other. They are on the same network Wifi and Bluetooth and Wifi turned on!

    Make sure that the MacBook Pro and iPhone are connected to the same Wi - Fi network. When you use a parachute, I suggest to change the settings to "everyone" where it says "who can see me?" while you are at home. Do this peut rectify the problem. If not, let me know simply by replying to this and I will send through additional assistance.

  • Why do I send you my MacBook, iPad and iPhone for you to replace my defective charger?

    So I just got a replacement wall chargers for my devices under the Exchange program of the taken wall Apple AC adapter (see https://www.apple.com/au/support/ac-wallplug-adapter/)

    When I followed the process after you have clicked on "Request a replacement via the web", I get the following message:

    Thank you.

    Your application has been submitted.

    Please save a PDF version of this page for your records. You can check the status of your request through check my repair status using your repair ID, shown on the left of this page.

    Please take your MacBook Pro (13 inch, late 2011) and the label below in any place of Australia Post, at your convenience. Agent Australia Post will scan the barcode on the label and appropriate offer packages that include a postage prepaid toll free. Do not include any other items, such as headphones, because they will not be returned to you.

    This label must then be attached outside of the package with your MacBook Pro (13 inch, late 2011) inside and the Australia Post agent sends the package to Apple.

    I get the same message for my iPad and iPhone. You have got to be a joke - for me to get a replacement card to load I have to send the whole device?

    And please do not suggest that I go to my Apple store for replacements - I did this morning and staff don't couldn't believe that they had already missed their replacements for 1400! Really? 1400 for an entire city?

  • I followed the instructions to set up the home between my Mac and iPhone sharing 6, but I don't understand all the music on my iPhone

    I followed the instructions to set up the home between my Mac and iPhone sharing 6, but I don't understand all the music on my iPhone

    I have confirmed:

    (1) devices are on the same network

    (2) I am connected to my AppleID with the same account

    3) are my OS up to date (Mac 10.11.2) (9.2 iPhone)
    (3) I closed iTunes and the App has reopened

    (4) I turned my iPhone off and rebooted (and confirms the foregoing)

    On my iPhone, I see in my music library, different ' kind' listed (e.g., classic, recently added, music of the 1990s, etc.) but they are all empty.

    Im hoping to see the music I have in iTunes on my Mac and play these songs on my iPhone.

    IM thinking, music that would be shared from my computer to my phone will be on the cloud?

    (I did not all default to add my music in the cloud at the moment).

  • IPhone 4 and Iphone 4s, not being not able to pick up officejet 6500 a - 710 to a printer while

    IPhone 4 and Iphone 4s, not being not able to pick up officejet 6500 a - 710 to a printer while

    my mother bought two, one for him and for me, I set his first, then returned to do mine.

    I managed to print ONCE! His works very well.

    I created his exactly the way I created his own. The other difference is our routers.

    I have not hers, not mine wired to the computer.

    I have reset the router, phone, computer, internet, printer box! its on the same WiFi as the computer and phones.

    the software is updated on the phones and the printer.

    I have a linksys router rangeplus wireless model # WRT110<>

    We will set an IP address of the printer:

    -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
    -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
    -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
    -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). Yours is 192.168.1.100 a.149.  We will use 192.168.1.200 for your printer.
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway

    -Enter for the first DNS 8.8.8.8.  Enter to the second DNS 8.8.4.4.
    -Click 'apply '.

    Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

    After that, you will have to redo 'Add printer' using the new IP address.

  • Four years and more: no network, no network, no network...

    Four years and more: no network, no network, no network...

    I have three Windows machines: two 7 running an XP running. I posted here and elsewhere to infinity, bought a new router (Cisco) and am not able to find even the most basic explanation for what is wrong. I am invited to a "user name" and password when I try to access the network (which, in the network and sharing Center, recognizes the other Windows 7 system).

    I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS "USER NAME". I walked so systematically the computer name, or the name used to identify my primary system (on which I work to establish the network connection). Then I copy and paste the password on this computer. I then - FOR FOUR YEARS - get a big red X and a logon error.

    I am middle-aged and refuses to learn all other operating systems. Microsoft holds my soul online. This isn't a screed; He is really sincere indignation that this issue is made infinitely more difficult to establish that she should NEVER have been.

    Thanks in advance for any help. I don't know even why I keep longer. (Yes, I ran a few offensively childish tool called Fix - It, who said that I have problems of network...)

    Oh, Tommy Stanley, please read again. I did, and the DOS prompt has three entries. The first was a Director. The second was invited. The third was my first and last name.

    BUT WHEN I TRY TO LOG ON TO THE NETWORK, THE NAME OF THE COMPUTER - THAT OF MY NAME ONLY (NOT THE THIRD ENTRY THAT APPEARED ON THE PROMPT BACK - I. E., MY NAME AND SURNAME) TO POSTER. How can I get the Windows security log - on, which lists the NAME of the COMPUTER and asks for the password and eternally rejects the connection to the network, either use administrator or guest or my name and surname? I am the administrator, then why don't the Security Windows log - they say "Administrator"?

    What is the meaning of your last question - the third listed name? If THIS is the name that appears on the Windows log - on, security why it doesn't appear? (Again, I have NO user account with my first and last name).

    You're not * the * administrator.  Since Windows Vista, you can be * a * user administrator-level, but only with some effort would you connect as * the * administrator account.

    If there is a name in this list (from the command, I have given you), it was your first and last name - which * is * a user on your computer.  You can choose to believe that or not – but it's done.

    Your user name * is * of course your name and first name (Yes, user names may have spaces, etc in them.)  It will not just "appear" anywhere... When you connect remotely to this computer to another, you must type in the full username and the password to access all the actions that the user shared...  Or... NOM_ORDINATEUR\NOM_UTILISATEUR.  So, for example if your computername was "ShenansPC" and your username is "Tommy Stanley", then you would need to put the quotation marks around that and your complete username would be "Stanley ShenansPC\Shenan" (the quotes help to manage the space).  -You will manually need to know that when connecting to a share on the computer "ShenansPC" - he does not know the first time for you.

    This will be particularly true for the Windows XP computer - but with the good use residential groups, not so much for between two windows 7 machines.

    Another way to look at the accounts of actual users on this machine...

    Press the "Windows" key and the "R" on your keyboard at the same time key to bring up the dialog box "RUN."

    Type:

    Control userpasswords2

    Click OK.

    It will list users 'Users' tab (display not 'Guest' or 'Administrator' - I think that if they are not activated.)  However, it is not necessarily where I want you to look at.  At the top is another tab (Advanced) - select it and halfway and then locate and click on the button "Advanced".  Which will open the consol lusrmgr where you can select 'users' in the left column and see in the column right or middle, a list of all users on the computer.  See your full legal name here?  That's because it * is * a user.  ;-)

    What do you mean 'network connection '?  You mean on the one hand you have created?  A folder that you shared or a printer?  If you try to manually map or use the browser of network card \\COMPUTERNAME\foldershare or \\COMPUTERNAME\printershare?

    Also, you said residential groups.  I think you should read the following article and follow through it.  It really explains things in detail and would like to get your two machines speaking Windows 7, I think that, at the very least.

    http://www.7tutorials.com/HomeGroup-feature-how-it-works

    You will probably need to reconfigure your homegroup - time two machines have the same OS and are on the same network is not because they just see and communicate without some configuration to make sure.  :-)

    Now - in addition - truthfully to make things easy, I suggest the purchase and installation of some SIN (storage attached network) houses that you essentially drop into your network and then accessed from all the computers on your network (whether with or without a user name or password - what is usually to you.)  Most are fairly simple to connect and give the advantage to have a place to stuff your local computers backup, but also a central location for media files, that you want to share among everyone on your network.  Start with a simple, like the GoFlex Home Network Storage System: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/network_storage/home-network-storage/ that would require very minimal knowledge (can you plug a cable or two and install the software?) to get there.  :-)

    Hi Arif,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Are you facing any problem during the installation of Windows updates? If Yes, do you have any error codes?

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to download and install the latest Chipset driver on the manufacturer's Web site and check if it helps.

    http://us.gateway.com/GW/en/us/content/drivers-downloads

    Method 2:
    I suggest you to use Visual keyboard to type the password on the login screen and check if it works.

    Use the keyboard to the screen (OSK) to type

    Method 3:
    If the issue occurs when you use the keyboard on the screen, this could be a problem with the keyboard. I suggest you to connect an external keyboard and check if it works.

    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an up-to-date report of the issue so that we can help you further.
