Q: help with smashed screen

Sorry about your accident... Regardless of driving ability, you are going to need to take your iPhone to an Apple Authorized SERVICE Provider. You can locate one near your current location by going here > https://locate.apple.com/ =  and providing the filtering info as the picture illustrates

hope this helps

You may also have a problem since your device is from Australia. The local Apple stores in the US cannot provide a proper device to replace yours. You may have to get someone to provide you a replacement from Australia.

What Chris says MAY be true. If the AASP does not have a replacement PART - say if it is just the clear plastic face covering the display, the AASP may have that (or may have a screen as well) - AASPs are a bit different from Apple in that they may be more akin to your local TV repair shop.

I don't know where you're from, but there are no AASPs in the US that can service iPhones. ONLY Apple can service them.

Apple doesn't replace the display on the 4S. They will replace the entire phone.

An out of warranty replacement for the 4s is $199. But as I said, the problem is your regional phone. You may have to see about purchasing a non-contract phone at Wal-Mart or something like that, but I would see what Apple can do for you. Here is a list of stores in Georgia.

Georgia

• Alpharetta, North Point
• Atlanta, Cumberland Mall
• Atlanta, Lenox Square
• Atlanta, Perimeter
• Augusta, Augusta
• Buford, Mall of Georgia

amigo,

all I know is that one can go to  https://locate.apple.com/ =  and provide the filtering info as the picture illustrates

As I cannot go further because I am not able to provide an actual address in Savannah, GA - then pick a carrier - I have no idea what path anyone would be led down thereafter.

I would add - CALL whatever result appears before making a trip.

your solution is to get what Law Enforcement refers to as a "Burner Phone" - just a phone to use here until you are able to get home - shouldn't be too expensive -

Just to make calls, text message & check email does not require an iPhone, just a SmartPhone.

I realize they are global and you can purchase something here, it is just that the iPhone warranty is not international, and service is only supplied in the country of purchase. A phone purchased in Australia cannot receive warranty/post-warranty support in the US. Just trying to help.

You sound as if you are one tough, smart 'Sheila' - best luck in your endeavors and stay here - G'Day - ÇÇÇ

You're welcome. As stated earlier, you are probably better going to Wal-Mart and getting a Go phone, or as ChitlinsCC called it, a burn phone. In other words, they do not have a contract and use a pre-paid SIM to work, and cannot be traced to a carrier and/or user like a contract phone can. Good luck and if you have any other questions, you can come back.
