Purchasing Iphone online from Dubai
Hi,
I am presently in Dubai. I would like to purchase Iphone online from the US site and deliver it to an address in USA. Can I make the payment using my credit card of Dubai?
Give it a try, but usually, Apple requires a credit card and billing address in the country from in which the store is located. If you buy in Dubai you will find that FaceTime is disabled.
Whether or not you'll be able to get FaceTime depends on where it came from and where you are:
iPhones originating from Israel or outside the Middle East(except Pakistan) will have FaceTime worldwide. If it's missing on these, check the device’s restrictions, search for it, or redownload it from the iTunes App Store.
iPhones which have AH or HB just before the slash in their model numbers work the same as those in #1. To check this, choose Settings, General, and About.
iPhones which have AB, AE, or UR just before the slash in their model numbers will only have FaceTime in Egypt, Qatar, Oman, Jordan, Lebanon, Bahrain, or Kuwait; it's tied to SIM cards from those countries. While Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates lifted the ban on it, the SIM cards there won't enable it at this time.
