Can I use an unlocked T-Mobile IPhone5s purchased from apple online with a Turkish carrier in Turkey?

Can I use an unlocked T-Mobile IPhone5s with a Turkish carrier in Turkey? I purchased it in Apple Store online.
Do I need to make a transaction with or contact T-Mobile when I use it with my new turkish carrier in Turkey?

Hmmm, I just called Apple, and they claim that the phones are proprietary to the carrier, and TMobile phones can only be used on TMobile (even though GSM and unlocked), and they (Apple) cannot say if they could be used on AT&T, and suspect they could not. 
I'm not sure I believe them (as it says on the website that the TMobile phones can accept an international SIM when traveling), but don't think I can take the chance.  I wonder if I could get one, try it, and return it if it wouldn't work with AT&T? 
It affronts me to spend full price to get a locked phone from AT&T!
Anybody have any more ideas?
Thanks!

    Yes, as long as that country supports GSM networks... most do, verify yours.  ATT iPads are not locked.

  • Need confirmation that an iPhone 6 (T-mobile version purchased from Apple Store) works with a European SIM card?

    Can anyone confirm 100% that an iPhone 6 ("contract free" T-mobile version purchased from Apple Store) works with a European SIM card? Has anyone tried it yet? Lots of speculation so far, but no concrete answers yet. Thanks!

    Perhaps and perhaps not. 
    The T-Mobile phone comes with a T-Mobile sim card inserted, so what you need to do is take that sim card out of the phone without activating it and insert the sim card that you want to use in the phone and then activate it.  The phone should and might work then, but only on 2g and 3g - due to the frequency differences you won't be able to get 4g/LTE on the phone.
    Remember if you do this you won't have warranty cover for the phone either - if you buy in the US, then its only valid for the US and no other country.

    I recently migrated my MacBook from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8, using the Snow Leopard CD I purchased from Apple. Since then I have noticed a strange ozone smell coming from the MacBook in the area where the hinges are to open and close the unit. I was told by Apple that it probably is not serious and is coming from the fans in the MacBook. It is true that the smell/odor is more intense when the fans are working. Apple said I should take the MacBook to an Apple Store to have the hardware checked out. Everything seems to be working correctly. I am backing up automatically wirelessly to a Time Capsule, which I had not done until recently, although I had purchased the Time Capsule in 2009. I have not noticed this odor before. Does anyone suspect something more serious that may be going on?

    You may be smelling it because with the new OS the processor is having to work harder causing it to get hotter then it would with the other OS.  I can't say there is nothing wrong, but what could be happening is just that, it's getting hotter so the fan is spinning faster and moving more air so you are getting more of the smell then you would before.  I would still continue to back it up, and take it to the Apple Store at a Genius Bar and have them look at it to make sure.  Was the computer ever in a smoky environment??

  • Can I Use Airport Express for Airplay and a non-apple router with streaming capabilities on the same network?

    I want to do the following things but can't find one device that fits all purpose.
    Wi-Fi router that has USB port to share external hard disk wirelessly to all devices (Mac, Samsung Smart TV, PC, Ipad, Iphone) along with inbuilt torrent download capability that also has a 3.5mm jack to do airplay.
    Greedy? Yes I know but why can't we have it all I ask.
    Airport Express severs Wifi Router + Airplay purpose
    Then there are other non-apple routers in market that satisfy my need to attach external hard disk and stream to the devices mentioned (Note: Timecapsule will not stream to my Smart TV)
    So I am thinking why not connect both Airport Express and a second non-apple router and get best of both worlds.
    Is it possible?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Is the blackberry classic unlocked? and can I use it on China Mobile GSM if I visit China?

    Two problems that bother me now. Can I buy an unlocked blackberry classic from Verizon? Can I use it on China Mobile GSM carrier if I could buy?
    thanks

        We certainly hope that you don't need to worry about anything related to Verizon Wireless, wys515. The great news is that all of our LTE global-capable devices, such as the Blackberry Classic, are already unlocked and ready to use with a compatible local SIM without any extra steps from us. If you have an existing Verizon Wireless account for while you're in the U.S., you can make your purchase through http://bit.ly/nD0WuY. Otherwise, you may need to go through the manufacturer directly to purchase a phone without any ties to our services.

  • Can i use my unlocked iphone overseas, with a one of their carriers?

    Can i use my unlocked iphone overseas, with a one of their carriers?
    If i go study abroad for 3 years, i obviously have to have a phone. Can i use my iphone 5s I bought in america unlocked, and just put their sim-card in
    Anyone know you can buy the iphone 6 unlocked?

    Apple is not yet selling the unlocked version of 6 or 6 Plus (I verified this today at the Apple store, in person).  Many say that some versions now sold are unlocked, but you pay your money and take your chances.  I prefer to wait.
    Oh, and if you are abroad for 3 years, you will have no warranty and no Apple service unless the phone is returned to the US.  Sounds like a good reason (to me) to buy it overseas.  YMMV
    This does, of course, depend on what country one is inhabiting.

  • Can I use an unlocked Sprint iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA) on EE's 4G LTE network?

    I want to use my unlocked Sprint iPhone 5 (model# A1429 CDMA) when I travel in the UK. The only 4G LTE carrier is EE.
    They recommend you use an unlocked iPhone 5 (model# A1429 GSM), but I don't wish to purchase a new phone for such a short duration.
    So can I use a unlocked  iPhone 5 (model# A1429 CDMA) on EE's network or not?

    If you purchase the device unlocked, it can be used on any supported GSM carrier around the world.
    There are no guarantees with LTE.  It may work on their LTE network, it may not.

    If this is an iCloud email account, you should only need to go to Settings>iCloud, sign into your account and turn Mail on.  This will automatically add the account and would not prompt you for a password (since you already signed in with your iCloud password).
    But if you want to reset your password, you can contact Apple for assistance either by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password, or by contacting the Apple account security team: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
