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.

  • I bought a unlocked canadian iphone 4s, i am going to me living in the usa can i use my unlocked iphone 4s with sprint?

    i am wondering if i can use my unlocked canadian iphone 4s in the states with sprint? can the cdma be unlocked so that any company that uses cdma can support it? or is the gsm the only one that can be unlocked and used with differnt carriers that support gsm?

    The ONLY way this could happen would be if the OP returned the phone within the first 30 days of purchase in the original country of purchase, then bought a new one in the US on the Sprint network.

  • Can I use my unlocked iphone 5 with a european carrier?

    I have an iPhone 5 unlocked and out of contract, im moving to Portugal so i want to know if i can use it there.

    Please read my post again I didn't say it would show you the carriers
    I said it would show the carrier types of data.
    Like CDMA or GSM
    check your model number to the ones in the link
    then call the carriers in the area and see if they support that data type, CDMA or GSM
    I Don't know the carriers in that part of the world
    That you will have to find yourself

  • Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked

    Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked. Sprint will only unlock it if it's international. they will not unlock it if I want to use the iphone4s with another USA carrier.  Why? I have paid for the phone and don't have a contract.  I wanted to switch the SIM card and use tmobile or another provider because I am very dissatisfied with sprint service. Lots of drop calls and texting takes 15 to reach the other person.  It is horrible,,,, I hate sprint!,

    Sorry, what others here have said is wrong, wrong, wrong. There is nothing about the hardware of the iPhone 4S that would prevent a Sprint 4S from being used on T-Mobile, or any GSM carrier, international or domestic. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Each and every 4S is 100% hardware capable of doing both GSM and CDMA out of the box. The only impediment is that Sprint would have to authorize an unlock for you. This is something they simply refuse to do. If anyone at Sprint has told you that they can't unlock a 4S for domestic use with another carrier, they have lied to your face. This, by the way, is something they're doing with everyone who asks the question - just Google search "Sprint unlock iPhone 4S", and you'll see dozens of internet threads where people talk about being lied to by Sprint about this issue. The good news is that Sprint signed an agreement with the FCC regarding letting off-contract customers unlock their phones. The agreement takes effect in mid-March, and Sprint is dragging its feet until then. Once that deadline passes, if Sprint still hasn't agreed to unlock your phone, then they're in violation of the agreement, and you can and should report them to the FCC. I sure plan to. Then I'm going to switch carriers, to one that doesn't lie to me and keep fraudulent liens on my property.

  • Can I use my new iphone 5 with the old iHome iD9SVC Speaker System if I get an apadter? or should i just buy new speaker system made specifically for the iphone5

    can I use my new iphone 5 with my old iHome iD9SVC speaker system if I get an adapter? or should i just buy a new speaker system made specifically for the iphone 5?

    Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

  • Can i use my iPad, iPhone, Mac with 2 independant iCloud accounts (private, business) simultanuously ? How ?

    can i use my iPad, iPhone, Mac with 2  iCloud accounts (private, business) simultanuously ? How ?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes you can do that, however you can only have one primary account. You will need to set one account up as a secondary account and choose which account you wish to do this with, since you can only use mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders with a secondary account.
    On your Mac, you would enter the account at system preferences> mail, contacts & calendars, on your mobile device you would enter your account at settings> mail, contacts, calendars.

  • Can I use an unlocked iphone 4s from USA in Spain? Does it gonna work with a different frequency?

    I want a iphone 4s unlocked. Can I buy it on the United States and use on Spain? I listened that the frequency is different on this countries, and that the phone may doesn't work. I want to know it.
    Thank you so much

    The iPhone 4S will certainly work in Spain, even if purchased in the US.  Keep in mind, however, that warranty service is limited to the country of purchase.  Youll have to send your phone to someone in the US to bring into Apple if your phone needs warranty service.
    In addition, there is VERY limited availbility of the unlocked iPhone 4S in US Apple stores, if they're even available at all.  At this point, they're really only available online directly from the Apple Store

  • Can I use officially unlocked iPhone in different countries?

    I'm moving to Rome with my job for eight months, then on to Chicago for four months, then back to London. I'm trying to find out if I buy an unlocked Pay as You Go iPhone in one of the various EU countries selling manufacturer unlocked units (France, Germany, Italy, etc) , will it work in each country if I switch to that country's telecom's Sim cards.
    The blogs and iPhone dedicated websites are full of opinions but no one seems to have definitive experience doing this. Some users say it should work, others say the EU iPhones are unlocked for the specific country of purchase but will not work with another country's telecom's Sim cards. The Apple Stores will not confirm any usage outside their own country. Similar response from the relevant telecoms. The Apple Support pages do not make any reference to cross country usage beyond roaming.
    A privately unlocked iPhone is an option but I prefer an official unlock so there are no hassles. Not looking for opinions here - can find more than enough on the internet. I'm looking for actual first hand experience using these officially unlocked iPhones between countries.

    Thanks for the correction on the relevant carriers. Looking at the European options: Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, and Czech Republic should work based on details from Apple's carrier list.
    Before I buy I would like to confirm someone has actually purchased an unlocked iPhone in either Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg or Czech Republic and used it with Sim cards from another country.

  • Can I use an unlocked iPhone in the US

    Last year, I bought an unlocked iPhone, so I could use it in Brazil. This year I am moving to the States and would like to keep my phone - what should I do?
    Thanks!

    Nothing.  When you move to the US, you can sign up for service with any GSM carrier.  One you sign up for an account you will be provided with the appropriate SIM for your phone.

  • Can I use my ATT iPhone 4S with a French carrier?

    I am moving to France for a year and would really like to be able to use my iPhone 4S while I am there. Currently, my understanding is that I can simply take my iPhone to Orange when I get to France and have an Orange simcard put in my iPhone and then I can activate it using their network. Is this true? If it is not true, what do I need to do to use my iPhone with a French cell phone carrier?
    Thanks!!!!

    Use this link http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414532&cv=820#fbid=6d7EKuCF_dr to see if you qualify for an unlock from AT&T.

  • Can I use a Verizon iPhone 5S with a Japanese au SIM?

    I was wondering if anyone knows if I can use a Verizon iPhone 5S on Japan's au with an au SIM card???
    (Verizon iPhone 5S comes factory unlocked and freely accepts GSM nano SIMs from other US carriers. This question is specifically for people with firsthand knowledge of American phones working on Japanese networks with Japanese SIM cards.)
    I'll be living in Japan for just 7 more months, so it doesn't make sense to buy an impossible-to-unlock Japanese iPhone now. I'll be back on Verizon when I move back to the States, so if I can use an American Verizon phone on au, I would love to buy one right now while I'm home in Hawaii for the holidays.

    You can't. Doing so is not supported.
