I may buy a US model iPhone

I have the opportunity to purchase a US model iPhone about a week before it's released in the UK (considering purely because it will be cheaper). I'd planned on getting a UK one anyway and running it unlocked until January when my existing contract runs out. I then intended signing up to the £35 per month package with O2. However, if I buy a US model will I be able to register this with O2 in January or will it only be able to work with AT&T ?? Anyone know?
Cheers.

Doubtful you will be able to register an iPhone sold in the U.S. with O2 when the time comes no different than someone trying to register an iPhone sold as carrier locked with O2 with AT&T in the U.S.

  • How Can I choose Iphone 5s models that work with LTE in Brazil. The Iphone needs to Support Band 7. If I buy the wrong model can apple change it ?

    I am planning to buy an Iphone 5s in October, but I have to make sure that the model will work with the LTE services we have in Brazil. I know that Apple made 2 Models that support Band 7. See Below.
    Model A1457*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20)
    Model A1530*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20); TD-LTE (Bands 38, 39, 40)
    How can I make sure I will buy the correct model through the internet ? Can Apple change the Iphone In case they send the model that does not support LTE services in Brazil ?
    Thanks,

    Have you personally tried those models with Brazilian LTE networks? Do they work? If so, fine.  If not, then besides that, there is the problem of the warranty which is not international. The user will have to return the phone back to the country of purchase for both warranty and out of warranty service. So what might seem cheaper at first glance might not be in the end.
    Anyways, it your money and the OP's should he want to go ahead with your recommendation.

    how can i solve this?? please let me know.
    thank you.

    Sounds like the iPhone is locked to the original Carrier
    and you are trying to use  a sim from another carrier
    and only that original  carrier can unlock the iPhone

    No. See
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • Does apple sell the US Model iPhone 5S in the UK apple stores?

    So I'm going to the UK for a few months and I was wondering if apple sold the US model iPhone in their UK stores?
    Thanks.

    Well no, of course they don't.  If you are going to the UK for a few months, then buy an iPhone in the UK for use over there or if you have an unlocked iPhone from the US, then you can use it in the UK with local sim cards for the length of time that you are over there - you will definitely be able to get a signal on UK 3G, but with a US iPhone, you will not be able to benefit from 4G in the UK because the frequencies are different.
    If you have a US iPhone that is locked to a carrier, then you can use international roaming charges.
    Buy a new phone for use in the UK, but no, the UK Apple store stocks iPhone models that work in the UK and not the US.

  • IF we buy a contract free iphone 6 from US can we use it in india with airtel or reliance providers?

    IF we buy a contract free iphone 6 from US can we use it in india with airtel or reliance providers?

    The Model 1586 / 1524 happens to be the one most compatible with China
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
    If the phone is primarily for use in China - I would look to getting an unlocked version of that
    There are contradicting theories about Sprint for international use - so I would stay away from the Sprint model in the US

    Hi! I'm from Russia and i want to buy the new unlocked iPhone 4S in the U.S. in November, but i need to know, am i need this doc's?
    What to Bring with You
    Your old mobile phone, if you’re replacing it.
    Social Security number of the account holder.
    Valid government-issued photo ID.
    Carrier account password, if you have one.
    Your Apple ID and password.

    According to Apple's list (link above) you will probably want to pick up a Sprint or US Cellular model. HOWEVER, as I mentioned above I know that the Verizon iPhones come unlocked from the factory (assuming it will be the same for iPhone 6 and 6+). I DO NOT KNOW if the Sprint and US Cellular models come unlocked. But I am sure some quick internet research will lead you to the answer.
    I think your goal would be to get a Sprint or US Cellular version. Also I believe a law was just recently passed that allows someone to have a phone unlocked by the carrier no questions asked. So even if the Sprint and US Cellular iPhones are locked you can have them unlocked.

    I bought an iPhone 4s last November from your New York store (IMEI number  ). 
    It has now malfunctioned (the wi-fi button is grated out and so the wi fi
    cannot be switched on).  I have been told by the Polish Apple store that they
    would be unable to repair it or replace it as it was bought in the USA.  it is
    still within the warranty period.  could you advise me as to the newt steps
    please?  Can I send it to you by courier and if so please provide me with the
    relevant details.
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Kind regards,

    could you advise me as to the newt steps please?
    Ah, the dangers of trying to save a few bucks. Warranty is only good in the USA for phones purchased in the USA.
    Three options.
    1. Fly to the US, go to an Apple store, and have the phone swapped.
    2. Send the phone to a friend in the US and have them go to the Apple store and have the phone replaced.
    3. Buy a new phone in your home country where the warranty is valid.

  • Buying a factory unlocked iPhone 5s in the Apple store?

    I live in Ireland but I'll be visiting Boston in February. I was wondering if I can buy a factory unlocked iPhone 5s in store without having to order online. Also, I've seen a lot of opposing agruments about whether or not "unlocked" T-Mobile iPhones are actually unlocked. If they've worked for anybody please let me know, thanks.

    However; Apple cannot promise that the LTE bands will work in Ireland for your device.
    We cannot make promises; or say it will...We can only state that the bands /MAY/ work. And again your warrenty cannot be carried out OOW or in warrenty in your country

  • I need an apple device to check that websites I design work ok on apple devices - am I ok with an ipod touch or do I need to buy an ipad or iphone ?

    I need an apple device to check that websites I design work ok on apple devices - am I ok with an ipod touch or do I need to buy an ipad or iphone ?

    - Using an iPod touch would be the same as using an iPhone.
    - It all depends upon how you site handles different screen sizes.
    - If you view only on an iPad it may look poor on an iPhone, that is hard to read.
    - I would use/view other users iPads and iPhones/iPod touches to help decide what meets your needs.

  • I can't buy anything on my iPhone because it says I need to verify my security questions

    I can't buy anything on my iPhone because it says I need to verify my security questions. it wants me to answer the security questions, but I forgot mine. how do I fix this problem?

    Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
    It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

  • Can i buy a 32 GB iPhone 5S...

    I want to buy a Space Gray iPhone 5S with the Model A1457 or A1530 from Apple in the United States during my short visit?

    You would have to talk to the specific store where you want to make the purchase, and see if they can even get the exact model you need.  And then, as Meg points out, you will not have a valid warranty, and cannot buy AppleCare+ for an iPhone taken out of the US.  The warranties on iPhones are only valid in the country of sale.  And Apple will not accept shipment of the iPhone back to the US for service or support.

  • Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store ?

    Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store in nyc or is it exclusively avaliable online ?

    You can buy it at an Apple store. But you do not want "SIM Free", which means that you can use it with any carrier, but the phone becomes locked permanently to the first carrier you use it with. You want to be clear that you want an "UNLOCKED" phone. Apple does not sell SIM Free phones, but some independent dealers (such as Carphone Warehouse in the UK) do.
    Also, note that if you plan to use it outside of the US you will not have warranty or repair service available for it; Apple will only fix phones (in or out of warranty) in the country of purchase. And it may not work on LTE (4G) networks outside of North America.
