Am I Able To Buy An Iphone In America

Hey..I Live In England...And Am Going To America Soon, Would I Be Able To Buy An Iphone 3gS There? And Would It Work Here? x Thanks x

Same way if I were to buy an iphone in England & activate it on the O2 network. The only carrier that could unlock it would be O2. Even if you bought an iphone in the US & hacked it to unlock it, you couldn't activate it to hack it unless you signed a TWO YEAR CONTRACT with AT&T. AT&T does not permit pay as you go iphones on their network when setting up new service. It would be far cheaper to buy the phone in England on the O2 network & then pay to have them unlock it.

Will you be able to buy unlocked iPhone 5s from retail stores in Canada on the 21st?

Hi,
This might be the wrong section, but it seems to be the closest fit for my question?
Anyways, I am planning on buying the iPhone 5 on the 21st in Canada. My plan is to go around 3:30 in the morning(last year I went at 5:30 and was something like 200th in line! and then buy two unlocked iPhones, one for me and one for a friend. I went to the Yorkdale Apple Store in Toronto, Ontario today and they said that they are not really sure, but are probably only selling on-contract phones in store on the launch day. I then however called the Eaton Center Apple Store also in Toronto and was told that they are 100% selling unlocked iPhone 5s from the begining in Canada. I then did the online chat and was told the same thing. So I called Yorkdale back and they still say that they aren't sure but from what they have been told so far it looks like they will only be selling locked phones, and that they will not fully know until the day of, which really is a bit rediculous.
I was hoping that someone knew whether iPhone 5s would be sold unlocked in Canada at Apple Retail Stores.
Thanks,
B

No idea
Apple has not yet made clear the status of the iPhone 6 models they will be selling enough to risk buying and in any case the warranty is NOT nternational
you will have no warranty on a US purchased iPhone
Contract free and unlocked are not the same in US
depends on how much you want to risk your money
You would need the A1586 very unlikely to be available in US in an unlocked status

If I buy an iPhone in America, can i use him in Belgium?

I want to buy a iPhone 5 in america but furst i want to know if i can use him here

It will work if you buy a factory unlocked phone from Apple. LTE won't work in Belgium with a USA phone. The warranty will not be valid outside the USA.

Can you buy a iPhone in America and then swap it to a Australia network?

Hi,
My mum wants to get my sister a iPhone 4 for her 15th birthday, but she thinks buying it in Australia is a little silly, because shes going to America next month and wants to get it there because its cheaper (even though the Aussie dollars higher?) and then bring it here (unused), andd would it then be possible to set it up on a Australian network?
Any help with this question would be greatly appreciated.

I converted the US prices and the Australian prices to British pounds: a 16GB iPhone costs around 403GBP in the US, and around 569GBP in Australia.
I can understand where the OP is coming from.... but repeat that taxes could wipe out that difference.
There is also the warranty problem. Will Apple Australia give help and repair a US Phone?
I've talked myself out of it. Buy Australian!

HT4623 Can I buy an iphone in america and use it in europe?

...

Have you googled this? You have options... Use American carrier and roam, buy an unlocked iPhone or use the Verizon iPhone 5 as it seems to have an unlocked gsm portion. Gsm is more prevalent in Europe so make sure you have a gsm phone.

Can i buy an Iphone 5 from the USA if I live in Ireland?

Hi I was just wondering am i able to buy an iphone 5 or iphone 4s unlocked from apple online or in store in America and will it still work if it is brought to Ireland?
thanks

You can not buy an iPhone from Apple online in the US unless you have a U.S. issued credit card and a US shipping/billing address.
If you want to physically come to the US, you can buy one at any Apple Store.
The warranty will not be valid outside of the US. It will not work with LTE networks outside of the US. If you need out of warranty service, you will not be able to get it outside of the US. You will not be able to ship the phone to Apple in the US for service. You will have to physically carry it back to the US, or you will have to send it to someone you know in the US to take it in for service.

Am I able to purchase an iPhone 5s?

My girlfriends mom told me she would allow me to join their family plan as long as I pay her my part ($10(adding a line) $30)data))
I am planing to wait in line for the launch of the iPhone 5s. The account holder will not be there (her mom) but my girlfriend which is an authorized account holder will be. Is there any situation that I will be able to buy an iPhone 5s on launch day at &200 pricing?

As long as the authorized account user is present, with valid forms of ID and as long as the carrier allows an addtional line and as long as your method of payment is acceptable and as long as there are enough iPhones in the store and as long as there's not something I'm forgetting to mention; no, there is no situation that should prevent you from scoring an iPhone on launch day.

The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! Why is my interests being put last and Sprint, Verizon

The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! I travel all over the world, and so that is why I need one like that. It is unfair to the consumer, and frankly turning away customers like myself willing to pay high dollar to Apple for their product, who can I speak with to complain about this, because I know their are factory unlocked iPhone 4S' sitting in a warehouse somewhere just waiting to be shipped, and I want one. I know why, cause Apple signed contracts with each carrier so the carrier could increase their sales making customers sign 2 year contracts, I get it, I own my own business, but the delay of releasing factory unlocked ones is just not right and I should be able to buy one without having to buy it over in the UK where it is unlocked when it comes out right away, I should be able to buy it in my own country! These business practices we practice in the US need to stop, their is a demand that needs to be met with consumers like myself who don't need subsidized iPhone's with 2 year contracts with carriers and don't mine paying full price for an unlocked one, it is unethical in a sense, forcing the customer to buy it with a carrier contract and NOT giving the customer the option to buy it full price and own it themselves, OR, making the consumer wait a month for that option to be available. THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!! THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!!!
Apple can contact me and I will proudly pay for one. But making me wait a month for an unlocked one, puts AT&T, Sprint & Verizon's interests before mine, and that is not right, for it is MY money that keeps you guys in business, so my best interests should come first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand your frustration, but when any form of rationing is required you have to prioritise. The number of unlocked vs packaged phones will be quite small and the number of unlocked buyers wishing to upgrade immediately will be smaller still. Against this you have the corporations sharing $billions between them.
It would, you're correct, have been fairer to release all at the same time, but fairer doesn't come into it: it's business.

If i buy an iphone with a bad esn, will i still be able to use the apple appstore?

1. If I buy an iphone with a bad esn, will i still be able to use the apple app store?
2. Searching craigslist, it looks like iphones with a bad esn are cheaper than buying an ipod. If it's the same functionality, then is there a downside to getting an iphone with a bad esn instead of an ipod touch?
Thanks

Actually, you can in fact restore it or re-activate it using iTunes. A bad ESN just means it can't ne activated for phone service, but it can still be used as a touch. Phones with bad ESN's are not necessarily stolen, if the owner/account holder fails to pay their bill, the carrier will list with a bad ESN.

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?

Hi I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 5in the Middle East. I want to know if I will be able to use my iPhone and all its applications when we go back to live in the US for long term.

You can probably be absolutely sure any other source will be carrier locked
It also appears that only Zain offer unlocking (of all the ME carriers ) in Jordan and Bahrain
A ME iPhone 5 ( A1429 GSM )will not work on US LTE when you return
