Buy iphone 5 USA made n use in Malaysia

hye...i'm interested to buy an iphone 5 thru online shipping..according to US price...but i need to use it at my country Malaysia....is it possible to me to use the iphone from US made and use it in Malaysia?

If you want a US iPhone, you'll have to fly to the US to purchase it, as Apple does not ship out of the country & will only ship to a verified billing address located in the country whose online store you are trying to use.
Will it work? If officially unlocked...only sold by Apple in the US...yes. Be prepared to fly back to the US for all warranty/support issues, as your won't get any support for a US iPhone in Malaysia.

Can I buy iphone 4 in Hongkong and use it in USA

Can I buy iphone 4 in Hongkong and use it in USA...???
will it have some troubles when...like upgrade?

All iphones sold from official sources in Hong Kong are unlocked & will work on any GSM carriers network with the appropriate activated sim, including the USA. Note however, warranty & support are country specific & the phone would have to be returned to Hong Kong for any and all warranty & support issues. Make sure you purchase from an official source, non-official sources hack the phone to unlock it(their prices are often cheaper) and this will lead to nothing but problems.

Can i buy an iPhone from USA online and use it in Europe?

Can i buy an iPhone from USA online and use it in Europe?

If you use a credit card from a financial institution in the US,
with a verified billing address in the US, and ship the order to
the US. Warranty will be valid only in the US and LTE will not
work in EU. The low prices you see for some iPhones are
because the iPhone requires a 2 year contract with a wireless
carrier in the US. Prices for unlocked (useable with any carrier)
iPhone 5 are $649 for 16 GB, $747 for 32 GB, and $849 for 64 GB
+ applicable taxes which will vary with shipping destination within
the US. Still interested?

If I buy an iphone in USA can I use it in the UK with my UK provider Virgin Mobile

It is advisable to purchase the phone in the country you intend to use it.
1) You will have Warranty...
2) your phone will work as expected.
3) Unless Purchased Directly from Apple as an UNLOCKED device, the iPhones will be Locked to a US Carrier.. usually for a 2 year contract period.

How can i buy iphone from USA if i am from romania?

How can i buy iPhone from USA if i am from Romania?
Can you tell me it is possible? and what taxes i have to pay and the iPhone price.

The $199 price is for an iPhone with a service plan with AT&T, Verizon or Sprint - that is the subsidized price with a valid cellular service plan.
Those phones will be LOCKED to the carrier who's service plan you subscribe to - they WILL NOT work outside of the USA nor on any carrier other than the one chosen at the time of ordering.
You would want one of the unlocked GSM phones (16Gb=$649 USD, 32Gb=$749 and 64Gb=$849)
You cannot order from the web store unless you have a USA credit card with a USA billing AND shipping address (the web stores ONLY ship to their own country, not to other countries). So as already mentioned, you would have to come to the USA and buy an UNLOCKED iPhone at an Apple store.

Buy Iphone in USA and use it in Europe

Hello,
I would like to know if I buy an Iphone in USA, If we can use it in Europe, with another carrier and network?
I will soon go to the states and I would like to make a gift to my sister.
Thanks in advance for your answers :-)

So the US Apple store appears to operate differently from the UK store (where I've just bought 2 new iPhones unlocked and taken SIM only contracts with 2 different service providers). I'm sorry if I've caused any confusion.
To be clear, you need to find somewhere you can get an unlocked phone to be able to bring it back to Europe and use it.

If I buy an iphone in USA can I use it in UK?

I Am going on holiday to USA and hope to buy myself an Iphone, if I do will I be able to use it in UK with UK sim card when I come home? Are the iphone'sold in USA and UK exactly the same?

If you buy a SIM Free phone (model A1586)...

...versus the T-Mobile unlocked phone (model A1549) you can use it on the O2, 3, EE and Vodafone LTE networks according to this page.

You have to buy online or from a physical Apple Store...

The same warranty restrictions apply.

Can i avail buying iphone 4s for $99 for use in the philippines?

can i avail buying iphone 4s for $99 which i intend to use in the philippines?

If your sister breaches the contract, she will be subject to termination fees that would make it more expensive than purchasing an unlocked phone at full retail price that you could actually use.

Can i buy iphone 4s frome uk and use it in egypt

can i buy iphone 4s frome uk (reading) and use it in egypt?

If you buy it unlocked and Egypt uses the same bands/frequencies.
Warranty is not international and iPhone would have to be returned
to EU if service or replacement was needed. Buy your iPhone in
Egypt to avoid these problems.

Buy iPhone 6 in Thailand but use it in Australia

Now, I live in Thailand ,and I would like to buy iPhone 6. However, I am going to immigrate to Australia on January 2015, so I worry about the warranty covering.

A laptop, iPod and an iphone are similar in that they are all portable.
They are not. There are 4-5 different iPhone models. For example there are 4 iPhone 5s models, while there is ONE 13 inch MacBook air which is sold worldwide.
It was reasonable for me to assume that iPhones came with an international warranty, and it certainly unreasonable for Apple to exclude iPhones from the same coverages as their laptops and ipods.
Ok, so? Whatever you feel or think is right or reasonable it is not going to alter reality.
AS I bought the phone in Australia i am covered by Australian consumer laws and as I mentioned above, a phone is portable.
As I said, the reality is you will not be able to get warranty service in Vietnam. Sue the Vietnamese if you feel you have a case.
The article was merely posted to demonstrate the philosophy behind Australian consumer laws, in that Apple's policies do not overide the consumer laws in Australia. ie people expect a phone to last 2 years at least, people take phones overseas.
And it is still irrelevant. The EU has had the same extension for years and it still does not make the warranty international.
What is it to you anyway? Are you an Apple beancounter?
No, just someone who is being pragmatic and realistic, something that you seem unable to do. The OP asked a question and it was answered correctly, and then followed up.
And what is this to YOU? Are you an ambulance chaser?
Have a nice day.

Buying iphone from Apple store for use with various carriers

If I buy an iphone 4 from Apple store (not subsidized), can I use it with Virgin Mobile's no contract plan? Or do I need to buy it from Virgin Mobile?
And If, after a month or two, I decide not to use Virgin Mobile, can I switch to another carrier using the same phone? or do I need to unlock it or whatever?
I guess what I am really getting down to is this: I want to choose Virgin as carrier because there is no 2-year contract locked in, i.e. flexibility to switch, and I am willing to pay full price for the phone. But if, for some reason I don't like Virgin's service, or they to raise their monthly fee so that it is no longer competitive to ATT, VZ, etc., I want to be able to switch to another carrier with the same phone, and not have to sell it on the 2nd hand market.
I know I can just purchase the iphone 4 that Virgin offers for 350. But if it only works with Virgin and no other carrier, then what is the point of not having tied into a contract? The phone is useless unless I use it with that carrier.
I have not asked Virgin this question yet, because what I really want to know is, if an iphone purchased in an Apple store can be used "universally" across all carriers. I kind of understand there is a different standard that ATT use as opposed to all other carriers, but I am hoping to find the definitive answer about iphone compatibility for all carriers that offer the iphone.

3) I assume VZ and S use CDMA. So, an unlocked VZ CDMA iphone user can switch to S and vice versa, and that's it?
You assume correctly that Verizon and Sprint are CDMA. However, no CDMA carrier will activate a device sold for a network other than their own. In the "CDMA world" there is no such thing as an unlocked device.
Spiral Aim wrote:
4) ATT unlocked iphone users cannot use same phone with VZ, S, Virgin, or whoever else offering iphones at this time?
An unlocked GSM iPhone can be used on TMobile and any other GSM carrier in the US, there are quite a few regional GSM carriers and resellers (like StraightTalk). Not all features are supported/work and it's up to those carriers to get them working.

Now this is where it gets confusing, kindof.
The iPhone 4 is GSM or CDMA only.
The 4S and 5 are World phones meaning they have GSM and CDMA antenna's. A CDMA 4S or 5 can be unlocked by the carrier (Sprint, Verizon, Virgin, etc) and activated on a GSM network. Generally the carrier will only unlock for International carriers for the purpose of using GSM when the user is traveling and there is no partner CDMA carrier network for the user to roam on.

Buying iPhone 5 USA

Hi
i am going to USA in the new year if i bought a iPhone 5 will it work in the UK.
Cheers

Everything Everywhere (owners of Orange & T-Mobile) are currently trialling a 4G LTE network in Cornwall, but they haven't stated how long it will take to roll out to the rest of the UK.
They do have, according to their website, over 98% 3G coverage in the UK. So if you want to use an unlocked iPhone 5 from the US in the UK you will be fine, but like Peter Gillespie has said, Apple US aren't selling unlocked iPhone 5 yet.
Apple UK are (online only) and the starting price is £529 for the 16GB model.
As for coming through Customs in the UK you won't pay any tax if the phone is just in your pocket and being used. If you had it in your hold luggage still in its wrapping you would expect to pay VAT (no import duties on mobile phones here in the UK)
