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.

  • I want to buy a iphone in usa and use it in india its possible

    I want to buy an iphone in usa and use it in india its possible. Because in india there is no authorized unlocked carrier.

    Hello and welcome to discussions. First of all, for the future, please use the subject-field for its intended purpose and put the question into the message body.
    Second, as far as I am aware no unlocked iPhones are sold in the US, which means you should bring one from Spain if they sell them there. But I guess someone from the US will be able to clarify this.

  • Can i buy iphone 5 in USA and use it in Europe - Belgium

    Can i buy iphone 5 in USA (NY) and use it in Europe - Belgium?

    That's up to you. Honestly, unless you're saving hundreds of dollars...you are not...I don't really understand why you'd want to do this. By the time you pay import fees, I doubt you'll be saving much money at all. Not to mention, no warranty/support in Europe for this phone. Any issues, you'll have to physically return the phone to the US...you can't mail it back. Regarding LTE, that's one of the biggest features on an iPhone 5, & you won't have any LTE support in Europe...none.
    Doesn't make much sense to me, but hey, its your money.
    Good luck.

  • Can I buy iPhone in China and use it on Russia?

     

    If it is unlocked and uses the same protocol (GSM or CDMA) and
    frequencies as the Russian carrier you intend to use.
    Warranty is not international - iPhone will have to be returned
    to China for service or replacement. Buy one locally from an
    authorized source to avoid future problems.

  • 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 a mini from USA and use it in Europe?

    Does anybody knows if I will have problem with the electricity power if I use a simple power converter from USA to Europe standards?
    Has anybody done this before?

    Check the rating plate on your mini to make sure but you will probably find it is rated for 100-240V so no converter will be needed, although you will require a plug adapter/new power lead.

  • Buying ipad from usa to use in australia

    buying ipad from usa and using in australia.can you do it and what do you need for it to work.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Yes you can do it, and if you search, upper right corner this has been discussed recently.
    The iPad is compatible in both countries...charger handles 100-240 volts at 50-60 Hertz...just need the proper plug piece or converter. That should be easy enough, the plug piece slides off horizontally and the proper one for the country slides on...same piece for all iDevice chargers.
    Service plans you need to check into.

  • Can i buy iphone 4s unlocked in your appstor in usa and use in gsm net in russia?

    can i buy iphone 4s unlocked in your appstore in usa and use in gsm net in russia?

    Yes, if you go to an Apple store in the US physically, then you can purchase an unlocked iPhone 4s and is should work in Russia, but you can't do it online - there is no international delivery available online and you need a US credit card and shipping address to be able to do that, but if you go there in person, you can certainly purchase and unlocked iPhone 4s. 

  • Can I buy used IPhone 4 registered in USA and use it in India? How can I re-register it to my name?

    I am asking this because that Iphone ll be registered in USA.

  • 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 and don't buy a contract, could i use it in Denmark then and buy a contract their and still have no problems with the iPhone.

    If i buy an iphone in USA and don't buy a contract, could i use it in Denmark then and buy a contract their and still have no problems with the iPhone.

    If you buy an Unlocked iPhone from the US, you can use that phone on any carrier that supports that particular phone (either GSM or CDMA). So yes, this is possible. But if anything happens to the phone that requires Apple's help, you will have to ship it back to US for that service.

  • Can I buy an unlocked iphone5s in USA and use it in Spain?

    can I buy an unlocked iphone5s in USA and use it in Spain?

    If you buy an UNLOCKED iPhone directly from an Apple Store or apple.com you can use it in India, however, it will not work on LTE, only on GSM and 3G. And the warranty will not be honored in India.
