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)

  • If i will buy iphone 6 without preference to operator in USA, will it work in Russia?

    if i will buy iphone 6 without preference to operator in USA, will it work in Russia?

    There currently are no unlocked versions of the iPhone 6 being sold in the US.
    Unlocked versions are available in other nations.
    Remember that the warranty on an iPhone purchased in the US is valid only in
    the US and 4G/LTE probably will not work in your location.
    Wait until the iPhone 6 becomes available where you are to avoid these and other
    problems.

  • Hi! i buy iphone 5c on cricket but after 2 months in usa philadelphia but after 2 months i will go to uae, can someboydy please tell me if i can use my iphone5c there?

    ask the carrier what they unlocking rules are
    if they don't sim unlock it
    it will not work with sim cards from other carriers
    so if it would work in uae it would be roaming and still be using cricket as carrier and you could be charged an arm and a leg for both data and talking

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • I want to buy Iphone 4S or Iphone 5 from USA and ship it to South Africa, will i have carrier problems?

    I want to buy Iphone 4S or Iphone 5 from USA and ship it to South Africa, will i have carrier problems?

    If you buy a phone from Apple online from USA you must have a credit card with a US address and have it shipped to that same address. If you chose a carrier it will be locked to that carrier. You must buy an UNLOCKED phone to use outside of the US, for the unsubsidized price. For unlocked phones you don't need to choose a carrier. the iPhone 5 is not yet available unlocked; only the 4S is sold as unlocked by Apple.
    If you buy from the US Apple site you must return it to the US for warranty service.
    LTE is the "next generation" cellular network standard. It is supported in the US by Verizon and AT&T. 

  • Buy Iphone 5 in USA

    Hi! I can buy Iphone 5  in USA, but I have one question. If I buy without contarct, Can I using this iphone in Ukraine with my local operator?

    The unlocked/no contract phone is not yet available from Apple in the US. We do not know when it will.
    You will have to ask the US carriers if they will sell you an unlocked/no contract phone. My guess is that they will not.

  • How i can buy iphone 3gs from USA or Germany

    Hi
    I'm from Egypt and i want to buy iphone 3gs from USA or Germany not from Egypt, Is there anyway to buy from USA or Germany with the same price of USA or Germany not Egypt ?
    And is there away you can send it to me to Egypt ?
    Thanks in advance...:)

    This is a user to user help forum only.
    The lower/advertised price for the iPhone in the U.S. is AT&T's subsidized or discounted price for the iPhone, which requires signing a two year contract with AT&T for the subsidy or discount that AT&T pays Apple on a subscriber's behalf.
    The iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T only. None of the iPhone functions work until the iPhone is activated with AT&T with the exception of being able to make an emergency 911 call in the U.S. Apple nor AT&T in the U.S. will ship an iPhone to anyone outside of the U.S. AT&T also sells the iPhone in the U.S. at a no-contract/no-commitment or at the full retail sales price which is much more expensive, but the iPhone remains carrier locked with AT&T. A verifiable billing address in the U.S. is required along with a credit check by AT&T which is no different that what is required with a two year contract. The no-contract or no-commitment for the iPhone in the U.S. is billed the same as a subscriber with a two year contact but since there is no contract it is on a month to month basis which can be cancelled at any time without a penalty.
    The iPhone is sold in Germany as carrier locked with T-Mobile I believe. Not sure of the iPhone is also sold as officially unlocked in Germany. If so, Apple's support and warranty for the iPhone is honored in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple only. If you are able to purchase the iPhone in Germany as officially unlocked for use with a carrier in Egypt, if a problem develops with the iPhone that requires an exchange under warranty, you would have to return to Germany for an exchange under warranty.
    The sales price for the iPhone in each country is determined by the official carrier for the iPhone in each country.

  • 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.

  • How can buy iPhone 5 from outside USA ?. And how much it cost ?

    How can buy iPhone 5 from outside USA ?  iPhone 5 - 16 GB  how much it cost ?

    Unless you live in the US & plan on using the iPhone 5 in the US, you DO NOT want a US iPhone 5. Apple will sell three different variants of the iPhone 5. The model sold in the US will only work, for LTE, in the US & Canada...no where else. You've been warned.

  • I want to know that if, I buy iphone 6 with t- mobile contract free from USA. It will work in India or not?

    I want to know that if, I buy iphone 6 with t- mobile contract free from USA. It will work in India or not?

    iPhones purchased from the online Apple Store in Australia will be unlocked. To the best of my knowledge, unlocked iPhone are not available from the physical Apple Stores at this time, though you can call the Apple Store in Melbourne and inquire.
    Note that the warranty on iPhones is not international, so if you purchase an iPhone in Australia and it needs service, you would have to ship the iPhone to someone in Australia to take or send to Apple for service and then ship it back to you.
    Regards.

  • If i buy iphone 5 from the usa can i take it back and use it with my UK O2 sim card and how much will a 16gb iphone 5 cost

    Hi,
    if i buy iphone 5 from the usa can i take it back and use it with my UK O2 sim card and also how much will a 16gb iphone 5 cost in the usa?
    thanks
    Andy

    hi there,
    you could buy it somewhere in Europe. I know Apple sells them unlocked here in Germany and if I am not mistaken also (among others) in France and Italy.
    Yet, as Peter wrote, the warranty can become a problem. Not sure whether a one country only rule goes for the European Community as well though.
    As for the price, the 16 GB model costs 679,- € (equals roughly 550 £). Currently there is an average delivery time of 4 to 5 weeks.
    LTE connections will not work with Orange or Vodafone. Only EE is about to offer a compatible LTE network. DC-HSPA and regular HSPA+ will work fine.
    regards, Chris

  • Will i get warrenty in india if i buy iphone 4s from usa

    will i get warrenty in india if i buy iphone 4s from usa

    No, the warranty is not International.
    Warranty for iPhone has always been only available in the country where it was originally sold by Apple or their authorized re-seller.
    The only exception is in the EU.
