  • How can I buy a factory unlocked iPad mini without restriction of buying it with a cellular line?

    I need to buy an iPad mini via the apple website which is factory unlocked, but the option I am getting is to buy it with a cellular line of which I will be tied to use only that line.
    How can I proceed with this purchase?

    Easily, you cannot.  You can buy an unlocked iPad within a country in which an iPad is unlocked - Thailand, for example.

  • Buying a factory unlocked iphone

    hi!
    can i buy a factory unlocked iphone in cash?
    cause i've heard you must pay it by credit card...(i'm not from UEA)
    thanks

    Depends on where you are... I see no reason why you could not.
    I do not believe Apple has announced availability of unlocked iPhone 5s in any market as of yet.

  • If I buy a factory unlocked phone can I use any SIM card worldwide?

    If I buy a factory unlocked iPhone can it be used worldwide with any sim?

    Yes. Certain models of the iPhone work best in certain countries, but as long as you purchase a factory unlocked phone, you can use it with any carrier that has SIM cards.
    This article has a list of supported carriers for the iPhone. If you use the iPhone with an unsupported carrier, you will probably find that it does not work well and/or that some features don't work as expected.
    Also, factory unlocked phones are sold only through Apple stores. They are not available anywhere else.
    Additionally, the warranty for the phone is valid only in the country of purchase. It is not international.

    Apple has not released an unlocked iphone in the U.S

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Can i use/ activate factory unlocked iPhone 5S in india without SIM

    Hello,
    I am planning to buy iPhone 5S. I am a blackberry 9900 users
    Can i use/ activate factory unlocked iPhone 5S in india without SIM (Purchasing in India).
    I need time some time to transfer data from BlackBerry to iPhone 5S.
    Thanks.

    Yes. it's Factory unlocked iPhone 5S gold.
    Problem is...
    i have one sim (big for for BB9900). And iPhone 5S uses smaller...
    Vodafone India will give me free nano sim, i will take 4-5 hours to work that SIM....
    My biggest concern is Address Book (Phone book), Password Keeper (password manager), Task Jot (GTD app)
    I need to manually enter all this data in iPhone 5S, there is no standard converter or transfer tool...
    existing ones freak out and miss lot of data....
    i will first enter all data and get a nano sim. this will take more than 2 weeks...
    so i thought if iPhone 5S can be switched on then i can enter data in free time.

  • 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.
