Can I buy an iPhone in the US and use it in Belgium (Europe)?

Hey!
I really want to buy an iPhone 4S, but over here they cost about €620 which is the same as $810 without a contract with a provider.
That's really expensive, and I've seen that they are way cheaper in the US... One of my friends is going on a roadtrip and I was wondering if I could buy one that way, but the problem is, I don't know if the phone will work over here.
Can you buy them without a SIM-lock in the US?
Thanks for helping me!

So you really think they are that much cheaper? Look here:

And that's without tax. Think again, while you can purchase such a phone here, you can only purchase directly from Apple & you will have NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT for this phone where you live. Oh, and those prices do not include US state/local sales tax or any duties you might have to pay. Still sound like a good deal?
When using that link, first select the color, then click on "Unlocked & Contract Free", to see prices.

  • Can I buy an iphone in the USA and use it in the UK with an o2 sim card?

    I have just been re-issued an o2 pay monthly sim card as my phone was stolen. I'm going to NYC in September and was thinking of getting a iPhone in an apple store there. Will I be able to bring it home and use it in England with my o2 sim card? Or will I need to get it unlocked? Thank you

    Thank you so much. This makes a lot of my sense. As my phone was stolen too, it probably makes sense to buy it in the UK and keep the reciept as i'm claiming on insurance ... I thought I might save money by getting it in the US, but actually you're right, after all the hassle and then the problems afterwards, probably best just to stick to the home country! Thank you.

  • Can I buy an iPhone in the US and use in Zimbabwe?

    Will it work?  Any idea what carrier may be available?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Actually you can now make that the "useless" unlocked Apple iPhone at their store, AT&T iPhone and T-Mobile iPhone. And the "useless" Sprint iPhone is not unlocked on the GSM side.
    The fact that the GSM side is unlocked on the Verizon is the result of a deal with the FCC when they acquired more bandwidth. Nothing says this will continue into the future.
    They will have to purchase their iPhone from Verizon and as with any of them their warranty will not be valid outside the US. And some providers do not use the same LTE bands as are on the Verizon and European phones.

  • 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?

  • Can I buy a iphone 5s in USA and use it at India, with the service providers which Apple has a tie-up with ?

    Can I buy a Iphone 5s In the United States of America and use it at India, with the carrier supporters such as Airtel,Aircel or Reliance ?

    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.

  • Is it possible to buy an iPhone in the USA and use a brazilian chip?

    Hi guys,
    I want to know if I buy an iPhone in the USA I can just put the brazilian chip (a chip from a brazilian telecommunications company) and it will work. Could somebody help me, please?
    Thanks.
    P.s.: Hope you understand, my english is not the best one hahaha.

    No. All iPhones sold in the US are carrier-locked to AT&T and cannot be used with other carriers' SIM cards.

  • Can I buy an iPhone without a carrier and use it as an iPod with...

    Can I buy an iPhone without AT&T or any carrier and use it as an iPod with a camera and a microphone?

    Apple Australia are selling the iPhone 3G for A$719, the iPhone 3Gs 16 GB for A$879, the iPhone 3Gs 32 GB for A$1040. No contract. After allowing for tax differences, at the moment these are around $100 more expensive than USA prices (Apple tend to set and keep prices relative to the date the item was released, regardless of further changes in exchange rates). This is about A$500 more than an equivalent iPod Touch, so you are paying a premium.
    I am also contemplating buying a replacement iPhone without a phone contract, as most of the time I do not need to use the amount of call time required by a contract. I can already change my data package on a month to month basis. My use pattern is generally a couple of months with no real need for a phone, followed by slightly less than a month of intensive data use, usually in remote areas. Also my partner really, really wants to grab my existing iPhone to replace the iPod Touch she grabbed earlier. The extra iPhone facilities really do give it a decent edge over the iPod. In particular, the always present camera proved way more handy than I ever expected. So I am being encouraged to upgrade.
    Still unknown is whether I can change SIM cards on an ad hoc basis. All major Australian phone companies sell iPhones (except most have stock shortages). Some carriers are only workable in major cities (but have cheap pre paid cards). Others are really expensive, but work well in country areas. Being able to run multiple appropriate SIM cards on different carriers would be really helpful.

  • Can I buy an iPhone 6 from France and use it in China?

    Dear Apple readers,
    In one week, I will move to Shanghai for work. I have never owned a phone before for the simple and good reason that I never needed one. Until now... Many Chinese people recommended me to buy it from France as it would be cheaper. However, I was told that I need to buy a certain model that can work in China. Can someone tell me which model I have to buy? I I go to a store and be like "Hello, I would like to buy an iPhone 6 model A1586" does it make sense or?
    Do you have any suggestion/advice?
    Best regards,
    GodBlessMali

    Dear Lawrence Finch,
    Thank you for the quick reply. I suppose I will buy the phone in China then as there is no Apple store around.
    Thanks again.
    Best regards,
    GodBlessMali

  • Can I buy an Iphone 4 en US and use it in México? Do they sell them unlocked?

    I want to know if I can buy an Iphone 4 in the Us and then use it in México. I have read that they can be sell unlocked, but I just want to be sure. Also, I want to know that if I buy it in the US can I just get the phone without any contract on the mayor cel phone companies like AT&T or verizon?

    Only Apple stores & Apple's online store sell officially unlocked iPhones in the US...no where else. Yes, if you purchase such it will work just fine in Mexico. Your warranty/support will only be valid in the US though.

  • CAN i by a iphone in the USA and use it at France

    Hi
    I plan to buy an iphone 5c in the USA, but can i use it in France and have also the LTE.
    Thank you very much.

    If you want to use it in France and your tied to an American carrier you can still use it but it will cost a lot!! But I think what you mean is can you use it of you buy it out of an apple store the answer is yes of you buy an iPhone out of a apple store any where in the world it's unlocked so you can use it anywhere buy just putting in a different sim for a network in the county you want to use it in, the iPhone 5 up has the capability of LTE but it depends on your carrier if they roll it out if they do it will work. I hope this works:)

  • Can I buy an iphone 6 in USA and use it in England?

    HI,
    i am looking at buying an iphone 6 128gb but the delivery time in the UK is 4 weeks. I have friends travelling back from New York next week, if they bought me one there, would I be able to use it hassle free in the UK?

    LTE/4G will not work. With the current demand, do not expect that your friends
    will be able to walk into an Apple store and purchase one. On-line shipping times
    are now into October for US orders. They may get lucky, but doubt it. Keep your
    UK order as it will have an EU warranty and all features will work with your wireless
    provider.

  • Can I buy an iPhone from the Apple Store using a iTunes Card?

  • Can I buy an iphone 6 in USA and use it in Canada permanently with my carrier (Fido)?

    The USA Apple website says for no contract, and unlocked is from T-mobile. Will it work in Canada with Fido (uses sim card)? Has anyone tried doing this? The states is a lot cheaper in Canada for the Iphone 6. What will happen to the warranty/support?

    At today's currency exchange rate the US phone ends up costing more and the US warranty is not valid in Canada so I don't see the advantage of buying state side even if you do have US currency. As for TMobile - Fido compatibility I have no idea.
