Can I buy an unlocked iPhone 5, activate it in the US and then use it in Italy?
I am an italian guy studying in the states and I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 5 here in the US, but I’ll go back permanently in Italy in May.
1429 CDMA model should well with my ATT sim since it covers all GSM features, right?
Then back in Italy I just need to put in a nano sim from my italian carrier and that’s it…it should work.
Just one more question….is it better to activate the iPhone with US sim or Italian sim i have on my iPad 4?
Although I don’t have internet pack in neither of sims, thus I use WiFi to activate it, but i don’t know if it’s better to put italian sim for some reasons i don’t know…Anyway i’ll use another sim back in Italy (sim in iPad is not my “official” number, i just use it for data pack).
I hope everything is clear and easy to understand.
Thank you!

Matter of fact i do not need LTE in US, i just need normal 3G connection, and there shouldn't be any troubles with ATT for that, right?
Correct, but AT&T will require you sign a contact for new service, whether your phone is unlocked or not. They don't do pay-as-you-go for the iPhone.
Thus 1429 CDMA won't work with LTE in Italy?
Only if roaming with Verizon, otherwise, no.

Yep, officially for sale now. Apple's online store shows it ships immediately, so should be in stock at just about every Apple store.

If you have a verfied billing address located in the US, & ship to a US address, yes. But, from what I can tell, online orders have slipped to delivery in October.

Apple has not announced one. If it's like the 4S it will be out in 5 to 6 weeks. -
Is it possible to buy an iPhone 4s unlocked in the US, and then use it normally and completely into France with Freemobile (which provides micro-SIM) ?
I'm travelling to NYC tomorrow and that would be 100€ less than in France...Thank you for the quick answer
Do you mean that I can't reserve and pick up my phone in the local apple store as it's explained on the site (http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/) ?
What about the social security number asked in the formulary ? I've got a French one...

Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud? At&t said that they unlocked the phone but that it needs to be reset in itunes and retored for it to work. However, I do not have access to my computer as I am overseas and need to put a new sim card in. Anyone had this problem and know a way to go around this?
If you have an backup on iCloud. You can restore via iTunes (on every computer) or via your iPhone itself.
And yes, you can restore the backup via iCloud.
To set iPhone to new do this: Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data and Reset all Settings.
It take a while. But after this, you can restore backup via iCloud. -

Where can I buy an unlocked iphone 3gs in Canada?
I will go to the other countries in future for business so i wonder if I can buy an unlocked iphone which can be used by inserting SIM card directly since locked iphone can't be used in the other countries? Or can I get offical tech unlocking for my iphone so that it can work in the other countries? Thanks for reply.
Officially unlocked iPhones are not sold in Canada. You could buy one in a country where they are sold unlocked, then use it in Canada with a Fido or Rogers SIM. The countries that sell them unlocked are listed here:
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
It may not be easy to buy, though, as they may require a local address, or payment with a debit or credit card issued in their country. Also, the warrantee is valid only in the country of sale. Even if you do get an unlocked iPhone, it may be difficult to get a local SIM in some countries (such as Japan or Korea). Things are easier if you know a resident of the country who is willing to buy the phone or SIM for you.
You can use a locked Canadian iPhone in other countries but they charge high roaming fees for voice, and exorbitant roaming fees for data. Data roaming can be disabled in "Settings" > "General" > "Network".
Fido and Rogers have some international plans that will reduce roaming fees a bit. Check with them before you leave. -

Can I buy an unlocked iPhone 5 without a contract?
Hello, I live in China. I'm visiting the US this winter, and I wanted to know if I could buy an unlocked iPhone 5 without a contract.
Since I'll only be visiting, I won't be needing it with a contract.
Is this possible?
I would buy this in China, but I know for a fact that an iPhone 4s ALONE would cost about $800 US dollars.
I'd perfer not to spend that much money on a phone when I can buy the original.
China has the tendency to make fake products, and I definitely don't want to pay $800+ US dollars for a fake.
So is it possible I can buy an unlocked iPhone 5 without a contract?puneet.marwaha wrote:
yes u r true...
but it will work on 3g in india...and also it seems much cheaper in US rather than in India...again no warranty but i think these types of gadgets work for long....
But the risk is high and sometimes it's not worth it. Anyway, good luck to you.
