Can i buy iphone 4 without contract in order to use in Brazil?

can i buy iphone 4 without contract in order to use in Brazil?

Probably, but it will depend on what country you expect to purchase in. In addition to not having a contract, you also will need to ensure that the iPhone you purchase is not locked to a particular carrier (sometimes referred to as "sim free"). Unlocked iPhones are sold only in a few countries, so make sure you can get one in the country you intend to visit before you purchase, and buy only from an authorized reseller or you stand a significant chance of getting an iPhone that's been hacked, not officially unlocked.
Note as well that if your iPhone, purchased in another country, ever needs service, you would have to ship the iPhone to a friend or relative in the country of purchase. You would not be able to get service or support in Brazil.
It's a lot less risk and hassle if you just buy your iPhone from one of the authorized Brazilian carriers. Claro, VIVO and TIM all apparently offer unlocking, though you would have to find out their terms for doing so, and iPhones from Oi apparently are not locked at all, though you will need to confirm.

    You cannot purchase an iPhone from Apple on-line except in your own country. Apple will NOT ship an iPhone out of the country the store is for.

    Sure, but why? You will have no warranty & support for this phone in Brazil...none. Anything goes wrong & you'll have to return the phone to India for all service & warranty support.

  • 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 4s frome uk and use it in egypt

    can i buy iphone 4s frome uk (reading) and use it in egypt?

    If you buy it unlocked and Egypt uses the same bands/frequencies.
    Warranty is not international and iPhone would have to be returned
    to EU if service or replacement was needed. Buy your iPhone in
    Egypt to avoid these problems.

  • How can i buy iPhone 6 without contract?

    how can i buy iPhone 6 without contract?

    No, it is contract-free (meaning no 2-year contract that you are locked into), but it is not unlocked. Here is what the Apple iPhone 6 site says about the T-Mobile contract-free device:
    If you have selected an iPhone for T-Mobile, it will come with the appropriate nano-SIM, but you will need to contact T-Mobile or visit an Apple Retail Store to activate your iPhone.
    In order to activate it, you have to select a T-Mobile plan and pay for it (it is monthly). Once the device has been activated, you can use other compatible SIMs with it.
    When the unlocked phone is released at a later date, this is what the site says about it:
    If you have selected an unlocked GSM phone, you can insert your own nano-SIM card or obtain one from the supported GSM carrier of your choice and activate it in order to use your iPhone.
    So, the T-Mobile is not unlocked. It is contract-free, and you will be paying for at least one month's worth of service from T-Mobile.
    Cheers,

  • Do I need to activate the Iphone 4 if I buy it without contract?

    Hey Guys, Do I really need to activate the Iphone 4 when I buy it without contract at the apple retail store? Thanks.

    If you are in the US, you cannot purchase an iphone directly from Apple without an AT&T contract. If you want to purchase a no commitment/no contract iphone, you will have to purchase such directly from AT&T. However, the phone will have to be activated on AT&T's network before you can do anything with it. AT&T will require that you establish a post paid account at a minimum.

  • Iphone without contract and without sim LOCK

    hi, can I buy the iphone without contract and without sim LOCK?? if then where, for information binn I sechr gratefully. greeting

    Actually, you don't HAVE to sign a two year contract with AT&T, you can use the GO Phone option and do a month-to-month payment.
    The drawback to that is that for your $50/month you get less than half as many minutes and no pre-paid SMS. You do, however, get unlimited internet turning your iPhone into a miniature laptop that you pay way too much to use each month... grin
    I'm on the GO Phone option until my stupid T-Mobile contract expires later this year...

  • 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.
