Can i unlock a US iPhone 5 and use it in australia?

im about to buy a iphone 5 from the US, locked to us sprint carrier. am i able to unlock this phone and use it with vodafone in australia?

Unless you are a Sprint customer, using the phone on Sprint's newtwork, don't waste your money, as Sprint will not authorize the unlocking of the phone. Not to mention, you'll have no warranty/support for this phone in Australia, & it won't support LTE there as well.
Frankly, this is a bad idea.

  • Can I buy an iPad from America and use it in Australia?

    Can I buy an American iPad with cellular (3g/4g) and use it in Australia using an Australian sim card?
    Thanks.

    You have to buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple Store.
    Note: There is no warranty outside of US. iPhone 5 unlocked is not available at the moment.

  • HT4993 Hey how can i unlock my sprint iphone 5 to use it with t-mobile?

    Some people told me
    1st i need to ask to sprint for some code to unlock my iphone 5
    2do some people told me i need take my device to some apple store and they going to do it
    3th some people also say. That cant be possible ever
    So i need to know whats the real thing if i can unlock my sprint iphone 5 to activate it with t-mobile

    Sprint will only unlock the device for use with GSM carriers outside the US.
    If you want an iPhone to use on T-Mobile, buy one designed to work on their network.

  • Is it possible to unlock my french iphone 4s to use it in Australia?

    Hi everybody, sorry for my english I'm a frenchman.. Si i'm in front of a BIG problem, in fact i'm asking myself a qustion and I tried to find an answwer online but nothing.. That's why I'm here! I hope you'll be able to help me
    My question is : I'm about to buy an Iphone 4s 16go white in France and in one month i'll move to Australia; will I be able to se it there? I don't think so.. But is it possible to unlock it ? I don't want to buy it if I can't.. So if anybody know if an international unlock is possible, please tell me!
    Thank you all, have a nice day

    All of the French carriers, except Free Mobile, offer official unlocking. If you purchase a carrier locked iPhone, you'll have to contact the carrier regarding their unlocking policy. Once unlocked, you can use it anywhere in the world on any supported carrier's GSM network. You MUST get the phone unlocked while you're still in France, if you purchase a carrier locked iPhone.
    Honestly, your best bet is to purchase an officially unlocked iPhone directly from Apple, if you are going to purchase in France.

  • Can I purchase an IPhone 5 that is factory unlocked, so that I can insert my t-mobile sim card and use it on my service from the apple store?

    Not in the US, at the present time. Apple has not started selling officially unlocked iPhone 5's in the US, & has not announced when they will.

    Apple doesn't unlock phones. You will need to contact the original cellular provider to determine if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.

  • Can i buy i phone from US and use it in India or different part of the world after unlocking it? if yes, than will apple unlock it or need  to do it by myself?

    There are no officially unlocked iPhone 5's available, in the US, at the present time. No announcement, as to availability has been made. The only unlocked iPhone, available now, is the iPhone 4 or 4S. Either of these versions will work, but will have no warranty or support in India. They can only be purchased directly from Apple, no where else.

  • Apple iPhone 5c on EE brand new unopened no sim put in to it yet... if I buy it can i put my Vodafone sim in and use it as normal?

    Hi all,
    Im thinking of buying a friends iPhone 5C contract upgrade as he doesn't want it now...
    It's on EE but still sealed un-opened etc
    Can i put my Vodafone sim in and use it as i heard some phones are sim free until the first sim goes in to it?
    Can i hear your input please.
    Much appreciated,
    Jo

    If locked to EE, you will have to get your friend to request that EE unlock it before it can be used on any other network. So, don't purchase until you have verified that your friend has gotten the phone officially unlocked.

    I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
    Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

  • I have an Iphone 5S and used to sync it to my computer in the past without any problem, but now I can't and appears the message "usb device not recognized", and the cable is good and so the USB port. Do you have any idea what's the problem?

    Try leaving it plugged in and then restart the computer.

  • If I can buy apps on the iPhone 4, and then I want the same apps I bought it in the new iPhone that I have. Can or not?

    If I can buy apps on the iPhone 4, and then I want the same apps I bought it in the new iPhone that I have. Can or not?

    If the device has the same Apple ID signed onto the iTunes & App Store, then you can download any apps purchased under that Apple ID to that device.
    I thought you were asking about a game and game statistics being shared between two devices with two separate players. What I said about that is that if it is under the same ID, then the game is going to have the same statistics on both devices, and any updates to those would be reflected in both places. So, two different players wouldn't be able to have separeate statistics if they were playing under the same Apple ID.

    Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use it as a ipod since i do not wish to activate it yet?

    The phone needs to be activated first with a sim in it.  It doesn't need to be an active sim.  Read this
    USING AN IPHONE AS AN IPOD
    Restore your phone as new.  Place a SIM card into the phone and connect it your computer with iTunes open and follow the activation assistant to activate the iphone.  Once the iphone have been activated remove the SIM card and turn on imessage in settings/messages.  Only your Apple ID should appear in the “You can be reached by imessage at” and “Start new conversation from” fields.  Read the following article for help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406
