Can i use an unlocked iphone 5 (bought from singapore) in india?

Am about to ask my friend to get me a factory unlocked iphone5 from Singapore. Can anyone tell me if I will face any problems in using the phone in India? I am aware of the iOS 6 features that cannot be used in India. Other than that, any network issues, antena problem (like the iphone 4s) etc?

Not for iPhone. The problem with warranty/support in India is that such is handled by the official carriers, not Apple, and they absolutely will not touch any iPhone not purchased from them.

  • Can I use an unlocked IPhone 5 from UK in México ?

    MY daughter is studyng near London, and I want to parchase a Phone that can be used after in México.

    If you purchase an ulocked iPhone directly from an Apple store it will work worldwide. But it MUST be directly from Apple; no one else sells legitimately unlocked iPhones.
    Especially beware of Carphone Warehouse; they do NOT sell unlocked iPhones, but they claim they do with the "SIM free" iPhone. First, it will only work with UK carriers, and it will also lock to the first carrier it is used with. Stay away!

  • Can I use an unlocked iphone 4s from USA in Spain? Does it gonna work with a different frequency?

    I want a iphone 4s unlocked. Can I buy it on the United States and use on Spain? I listened that the frequency is different on this countries, and that the phone may doesn't work. I want to know it.
    Thank you so much

    The iPhone 4S will certainly work in Spain, even if purchased in the US.  Keep in mind, however, that warranty service is limited to the country of purchase.  Youll have to send your phone to someone in the US to bring into Apple if your phone needs warranty service.
    In addition, there is VERY limited availbility of the unlocked iPhone 4S in US Apple stores, if they're even available at all.  At this point, they're really only available online directly from the Apple Store

  • Can I used an unlocked iPhone 5S from US here in the Philippines?

    I was planning to buy an iPhone 5S in US anf bring it here in our country (Philippines) so I was asking if I can used it with our carrier.

    It can be used on GSM networks, but not on LTE because the Asian bands are different from the North American bands.
    Note also that if it needs service it will have to be returned to the US, because service and warranty are only provided in the country where the phone was purchased.
    You would be better off getting a phone locally.

    Apple is not yet selling the unlocked version of 6 or 6 Plus (I verified this today at the Apple store, in person).  Many say that some versions now sold are unlocked, but you pay your money and take your chances.  I prefer to wait.
    Oh, and if you are abroad for 3 years, you will have no warranty and no Apple service unless the phone is returned to the US.  Sounds like a good reason (to me) to buy it overseas.  YMMV
    This does, of course, depend on what country one is inhabiting.

  • Can I use debit card for purchasing from iTunes in India?

    Can I use debit card for purchasing from iTunes in India?

    Hi
    There is a small discussion that iTunes takes debit card with a Visa/Mastercard logo.  I have no idea what the banking rules are in India.  But this may another option to try.

  • Can i use IPHONE bought from America in INDIA

    I want to clarify a doubt whether an IPHONE bought from America can work in India..

    Only if you want to roam on an AT&T account. The iPhone in the USA is locked to work only with an AT&T SIM.

  • I have softbank(japan) SIM card can i use in unlocked iphone 3G?

    im now in japan and i have softbank SIM card. And i want to order an unlocked iphone 3G from australia. can i use it?
    thx.

    All supported carriers require a data plan with the iPhone.
    If your carrier will permit it, you can put a Micro-SIM in the phone that does not have a data plan.  Make sure, however, that you turn off mobile (cellular) data in settings or you're going to potentially rack up some serious charges.  Not to mention tha fact that you are in effect, crippling the phone.
    If you're in the US, attempting to use AT&T, they will automatically add a data plan to the account when they detect you are using an iPhone without one.

  • Can I use my unlock iPhone 4S (bought from UK) in Hong Kong?

    I've heard about the GSM and CDMA carriers but not sure what they are?? So can the unlocked iPhone 4S be used internationally? I'll be travelling to Hong Kong and will get the micro SIM there.

  • I bought a unlocked canadian iphone 4s, i am going to me living in the usa can i use my unlocked iphone 4s with sprint?

    i am wondering if i can use my unlocked canadian iphone 4s in the states with sprint? can the cdma be unlocked so that any company that uses cdma can support it? or is the gsm the only one that can be unlocked and used with differnt carriers that support gsm?

    The ONLY way this could happen would be if the OP returned the phone within the first 30 days of purchase in the original country of purchase, then bought a new one in the US on the Sprint network.

  • Can I use officially unlocked iPhone in different countries?

    I'm moving to Rome with my job for eight months, then on to Chicago for four months, then back to London. I'm trying to find out if I buy an unlocked Pay as You Go iPhone in one of the various EU countries selling manufacturer unlocked units (France, Germany, Italy, etc) , will it work in each country if I switch to that country's telecom's Sim cards.
    The blogs and iPhone dedicated websites are full of opinions but no one seems to have definitive experience doing this. Some users say it should work, others say the EU iPhones are unlocked for the specific country of purchase but will not work with another country's telecom's Sim cards. The Apple Stores will not confirm any usage outside their own country. Similar response from the relevant telecoms. The Apple Support pages do not make any reference to cross country usage beyond roaming.
    A privately unlocked iPhone is an option but I prefer an official unlock so there are no hassles. Not looking for opinions here - can find more than enough on the internet. I'm looking for actual first hand experience using these officially unlocked iPhones between countries.

    Thanks for the correction on the relevant carriers. Looking at the European options: Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, and Czech Republic should work based on details from Apple's carrier list.
    Before I buy I would like to confirm someone has actually purchased an unlocked iPhone in either Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg or Czech Republic and used it with Sim cards from another country.

  • Can I use an unlocked iPhone in the US

    Last year, I bought an unlocked iPhone, so I could use it in Brazil. This year I am moving to the States and would like to keep my phone - what should I do?
    Thanks!

    Nothing.  When you move to the US, you can sign up for service with any GSM carrier.  One you sign up for an account you will be provided with the appropriate SIM for your phone.

  • HT201328 how to unlock iPhone bought from France

    My friend bought iphone 4s from France and it is not unlocked yet. how can I unlock it please?

  • Can I use my unlocked iphone on a pay as you go SIM card?

    I recently bought an iPhone 5 unlocked on the apple store UK. I am wondering if I can use a pay as you go SIM card with a top up card. I don't want to pay anything monthly. I just want to be able to top it up. Can I use pay as you go if it is unlocked?

    If the carrier you wish to use has a pay-as-you-go iPhone plan, then yes, you can. It's a matter for the carrier and not something to do with the iPhone itself, as long as it's truly unlocked.
    Regards.
