Can the iphone 5s bought in HK can work in Canada LTE ?

can the iphone 5s bought in HK can work in Canada LTE ?

Hi Good morning!
When it comes to warranty it'll be applicable only in the country were you bought it from... now when it comes to international GSM usage you need to keep the following in mind:
T-Mobile is selling contractless iPhones (NOT FACTORY UNLOCKED), yes they are internationally sim unlocked as mentioned on the Apple online US store BUT it'll be under T-Mobile conditions which you can find here: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588 (please read it before taking the decision).
So if you're expecting to buy an iPhone 5s either from Apple or T-Mobile (online or physical store) and use it out of the US since day one... You better wait until Apple itself releases the GSM unlocked version otherwise be ready to activate your phone with T-Mobile first and wait 40 as a minimun requirement to have it internationally unlocked and use it anywhere with GSM carriers. (Again, take a look at the previous link for full requirements).

  • The iphone 5 bought from Japan can be taken the service from AppleStore in US?

    Hi guys,
    My iphone5 was bought from Japan two months ago...but which was crashed accidentally. Now the screen was shattered.
    I get a business trip to US next month. Could I take it to AppleStore for screen replacement? How much is the service?
    Thanks,
    William Y.

    No .
    You will have to pay in Japan ,as warranty does not cover damage
    Should have added the warranty is not WW nor is service as Apple stores replace not repair and every geography sells different models which are only carried in the original source country

  • How can I use the iPhone i bought here in the US in the philippines?

    i have an iphone and i was just wondering how can i can use the iphone i bought here in the united states to the philippines? is it even possible? please help me. thanks!

    Yes, but extremely expensive - get an international roaming plan from AT&T.
    If you mean use it with a local carrier, then no - all iPhones sold in the US are carrier-locked to AT&T. You're better off selling the phone to someone in the US and buying one in the Philippines.

  • Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?

    Hello,
    I'm Chintan from India. I have visited UK for study and brought iPhone 5 for me. I used it for about 16 days and now its started showing the problem of coverage. I mean, it shows "NO SERVICE" at the place of carrier name and tower symbol.
    My query:
    Do Apple have this kind of worthless service provider policy?
    I have visited the local authorized service center and they are not accepting my iPhone 5 and telling me that they can not accept it for repair or service because I have brought it from UK. I have checked my iPhone 5 status on the Apple Site and it is showing full cover of Repair and Service, then why the local Apple Authorized Service Center is not accepting my iPhone 5?
    Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?
    Kindly help me out as I'm stuck with the so called APPLE IPHONE 5.
    Looking for the POSITIVE, SUPPORTIVE and HELPFUL reply.
    Thank You

    You should have read the warranty/support terms before you made your purchase. Had you, you would have found that iPhone warranty/support is only valid in the country of original purchase(except for the EU where warranty/support is EU wide). In your case, your warranty/support is only valid in the EU, as you have now found out...after your purchase. And, you are correct, they will not service the phone in India.
    Always been this way with the iPhone.

  • Can not activate iPhone 4 with other GSM carriers, the iPhone was bought in Apple Store in Dec'2010

    Hi, I bought one iPhone in Dec, 2010 in Palo Alto Apple Store and tried to use it in Asia, but failed. The iPhone cannot activate the SIM card. Any ideas? The iPhone was bought at $599 for 16G version, so I assume it is unlocked version already? Thanks a lot in advance!

    Apple didn't start selling unlocked iPhones in the US until June of 2011. Your phone will still be locked to AT&T. AT&T does not provide unlocking.

  • I get iphone 6 bought from Germany, can it be used in China?

    I get iphone 6 bought from Germany, can it be used in China?

    It should do, as long as you purchased it unlocked from Apple in Germany? 
    Just remember though, that you will probably not get 4G in China due to differences in frequency and you will definitely have no warranty cover for the phone in China - it will be an EU warranty as the phone came from Germany and iPhone warranty is not international.
    Other than this, the phone should work on 2g or 3g if it is unlocked.

  • I restore my iPhone 4S on iTunes and then when restarted it is asking for valid SIM card and I don't have SIM card for that, I was just using the iPhone with wifi, any one can help? Please.

    I doubt the phone is locked to GCI in any way
    Well, you're wrong, & in fact not only is it locked, GCI does not offer unlocking for iPhones.
    Fact is your post won't help the OP.
    And you are 100% sure its locked to them? How can you know this? While GCI does not offer unlocking that does not mean the phone is actually locked to it. Get off your high horse.
    Its possible the original owner had an unlocked phone. he was using with GCI. Or that GCI doesn't actually have locked phones. Seeing as they don't even have their own infrastructure but instead use AT&T's I doubt they'd have iPhones specifically locked to them and that would be the reason they do not offer unlocking (because there's nothing for them to unlock). And just to clarify, I'm not saying for a fact its not locked to them. It very well maybe be, but without knowing more about the phone and going by the fact GCI uses AT&T infrastrucure its possible its not locked. But here's no way to say for sure either way.
    Trying a Sim card from AT&T or another carrier might just help the OP if its actually unlocked or locked to AT&T rather than GCI.

  • How many contacts can the iPhone hold....now?

    This question was asked back in 2008 and has been archived, however I'd like to revisit this issue.
    What I'd like to know, is this:
    How many contacts can the iPhone hold before it effects performance?
    I have a iPhone user with an MS Exchange email account on the phone, Calendar and Contact sync is turned on. The problem is, the user has 10,000 contacts.
    The contacts synchronized to the iphone, however, when writing emails or doing any task that accesses the contacts database (i.e. auto-completion of names), There is a good 35 to 40 second lag before you can enter the second letter of a name on the keyboard. I can only assume that this is due to the pure insanity of having 10,000 contacts on a mobile device... The search takes too long. Although it did work just fine on the blackberry (a lessor device ).
    Can anyone tell me if there is a limit on how many contacts one can successfully store on an iPhone without running into the "lag" issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    What is the overall size of all these songs?
    This will determine how many songs the iPhone can hold.
    The actual capacity of an 8GB iPhone is around 7.3 GB - OS X alone takes up approximately 500MB.
    You should leave some free space available on the iPhone for general operating purposes and if you access any email accounts and for Safari cache purposes, etc.
    So you have around 7GB available - as long as the overall size of all 9400 songs isn't greater than 7GB or so, you are covered.

  • I have an iPhone5 16 gb and a 120 gb iPod. All my songs won't fit on the iPhone of course. How can I just get some of them on the iPhone? I want to keep all my music on the iPod. I am VERY new to all this so be gentle and thanks.

  • The software on iphone has expired + Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined + Can't restore = Help!

    Hello guys, I'm begging for your help, I've read so many threads, nothing works for me. I hope you will try to help me
    First message I get when I connect the iphone is
    "The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version"
    Then it tries to backup but I get
    "Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined"
    When I click check for updates it says I have the latest version (5.0)
    When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again"
    Tried that MANY times but no luck.
    This iphone was on a developper account but it is not anymore (removed from developper account).
    I'm the administrator on my PC. When I'm on the summary of my iphone it shows N/A as my phone number.
    Back up to icloud doesn't work because I didn't set it up before it stopped working
    When I try to activate it directly from the iphone I always get "Could not activate iphone. Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarely unavailable..." (for the past 3 weeks :s)
    I can access my music and everything from itunes.
    I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work.
    I also tried device manager, select PC, scan hardware for changes (read it worked for some) but not for me after that I don't get the
    "The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version" and "Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined" ...I just get "Itunes could not back up iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone" + "itunes could not sync because a connection could not be established with the iphone"
    Please help me make it work again! I'd go to an apple store but I'm in south-east asia at the moment and there is nothing like it in 700km +
    This little machine would be perfect to travel with, it's a shame it just stopped working like 3 weeks ago, just said I needed to activate it again ...
    Thanks a million times!

    I can't access it on the iphone as I said
    On itunes in summary I have  "Software version: 5.0"
    Yes I tried to restore it
    "When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again" ...did that many times but always the same error message
    "I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work."

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

    "can the iphone 5 hold 1170 songs and 85 apps or should i go for the 32gb model?"

    I have more music than that and more apps, and I have a 32GB model with about 15GB free, so I would suggest the 32GB.

  • MacBook, USB wireless antenna, and tethered iPhone 4: Can the iPhone use the antenna?

    I have a late 2008 MacBook, a USB wireless antenna (Etekcity High Power 802.11 B/N/G 300M USB Wireless 1000mw Wifi Network Adapter with Dual Antenna), and a USB-tethered iPhone 4. My cell signal is often very poor, and when it is, trying to use the Internet on my iPhone is an exercise in futility.
    Can the iPhone use the wireless antenna as an external antenna by, in effect, using the MB as a pass-through device or signal booster? I'd have the iPhone at one end of the chain, connected to the MB via USB, the MB in the middle, and the external antenna on the other end, also via USB.
    Is there an app for that? Or are we talking about sending/receiving completely different signals?

    Max, I just got the etekcity usb antenna thing and I can't find the mac adapter.  Can you tell me which driver you're using?  (the cd that comes with it doesn't seem to work).
    Thanks!
