Although I agree pretty much with what you say, since there is no unlocked phone yet announced, we don't know which of the three models Apple may make available unlocked.

  • If I purchase an unlocked iPhone 5 from the USA, would I be able to use the phone in Australia?

    If I purchase an unlocked iPhone 5 from the USA, would I be able to use the phone in Australia?

    Yes - unlocked means unlocked, but if there is a problem that requires an exchange under warranty, the warranty would be honored in the US only. You would need to return to the US for an exchange under warranty.

  • Can I get a unlocked iPhone 5 in the store

    Can I get a unlocked iPhone 5 in the store in USA

    if you buy the phone from apple, online or store, and you do not use your upgrade, in other words pay full price. You can go to att.com. scroll your mouse over the wireless tab. and click the link, "unlock iphone" Fill out the few questions it asks you and at&t will contact you by email with instructions for unlocking the phone. I spoke with at&t about this the other day and as long as the phone isnt in a contract or the contract is satisfied (termination fee paid) then they will unlock it for you..

  • Can you have 2 seperate iphone accounts on the same computer?

    Can you have two seperate iphone accounts on the same computer??? please help?

    Yes. If you want separate iTunes accounts, the easiest way is to set up 2 users on the computer, each with their own iTunes library.
    If the two phones share the same iTunes account this is not necessary.

  • Can we purchase an unlocked iPhone from Apple?

    HELLO, I JUST READ THE BELOW ARTICLE IN ONE OF THE iPhone Magazines, and I understand that Apple is selling Un-Locked iPhones. Therefore, does that mean we can purchase it directly from the online Apple store and/or in the stores that we enjoy visit ting and learn all the great info in their WORKSHOPS and One On One appointments.
      I appreciate if anyone reading this, has actually witnessed or actually purchase an Un-locked iPhone online or in the Apple stores. If so, please tell me how and where you accomplished your new purchase.
    Respects,

    MacRumors and 9to5 Mac have both confirmed that Apple will start selling unlocked versions of the iPhone 4 starting on Wednesday, June 15th. Although these rumors surfaced over the weekend, most tech blogs were skeptical since Apple has always frowned upon unlocking (AKA "jail-breaking") their devices to be used with any carrier. The unlocked versions only apply to the GSM versions (the ones compatible with AT&T). Verizon versions of the iPhone (CDMA versions) will still be incompatible with other carriers. This move is poised to benefit T-Mobile, who uses GSM phones, as new users can now sign up with them without having to jail-break the iPhone. If the T-Mobile-AT&T merger goes through, however, it'll end up making little difference to the end-user.
    Unlocked versions of the iPhone 4 (in both black and white color) will retail for $649 for the 16GB, and $749 for the 32GB version.

    Apple Starts Selling Unlocked iPhone 4s
    Submitted by Uncle Tone on 6/22/11 2:45pm
    News if you believe all readers are in the U.S.  Sim free and contract free iPhone 4s have been available from Apple without any frowning in many other countries for a year or so. Congratulations to the U.S. for catching up!

    Apple IS selling unlocked iPhones 4 via the online store. NOW.  I don't know if all or any of the retail stores sell them yet.
    Note that the online store will ship only to a US address and US credit card.  Also, the warranty is valid only in the US.  If you live elsewhere, you'll have to ship it to a US resident to take it for warranty issues - can't direct ship from out of the US.

  • Can I purchase an unlocked iPhone in the US and use it in Malta?

    Hi all
    I'll be visiting NYC in the coming months and I would love to own an iPhone 4s! I am interested in buying an unlocked iPhone 4s from an authorised Apple store in NYC as the current prices in my country, Malta for an iPhone 4s is $800 with one of our service providers and its quite expensive :/.  Would I have any problems if I use my local SIM card on it in Malta? 

    The only issue you need to be aware of is warranty/support. Yours will only be valid in the US. Any issues, and you'll have to figure out how to physically return the phone, to the US, for all warranty issues...you can't mail it back.
    1 reason too buy apple product's ! its didnt get any hardware issue Normally !

  • Can I purchase simlock free iPhone 5 in Hong Kong and later use it in the Netherlands?

    I'll be in Hong Kong for about 1-2 weeks or so and would like to buy the new iPhone 5. Will this iPhone work in the Netherlands or Finland?
    And is the only way to purchase a simlock free iPhone 5 through the website?
    Can I reserve today (26th Nov) even though I'll be arriving in Hong Kong in 3 weeks? (They say if its available you'll get the info to pick it up the next day)
    Is there a big chance that the iPhone will be out of stock, mid/late December?
    Thankss

    Have a look here I can't determine whether Apple HK sell
    unlocked iPhones which is what you must Buy
    Generally if unlocked is available it is
    ONLY Apple that sells them either on the street or through their online store
    The warranty is NOT international so if you have any issues the
    iPhone will have to be returned to HK

  • Where can I buy an unlocked iPhone 5 in the US?

    Actually, two weeks later would be my friend's birthday and I would like to give him an unlocked iphone 5 (because he is in China) as a gift.
    I tried to call the apple retail store, and the assistant said that I could order unlocked iphone 5 online. But I could not find it online.
    Now, everywhere is out of stock. Where can I buy the unlocked iphone 5?

    I have yet to see Apple selling them unlocked from their site, but maybe soon.
    Also, Verizon's version of the iPhone 5 already comes unlocked, depending on what carrier type they would (CDMA/GSM) that may be your best route to go through Verizon. I havent seen the

  • HT4528 Can you buy an unlocked iPhone 5 off of this site and have it activated for Verizon service?

    I am wanting to buy a new iPhone 5, but I am not eligable for an upgrade yet so I'm planning on just buying an unlocked one. I don't know if I can, though, because it doesn't say that you can activate it on Verizon's service. Any help?

    The iPhone 5 for Verizon is unlocked for GSM networks worldwide. So you need to get a Verizon 5 for full price.

  • Can i buy an unlocked iphone 4 from the us apple website and use it in ireland?

    I want to buy a white iphone 4 but it is SO much cheaper to buy it off the apple US website than it is to buy it in Ireland. The difference is about $260 dollars(200 euro) I am just wondering if I buy it on the US website will I be able to use my iphone in Ireland as if i'd bought it here? I can get a micro-sim from my network as they are a GSM carrier. I'm just wondering will it definitely work for me in Ireland?

    If it's GSM then yes..

  • Can you use a US iPhone in the UK

    can you use a US iphon e in the UK

    You shouldn't have a problem, I would think it would work, as long as it's a GSM (AT&T) model. It should just be a matter of swaping out the SIM cards.
