hey! when i buy an unlocked iphone 5 from usa, dose it work in romania?

You'd be better served by purchasing an officially unlocked iPhone 5 in one of the EU countries. Except for the EU, iPhone warranty/support is limited to the country of original purchase. Thus, you won't have any warranty or support, for a US iPhone, where you live. However, if you purchase an iPhone in any EU country, your warranty/support is EU wide. Further, US iPhone 5's do not support LTE in Europe, only the models sold in Europe support such. Given these two issues, doesn't it make more sense to purchase your phone in Europe?

    can i directly buy an unlocked iphone from apple retail store?

    Possibly; it depends on where you are and what model of iPhone you're interested in. Call or visit your local Apple Store and ask.

    when i buy a ipad mini from verizon will it work in india

    BobTheFisherman, thank you
    I'm grateful that you helped me with understanding it. Now I get it.
    Dah•veed, with all due respect,
    What I asked about is the same thing ahmedsamiul707 asked about. I just wanted to know something more about the same thing. When you read the forum, you can see many threads which are exactly the same. Why add another thread if you have the same question? Only wanted an explanation. Was that so hard?
    So to make it clear - as BobTheFisherman provided - all iPads are unlocked.

  • HT201328 Does buying an unlocked iphone from apple disable some features

    I am currently looking to get an iphone5 and saw Apple sells unlocked iphones.  I currently have an iphone4 that was an At&t phone but I had them unlock it when my contract expired.  I switched over to Straighttalk and it doesnt allow my MMS features to work on their plan.  Ive tried to switch the MMS settings but nothing worked.  If I was to buy an iphone5 would it work on any system with different sim cards and if I had to change the settings would  I be able to restore them to the way it was when i purchased it in case certain things dont work.  Please help

    Yes. The T-Mobile nanoSIM which came with the  full price, unlocked iPhone 5 will work for a prepaid plan. However, neither Apple retail store employees nor the T-Mobile customer svc reps know this. It was quite an ordeal to activate. I had to order the prepaid activation kit online, wait for its arrival by snail mail, then use the activation code from the kit with the nanoSIM to activate the prepaid monthly plan $30/mon for 100 min+ unlim text + 5 GB 4G/LTE. I live in Pasadena, CA, and the 4G and LTE coverage here is extensive and reliable.
    I tossed the SIM which came with the activation kit.
    My local T-Mobile retail store wouldn't sell me a prepaid activation kit when I told them that I wanted the web-only $30/mon plan. The customer svc reps couldn't or wouldn't give me an activation code to use either.

  • If I buy an unlocked iphone from the usa, will it be compatable in the uk?

    I would like to buy an Iphone from the USA but am concerned that I will not be able to use it in the UK. Can anyone confirm if this is possible and if there is anything I will need to do?

    The officially unlocked GSM version will work fine. But why on earth do you want to do this? The iPhone warranty is not a true international warranty, thus you most likely won't have any warranty & support in the UK for a US purchased iPhone. Not to mention you can purchase officially unlocked iPhones in the UK. Your money, do what you want.

  • Hi. If i buy an unlocked iphone from canada. Will i be able to use it in Mauritius Island on network Orange?

    Hi,
    I live in Mauritius Island. My brother wants to send me an unlocked iphone 5s from CANADA as a gift, but i am unsure if i wil be able to use it here. Can you help? We use Orange here.

    Not sure that they are selling unlocked phones in Canada.  Mostly, the Canadian phones are carrier locked and the Canadian carrier do not offer unlocking, with Bell being the main one.
    It might work, but this would only be on 3G because you have to remember the frequency differences and phones built in Canada were designed to work in Canada with the Canadian carriers/networks.
    Also be aware that warranty for the iPhone is not international, so if anything goes wrong with the phone and you need help, you'll have to physically go back to Canada or post the phone back to your brother in Canada, but not directly to Apple.

  • Is it possible to use an unlocked iphone from USA in Norway?

    I want to buy a unlocked from from the america to use in america and in norway, is that possible without having any problems?

    yes it's possible.  Just be sure to buy an factory unlocked (which is NOT the same a non-contract) phone.  It should come with NO sim.
    Just remember, however, any repair needs to be done in the country of purchase.

  • If I buy an unlocked iPhone in Canada will it work in the UK?

    Hello,
         I'm going to Canada for a week in October. I was planning on buying an iPhone 5 for my daughter for christmas and noticed it was a lot cheaper in Canada so I was wondering if I bought an unlocked iPhone 5 in Canada could I put a o2 sim in it? And will it work in the UK?
    Thanks

    I am talking A1429 GSM which has bands 1,3,5
    I assume this is not available in North America .( it is not )
    Just found chart which identifies the models by geography
    Another very good reason for not cross bordering
    Thanks for the pointers

  • If I buy an unlocked iPhone5 in USA will it work in UK?

    I'm away to the States on business in October. Considering the exchange rate it would be considerably cheaper for me to buy an unlocked iPhone5 over there.
    However, I'm unsure whether it will work properly in the rest of the world? Does anyone know if the US spec will function properly in UK/Europe?
    Of course, there may not be an unlocked version available by then but if there was.....?
    Thanks
    Chris

    It will work in the UK, though you will need a plug adapter for the charger (you don't need a convertor for the charger).
    If you get a 3G version then get the AT&T version as they use micro-sim cards, so you can swap in a UK micro-sim card. The Verizon iPad is CDMA based and doesn't use micro-sim cards, so from a built-in 3G point of view isn't much use in the UK (I'm not aware of any CDMA carriers in Europe).

  • If I buy an unlocked iphone from apple in US will it work in uk when u get home with my tmobile sim?

    Anyone know

    Yes, but not with LTE network access if T-Mobile in the UK has LTE network access.
    In addition, the warranty if needed will be honored in the U.S. only. Any problem with the iPhone that cannot be resolved by any other means besides an exchange under warranty will require you returning to the U.S. with the iPhone for the exchange.

  • When i buy new unlock iphone 5 in apple store, can i use it in the russia?

    I want to buy it in the france on november

    As long as it is unlocked it will work on GSM networks.  Whether it works on LTE networks will depend on the bands they use and what the phone supports.
    Keep in mind that warranty and support are only valid in the country of Origin.  Excepetion being the EU where warranty and support for a device purchased in an EU country are honored in any EU country.

  • Officially unlocked iPhone from Canada in the US

    If buy a unlocked iPhone from Canada and want to use it in the states, can i still get warranty services and apple support in the states ?

    If you have to get a replacement phone for any reason, you will probably have to get it from Canada. The service replacements stocked at US Apple Stores are locked to AT&T.

    Authorized Distributors originally sold the hardware product." http://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/iPhone4warranty.pdf

  • If i buy an iphone4 from USA, will it work in Australia?

    Will it work in Australia?

    If you want to buy an iPhone in the US and use it in other countries, you MUST buy an unlocked iPhone from the Apple store.
    Keep in mind that warranty is country specific.  Unless you're just getting a heck of a deal because of the currency exchange rate, you are better off buying one in the country you intend to use it in.

  • Does buying unlocked iphone from U.S. requires unlocking in india...

    Does buying unlocked iphone from U.S. requires unlocking in india...

    Well, the 16GB unlocked iPhone 5 will reportedly cost $649+Tax here (don't know for sure as Apple has not put them on the web site yet).  You cannot buy unless you have a US form of payment, with a US billing address and a US shipping address (they WILL NOT ship outside of the USA).  Or, you could pay for a trip here and buy it in person.  Of course, if/when LTE comes to India, it probably will not work.  And if you need warranty service, you would have to return to the USA to get it as the iPhone warranty is not international.
    All that to save about $100, and get a phone that if it has problems, you cannot even get warranty service on?  If the $100 saving is that critical to you, it might suggest you should be shopping for a much cheaper phone in the first place.
