HT1807 If I buy the Iphone 5 in USA, can I use it in China?

CAn I buy the iphone 5 in USA but to use in China?

No because there are no unlocked iPhone 5's for sale in the US at the moment.
You will also have warranty issues and there are no international warranties with the iPhone.  You will also have issues with the LTE frequency and the phone will only work on 3G.
If you live in China, then wait until the iPhone 5 becomes available there and buy it there.
If you live in the US and purchase an iPhone 5 on contract there, then you can use the phone in China with the international roaming feature, although you will only be able to get 3G rather than 4G.

    If the device is not locked to a carrier (contract free is NOT the same as being unlocked) then it will work with any supported GSM carrier world wide.
    Keep in mind that warranty and support are not International.

  • Hello, I'd like to know, if I buy an iphone 5s in us, can I use it in France, and if it's not ok in France, can I be refund ou change it in a French Apple Store?

    Hello, I'd like to know, if I buy an iphone 5s in us, can I use it in France, and if it's not ok in France, can I be refund ou change it in a French Apple Store?

    If you purchase an unlocked iPhone in the US, you certainly can use it in France.  Not a very smart idea, however, because it's not guaranteed to support the LTE bands in Europe, and if there's a problem with the phone, you will have to either bring the phone back to the US yourself, or send it to someone you know in the US to bring it in to Apple for evaluation.  The iPhone warranty is NOT international.
    You cannot refund or exchange a US iPhone in a French Apple Store.
    You will be doing yourself a big favor to purchase your phone in France.

  • If I Buy an iPhone 5 In Singapour, CAN I use it In Europe?

    If I Buy an iPhone 5 In Singapour, CAN I use it In Europe?

    The only officially unlocked iPhone 5 model, sold in the US, is the A1428 GSM model. Not only will your warranty support only be valid in the US, but the phone will not support LTE anywhere other than North America.
    Doubt you'll save much, if any, money by the time you pay tax & duty fees. Seems like a poor idea to me.

  • The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end.

    The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I've tried it multiple times and continue to get the same message: "NOT FOUND The requested item could not be found". I also tried through the Market application on the phone but ended-up with the same result.
    I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end. If this is the case then no one can download the app. I considered that perhaps because it's still in Beta that it was removed due to some other type of software issue. I would really like to use Firefox on my new Droid (2.0); when with this be available?

    Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
    Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
    (Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

  • If I buy the iPad 2 with 3g, can I use it on a wireless network without using the 3g?

    If I buy the iPad 2 with 3g, can I use it on a wireless network without using the 3g?

    I leave both 3G and Wireless permanently enabled. I find that whenever I am within range of one of my chosen Wireless networks it automatically uses Wi-Fi rather than 3G. When I am not my Ipad2 uses 3G.
    So in essence Wi-Fi takes priority over 3G.

  • IPhone purchased in USA can be use in costa rica

    If you purchased a legitimate unlocked iPhone directly from Apple, or an iPhone that was legitimately unlocked by AT&T, yes.
    It will have no warranty outside the U.S.

  • I already have an iPhone with Verizon, my upgrade isn't until next June 2014. Can I buy the iPhone 5s from Apple and still use it with verizon?

    I dropped my phone in some water and I don't have apple care. It's been about a week and I'd rather put the money into fixing my iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5s. But I'm not sure if I can just buy the phone from Apple and still use it with verizon. Can someone help?

    Yes, Apple will sell you an iPhone you can use with Verizon.

  • HT1937 If I buy a iphone 5 in Cambodia can I use in other countries

    If I buy an I phone 5 in Cambodia have it unlocked can I use it in Australia

    If you buy a fully unlocked iPhone directly from Apple, then yes, you can use it in either country, but what you also need to bear in mind is the LTE and 4G issues - if you purchase in one country you won't get LTE and 4G in the other and vice versa.
    Also, there is the subject of the warranty - iPhone warranty is NOT international, so if you buy in Australia and something happens to the phone, you have to go back to Australia to get it fixed and vice versa for Cambodia.
    The best advice is to buy a phone from the country that you want to use it is - so if you live and spend most time in Australia, then buy a phone in Australia and vice versa.

  • If i buy a sim-free iphone 5s in America, can i use it in China with a Chinese sim card?

    i've bought a sim-free iphone 5s  in apple store in America but i am worried that i cannot use it with a Chinese sim card. Can someone help me?
    Thank you very much!

    The iPhone is sold as "unlocked and contract-free" when purchasing that option from the Apple Store, though Apple's verbiage is using "unlocked" and "SIM-free" rather interchangeably:
    The unlocked iPhone includes all the features of iPhone but without a wireless contract commitment. You can activate and use the unlocked iPhone on the supported GSM wireless network of your choice, such as AT&T or T-Mobile in the United States. The unlocked iPhone will not work with CDMA-based carriers, including Sprint and Verizon Wireless.
    If you don’t want a multiyear service contract, or if you prefer to use a local carrier when traveling abroad, the unlocked iPhone is the best choice. If you choose T-Mobile, your iPhone comes with a T-Mobile SIM card already installed. You will need to contact T-Mobile or visit an Apple Retail Store to activate your iPhone.
    Otherwise, the unlocked iPhone does not come with a micro-SIM card for iPhone 4s, or a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s so you’ll need to get one from any supported GSM carrier worldwide. To start using your iPhone, simply insert the SIM card into the slot and turn on iPhone by pressing and holding the On/Off button for a few seconds. Then follow the onscreen instructions to set up your iPhone.
    Purchasing an unlocked iPhone means you will not qualify for the lower iPhone price associated with a contract. The unlocked iPhone 5c model is A1532 (GSM). The unlocked iPhone 5s model is A1533 (GSM).
    To help decide whether the locked or unlocked option is right for you, compare wireless service plans. Or call our iPhone Specialists at 1-800-MY-APPLE.
    Be aware that if you purchase an iPhone in the US, that will be the only place you will get support from Apple should you need it. You will not get any support for a US-sold iPhone in China.
    Regards.

  • If you buy the apple tv in australia can you use the NHL to watch live NHL games???

    ??

    I would suppose so. I live in Portugal and I have access to all the games, including the playoffs that have just started.
    You might have to change you Apple Store to USA or Canada to be able to access the NHL Gamecenter app, and you also need to pay the NHL subscription to access the games live. Otherwise I believe you will only be able to see the highlights afterwards.
