I am from Nepal and want to buy unlocked sim free iphone 5s from USA. So will it work in Nepal?

I want to buy sim free iphone 5s from USA. So can I be able to use it here in Nepal with either of NCELL or NTC network?

Any unlocked iPhone should work as a GSM phone anywhere in the world. However, iPhones have additional features that will not work on networks that are not partners with Apple. The features that may not work  include:
iTunes store and App Store
Visual Voicemail (almost certainly will not work)
LTE networks
3G networks
iMessage
FaceTime
MMS
GameCenter
Your Apple warranty will not be honored outside of the country of purchase. You may or may not be able to get services to fix it for a fee; I don't know if independent repair shops in Nepal can handle the iPhone. I do know that they cannot get official Apple replacement parts, so any parts that are needed will be gray market.
You might be be better off getting a phone in India; at least getting repairs and warranty service won't require traveling back to the US.

  • Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store ?

    Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store in nyc or is it exclusively avaliable online ?

    You can buy it at an Apple store. But you do not want "SIM Free", which means that you can use it with any carrier, but the phone becomes locked permanently to the first carrier you use it with. You want to be clear that you want an "UNLOCKED" phone. Apple does not sell SIM Free phones, but some independent dealers (such as Carphone Warehouse in the UK) do.
    Also, note that if you plan to use it outside of the US you will not have warranty or repair service available for it; Apple will only fix phones (in or out of warranty) in the country of purchase. And it may not work on LTE (4G) networks outside of North America.

  • Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?

    Can anyone help with this?
    Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?  Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

    Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there.  If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device.  If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts.  Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done.  See if the duplicates are still there.

  • IF we buy a contract free iphone 6 from US can we use it in india with airtel or reliance providers?

    The Model 1586 / 1524 happens to be the one most compatible with China
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
    If the phone is primarily for use in China - I would look to getting an unlocked version of that
    There are contradicting theories about Sprint for international use - so I would stay away from the Sprint model in the US

  • If I buy a Sim free iPhone in the UK will I be abel to use it on PAYG in Australia?

    If I buy a Sim free iPhone in the UK will I be abel to use it on PAYG in Australia? Or will in need jailbreaking? And what does this even mean?!
    Also, I'll still have a UK SIM (vodafone) that I'll want to check from time to time - will this work?
    thanks

    The iPhone4 and 4S use a microsim about half the size of the normal sim
    You would have to get replacements for your old sims to use a iPhone4/4S
    and no unlocked is unlocked will work anywhere with a GSM sim
    people use jailbreaking to get round not having an unlocked iPhone
    Go to an UK Apple Store
    you can reserve the night before online so you don't have a wasted journey
    http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/iphone/
    UK Apple stores only sell unlocked iPhones
    They will sell you one with a contract but you will have to go through a contract sign up process etc etc so there is no scope for error

  • Hi, I have a contract with Orange on my iPhone 4s and I have bought a sim free iPhone 5, how do I transfer the sim accross?

    Hi, I have a contract with Orange on my iPhone 4s and I have bought a sim free iPhone 5, how do I transfer the sim accross?
    Will I need to ask Orange to provide me with a free nano sim and then ask them to transfer the number to that new sim?
    Thanks!

    If you buy the phone unlocked / SIM free from Apple it will not come with a SIM.
    You will need to contact Orange (how is up to you), to get a nano-SIM and then get them to transfer your phone account and number from the old SIM to the new.
    With O2, you can do this in an O2 Store, over the telephone, over the internet or via text message. Perhaps it is the same with Orange. No matter what though, you'll have to contact Orange to get a nano SIM so ask them the process at the same time.

  • 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.

  • I bought an audiobook from Itunes and want to put it on my iphone but it won't let me without erasing my current music library on my iphone. How can I do this?

    I have two computers with itunes. I usually use my home computer to purchase music/audiobooks and then put them onto my iphone, but today I bought an audiobook on my office computer from itunes and when I try to put it on my iphone it won't let me unless I erase my current Itunes library that's on my iphone. How do I get the audiobook onto my iphone without erasing anything?

    You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone.  You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc.  Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

    -> Can I use a non-Consumer Cellular phone with my Consumer Cellular plan?
    "In many cases, yes, you can use your own phone with your Consumer Cellular plan. To be compatible with our service, your phone should be a phone previously used with AT&T, or an unlocked GSM phone:"
    -> Preparing Your Factory Unlocked iPhone for GCI’s Network
    "In order for the iPhone to work consistently on GCI’s network it must be a factory unlocked device. Only Apple’s website or official Apple stores sell factory unlocked devices."
    It would be nice if Apple would indicate in the list of supported carriers whether they are GSM or CDMA...
    Yes it would.

  • Planning to buy unlocked version of  iphone 4 from australia to india

    Hi All,
    I am planning to get an iphone 4 (unlock version) from australia. I have following doubts, please suggest:
    1. Can I cut the regular sim card available in india to make it mini sim card, and use it in the iphone 4.
    2. By doing this and if any other problem happens, can I get the service and support in India.

    1. Can I cut the regular sim card available in india to make it mini sim card, and use it in the iphone 4.
    Yes.
    2. By doing this and if any other problem happens, can I get the service and support in India.
    Most likely no. The warranty terms state that Apple "may" restrict warranty & service to the country of original purchase.
