If the phone is unlocked then you can use it in India.
If your phone is locked, then the only way to get the phone unlocked is to contact your phone company/carrier. The person that sold you the phone in Saudi should have told you whether it was locked or unlocked. Contact them to check and then contact the carrier to have it unlocked if it is locked.
Other than that there is not a lot that you can do - perhaps it was unwise to purchase a phone in Saudi - it won't have Facetime on it if you got it there.

I am planning to buy an iphone 4 or 4s in saudi arabia. can i use it in India with a different sim card? plz reply
Yep, but you won't have any warranty or support for this phone in India, nor will you have FaceTime. FaceTime has been permanently removed from all iPhones purchased from official sources in Saudi Arabia.

Hi...I buy iphone5 from Saudi Arabia but I don't have facetime ...now I m shifting to India ..will it work in India or not if I insert a Indian SIM card in my iPhone will it work or not.. Plz help
"India" is a country. Not a cellular carrier.
There are 2 supported carriers in India. Aircel and Aritel. See this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
If you have a legitimately unlocked iPhone, it will work with a properly provisioned SIM from either Aircel or Airtel.
It may work with other carriers in India, but not all features may work as expected. -
I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?
If officially unlocked, you can purchase a sim from one of the two nationwide GSM carriers, AT&T or T-Mobile. However, AFAIK, none of the carriers in India offer unlocking for the iPhone. Thus, if your phone is carrier locked, the only way it will work in the US is roaming...that would cost a fortune.
So, if you have a carrier locked iPhone, leave it home or sell it before you come to the US, then purchase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, when you get to the US. You'll be able to use that phone in India when you go back. -

<Personal Information Edited by Host>You can't. The warranty on the iPhone has NEVER been international. You will need to bring the phone to Thailand (or send it to someone you know there to bring it to Apple) for servicing.

Bought a song from iTunes, now can't use Complete My Album
I purchased "Foreplay/Long Time" from Boston's first album. Now I'm interested in purchase the full album, but in Complete My Album it doesn't appear. What gives?
Unfortunately, this form does not have a category for my problem.
Indeed. : - (
As you can see, this Apple Support page refers to that form for more information about the Complete My Album feature.
You might want to try selecting a category/sub-category such as Purchase(s)-problem/This item is mislabelled which is somewhat related (emphasis on somewhat) and then filling out the Ask your question here section with the particular details of your concern. -

dears,
I have a problem with iPhone is that I can replace it at points of sale in the U.S. because I bought from Saudi Arabia because the problem I think in the hard ware I do resoftware more than 3 times did not fix.
Network also always missing.
I am living in KS Wichita. I hope you help me pleas.
Regards.iPhone warranty is not international. You will have to return your
iPhone to Saudi Arabia for repair/replacement. Either take it back
yourself or send to friend/relative for them to take to Apple. Apple
will not accept international shipments for repair nor will Apple
ship repaired/replaced iPhones out of the country where the repair
was done. -

The Device you have, because of where it was Purchased will never be able to have FaceTime.
All you can do is sell it and buy a Device from a non restrictive country.

i purchase iphone from saudi arabia (mobily telecom), can i use this mobile in pakistan and other custires. and how i know this phone is carrier unlocked..
It will be locked to mobily telecom, and according to Apple's list of supported carriers and their features (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937) they do not offer unlocking. Since only the carrier it is locked to can unlock it, you have bought a useless phone.

i have an iphone 5 , i restored it but now it stuck on the activation and required an icloud id and password to begin, but i dont know about id i purchased it from saudi arabia and now i am in pakistan. how can i activate this iphone 5????
please help!!!!!!!!!Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.
