I have two questions. Are unlocked iPhone 5 available in apple stores in US? Can i use a factory unlocked iPhone 5 (GSM) anywhere outside united states?

I have two questions. Are unlocked iphone 5 now available in Appple Stores in US? Can i use a factory unlocked iphone 5 (GSM) anywhere outside the United States?

The Apple (Republic of Ireland) online store has the unlocked Iphones 4, 4S and 5 for sale. They are dear but worth it. I ordered the unlocked I phone 5 last week. That said, retail Apple Stores do and will not carry the Iphone line instore. They do however sell some accessories for all Iphones but thats as far as the Irish retail stores go.
Its obvious to me that the Apple sales strategy for the US is different to the Irish one, so your retail stores may carry the unlocked versions at some point in the future.
Sorry I could not be of more help..

  • I bought an iphone 5 from apple store in USA, can i use it overseas?

    i bought an iphone 5 from apple store in USA, can i use it overseas, eg, China,?

    Yes, but you will be using it in China with the international roaming feature.
    There are no unlocked iPhone 5's being sold in the US at present so you can't use it with a local nano sim card. There will also be LTE frequency compatibility issues too.

    Hello, I have two iphones but one Apple ID. How can I use localization apps for a dedicated device? Tx

    On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.

  • Can i use/ activate factory unlocked iPhone 5S in india without SIM

    Hello,
    I am planning to buy iPhone 5S. I am a blackberry 9900 users
    Can i use/ activate factory unlocked iPhone 5S in india without SIM (Purchasing in India).
    I need time some time to transfer data from BlackBerry to iPhone 5S.
    Thanks.

    Yes. it's Factory unlocked iPhone 5S gold.
    Problem is...
    i have one sim (big for for BB9900). And iPhone 5S uses smaller...
    Vodafone India will give me free nano sim, i will take 4-5 hours to work that SIM....
    My biggest concern is Address Book (Phone book), Password Keeper (password manager), Task Jot (GTD app)
    I need to manually enter all this data in iPhone 5S, there is no standard converter or transfer tool...
    existing ones freak out and miss lot of data....
    i will first enter all data and get a nano sim. this will take more than 2 weeks...
    so i thought if iPhone 5S can be switched on then i can enter data in free time.

  • What site can I use to factory unlock an iPhone?

    What website can I use to pay for iPhone unlocking services? I need a secure, affordable and efficient one. I have an iPhone from Verizon and I want to factory unlock it. Please help me out here.

    The Verizon 4S is a CDMA and GSM dual band phone.  My experience with Verizon is that they will open the GSM module for international travel, but only through their service (in conjunction of partners in Europe, etc.).  It's expensive.  My wife found out when she went to Egypt last year. 
    Verizon does unlock iPhones for international use. However, what you're describing is activating international roaming, (which has more to do with your account than your hardware.)  Yes, that's expensive. If you get the phone unlocked, you can get a SIM from another country and it will be much cheaper.

  • HT4061 Can I use and factory unlocked iphone 4s with verizon

    I purchased a factory unlocked Iphone 4s and would like to use it with Verizon is this possible?

    Unlocked iphones are GSM network version. Verizon use CDMA network. You will only be able to use an unlocked phone with AT&T properly or T-Mobile with reduced functionality.

  • Are Camera  Adapters Available in Apple Stores?

    I went online to get the camera adapter kit. It is showing delivery in 2-3 weeks? I thought they were more caught up than that. Are they available in stores or am I stuck buying it online only?

    I picked one up from the Apple store in Naperville, IL. When I initially called, they said they have them but they are not currently on the sales floor and to ask a specialist to grab one from the back. When I got to the store, the specialist did't know about them so I asked if he could check in the back. He went and came back with one and commented how they must have just come in cuz he didnt know about them.
    Recommendation would be to ask specialist to check in the back stockroom as opposed to just checking the accessory wall.

  • We have two. IPod touch with the same Apple ID . How can each have a different profile name set up?

    My boys would like their own Game Center profile set up but they are both using my Apple ID. They are not yet 13. When I change the name on one ipod it automatically changes on the other. Please help!

    They need a unique Apple ID for Game Center. Set one up in your name an supervise its use
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • When will be able the iPhone 5's shipping to Colombia and anywhere outside United States?

    I mean, I want to buy the iPhone 5 contract-free, because here in Colombia any service provider sells it without a contract. So, what can I do?

    Make a trip to the US & you can purchase at any Apple store. Apple will not mail the phone outside of the US.

  • I bought iPhone in Czech Republic Apple store and I can't use a Canadian Carrier. What can I do?

    Hi.
    I bought brand new iPhone 5 n Czech Republic online Apple Store. I was there for Christmas break, because I am international student and I am studying in Canada. So I came back to Canada and I wanted to use new iPhone. The iPhone was still searching for a Carrier. No service. So they told me, that is a problem in my iPhone.
    So, what can I do? Is there any solution? I need the phone.
    Thanks in advance.
    David

    Perhaps you phone is locked. Did you try it with another SIM in CZ? Try taking the SIM out and putting in again. Maybe the Koodo SIM is damaged.

  • Updated iphone 4S with   7.0.2 now can't use car buttons with iphone

    I bought a new camry 2013 a month ago and before this new os (one before last) I could use the car buttons in my car to  i.e. scroll forward music, find playlist etc.  now with this  os version I can't even forward past one song in a playlist.  I can only go to the lisitngs on my phine i.e. music types etc playlists, but can't say skip if i am u sing itunes radio can't forward past one song like i used to. 
    I have re-paired the phone to the car and can't find away around this. 
    can anyone tell me how to get past this i.e. a os patch or revert back to the last os 7 that worked before this ?
    Was so happy with my new car and iphone until I  downloaded this new 7 version .
    thanks for your help

    I have the same issue.  iOS7.0.2 on an iPhone 4S.  Different car though - VW Golf MK7, with their music system.  Before upgrading to iOS7.0.2, I was happily running iOS6 (not sure which vesion - maybe 6.1.3?) and having no issues.
    Is there any way to resolve this?  I have prepaired the bluetooth and I can make & take calls from the car.
    Thanks,

    I not Remember the questions for the confirmation of the Apple store and I can make purcheses

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)
