I want to buy a factory unlocked phone from US! Will it work well in India without a voltage concertor

Will factory unlocked phone bought from US work in India without any voltage converters?

Yes but you will not get 4G/LTE in India and the warranty is no good in India.

  • Wanting to buy a factory unlocked phone, which provider to use?

    I've used a 3GS for the past two years in Japan and it will always be locked to Softbank. When I come back to the states this week (1/25/12) it will end up being just another iPod. (Baseband is still unlockable at this time.) To save me from this effing hassle again, I'm wanting to buy an iPhone direct from Apple so it will be fully unlocked. More than likely I won't be staying in the states so I'll need a phone that is unlocked for any country.
    For those of you who have bought a phone from Apple, which USA cellular provider did you end up using? Do they all work as long as they support GSM? What about the prepaid plans? If I bought a prepaid phone would the SIM card work in the iPhone after it has been cut to size?
    Thanks.

    The only officially unlocked iPhone, sold by Apple, is the GSM version. That leaves only two nationwide choices, for carriers, in the US: T-Mobile or AT&T. T-Mobile permits pre-paid plans, for the iPhone, on their network, AT&T does not. At&T will require a contract or post paid plan(month-to-month). If you use T-Mobile, some iPhone features will be unavailable: MMS, FaceTime, Visual Voicemail or data on their 3G network(not compatible with the iPhone). The reason being that T-Mobile is not an official iPhone carrier in the US. That leaves only AT&T, if you want 3G data and all iPhone features.
    No need to cut your sim, as both AT&T & T-Mobile provide micro sims.

  • Buying a factory unlocked iphone from US(Apple Store) to use in india.

    Hi one of my friend is bringing me an iphone 5s to India.. yayy
    it would be factory unlocked and will be purchased from apple store.
    my primary concerns are do i need to activate iphone via itunes(or is it ready to use).
    And do i need to have a backup file of an iphone(for first time activation) . Because this is my first iphone and i do not have an iphone backup file.
    But i do have an ipad. Will the ipad backup work to restore(for activation)
    Or is it that iphone is ready to use out of the box?

    Hi Kushalroxx
    You can use the device normally in India just bear in mind that if the device need a repair for any reason the phone can only be set up to repair in a US Apple Retail Store or Authorised Reseller.
    You can still contact Indian Apple Care line at (91) 1800 4250 744 for phone support, but setting up to repair require the phone to be serviced in the country of purchase.

  • I want to buy a factory unlocked iphone 4s from US ,will it work in india ?

    i want to buy a factory unlocked iphone 4s from US ,will it work in india

    Unlocked iPhone 4S's are not yet generally available at retail in the U.S. Currently, the only official way to get one is order from the US online Apple store. This will require a US credit card with a valid US billing/shipping address.

  • Hi, I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. Any solutions??

    Hi,
    I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. I have a 3G plan but most of the time it switches automatically to EDGE. Thats when i have to either switch Airplane mode - On/Off and then it acts normal. Any permanant solutions to fix this problem?

    Return the iPhone personally or via friend/relative/co-worker who is in
    the US. The warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase - the USA
    in this case. Apple will not accept international shipments for evaluation nor
    will Apple ship out of the country after repair/replacement.
    How did the iPhone from the US get to you in India? Reverse that process to
    get it back to the US so someone can take it into Apple.

  • If I buy a factory unlocked phone can I use any SIM card worldwide?

    If I buy a factory unlocked iPhone can it be used worldwide with any sim?

    Yes. Certain models of the iPhone work best in certain countries, but as long as you purchase a factory unlocked phone, you can use it with any carrier that has SIM cards.
    This article has a list of supported carriers for the iPhone. If you use the iPhone with an unsupported carrier, you will probably find that it does not work well and/or that some features don't work as expected.
    Also, factory unlocked phones are sold only through Apple stores. They are not available anywhere else.
    Additionally, the warranty for the phone is valid only in the country of purchase. It is not international.

  • Hi I bought a factory unlocked phone from Dubai but I'm using it in india. But it still doesn't have FaceTime option in settings . is there a way to get FaceTime on my phone without jail breaking .. Pla help guys

    Bought my iPhone 4 from Dubai even though it's a factory unlocked phone I don't have a FaceTime button in setting so I'm wondering is there anyway I can get the FaceTime with out jail breaking my device it's working on iOS 4.3.5 , I read so much about getting it after u jailbreak Ur phone u get FaceTime but can I get it with out jail breaking my device as I'm using it in india please reply guys

    iPhones purchased in the UAE do not have FaceTime installed and FaceTime will not appear regardless of where the phone is taken.
    Jailbreaking will void your warranty with Apple, may permanently render your phone unusuable, and will eliminate the possibility of getting help from Apple or its forums including this one.
    If you want FaceTime on an iPhone, sell that phone and purchase one from one of the authorized iPhone dealers in India.

    According to Apple's list (link above) you will probably want to pick up a Sprint or US Cellular model. HOWEVER, as I mentioned above I know that the Verizon iPhones come unlocked from the factory (assuming it will be the same for iPhone 6 and 6+). I DO NOT KNOW if the Sprint and US Cellular models come unlocked. But I am sure some quick internet research will lead you to the answer.
    I think your goal would be to get a Sprint or US Cellular version. Also I believe a law was just recently passed that allows someone to have a phone unlocked by the carrier no questions asked. So even if the Sprint and US Cellular iPhones are locked you can have them unlocked.

  • The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! Why is my interests being put last and Sprint, Verizon

    The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! I travel all over the world, and so that is why I need one like that. It is unfair to the consumer, and frankly turning away customers like myself willing to pay high dollar to Apple for their product, who can I speak with to complain about this, because I know their are factory unlocked iPhone 4S' sitting in a warehouse somewhere just waiting to be shipped, and I want one.  I know why, cause Apple signed contracts with each carrier so the carrier could increase their sales making customers sign 2 year contracts, I get it, I own my own business, but the delay of releasing factory unlocked ones is just not right and I should be able to buy one without having to buy it over in the UK where it is unlocked when it comes out right away, I should be able to buy it in my own country!  These business practices we practice in the US need to stop, their is a demand that needs to be met with consumers like myself who don't need subsidized iPhone's with 2 year contracts with carriers and don't mine paying full price for an unlocked one, it is unethical in a sense, forcing the customer to buy it with a carrier contract and NOT giving the customer the option to buy it full price and own it themselves, OR, making the consumer wait a month for that option to be available.  THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!  THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!!!
    Apple can contact me and I will proudly pay for one.  But making me wait a month for an unlocked one, puts AT&T, Sprint & Verizon's interests before mine, and that is not right, for it is MY money that keeps you guys in business, so my best interests should come first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I understand your frustration, but when any form of rationing is required you have to prioritise. The number of unlocked vs packaged phones will be quite small and the number of unlocked buyers wishing to upgrade immediately will be smaller still. Against this you have the corporations sharing $billions between them.
    It would, you're correct, have been fairer to release all at the same time, but fairer doesn't come into it: it's business.

  • Will an iphone 4 that was originally purchased from apple directly as a factory unlocked phone remain unlocked or will it have now locked to the network it was used on. I've been told by carphone warehouse that the iphone will lock to first sim used in it

    Will an iphone 4 that was originally purchased from apple directly as a factory unlocked phone remain unlocked or will it have now locked to the network it was used on. I've been told by carphone warehouse that the iphone will lock to first sim used in it (in this case Orange) and will need to be unlocked again. Just wanted the view of anybody who knows about this for sure. Thanks

    If you bought it directly from Apple as unlocked it should be unlocked for all networks. There are phones sold that WILL lock to the first carrier it is used with, but this does not apply to phones where the receipt says "unlocked".
    I have not had good experiences with Carphone Warehouse.
