As Ethmoid says, it is still a CDMA phone as I told you earlier, and it will not work with t-mobile. Even if Sprint unlocked the phone, it would only unlock the GSM side for international use. They will not unlock the GSM side for domestic use in the US.

    Because an iPhone warranty is only good in the country of purchase. You will have to take it back to the USA or send it to someone there to have them take it to an Apple store.

  • Apple care is useless in India. I bought an iPhone 5 from a Maple store in June 2013.  Also got convinced at the store and purchased an additional Insurance worth Rs 1000 at the same time. The iPhone 5 has a very poor battery life. Needed to be charged at

    Apple care has been of absolutely no help to me. My 10 month old iPhone 5 stopped charging one fine day and Apple denies any responsibility for  the same. Between my Family of 4, we Re currently using 5 Apple devices. Am so disappointed with the service from Apple. Although my cell phone is well within the warranty period , I have been denied a replacement. And the Shield Insurance that I purchased is now declining the insurance amount even. They insist I prove that it is an accidental damage. And Apple refuses to cover what they choose to call a 'physical damage'. So where does that leave me ?!

    I cannot see the damage. But the screening centre has pics showing it is damaged. Apple refuses to cover a physical damage. But the reason the device is damaged could only be coz it had a poor battery life from start. The iPhone 5 is infamous for the same. We all know it. Apple conveniently denies responsibility.
    And the Insurance company says it covers only accidental damage. Now how am I to prove an 'accidental' damage ? Unless I lie to them....

  • I've bought a iphone 5c from USA but the headset is not working properly its still in warranty,can i go for replacement of headset??

    I've bought a iphone 5c from USA but the headset is not working properly its still in warranty,can i go for replacement of headset??

    Since it is only the headset that is the problem and not the iPhone it would be better to just buy a new set and not let yourself be frustrated over it.  If you send anything to your sister before the one-year warranty is over, include the headset so she can exchange it at an Apple store.

  • I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s from USA and travel back to my counry but won't work in my country

    Well, there is nothing anyone here can do for you. Did you actually purchase it at an Apple Store, or at another retailer like BestBuy, HH Gregg, a mall kiosk, T-Mobile, AT&T, etc?
    The ONLY source for unlocked iPhones in the US is Apple. If you purchased it anywhere other than at an Apple Store, you purchased a locked phone.
    You can call AppleCare and give them the serial number of the phone to confirm the status of the lock.

  • I bought a iPhone 4 from USA in $749. As I did not take a data plan, still the phone is locked, now when apple is selling unlocked phone and I have paid the dull amount, will they unlock my phone

    I bought a iPhone 4 from USA in $749. i did not take a data plan, still the phone is locked, now when apple is selling unlocked phone and I have paid the full  amount, will they unlock my phone

    AT&T has not as of yet announced any plans to unlock an iPhone that was purchased as locked to them. Whether or not they will do so in the future, only AT&T would know, and they probably will not say unless and until they're ready to make an official announcement.  There is nothing Apple can do for you in this matter unless you are still within the timeframe for returning the iPhone.
    Regards.

    I bought an iphone 5s from usa, how can i use it in turkey?

    If you purchased an unlocked iPhone, sold in the US only by Apple themselves directly, contact your carrier and ask if they support iPhones and if so just sign up. If you purchased a locked iPhone, which you would get if you purchased from anyone other than Apple, then you would have to contact the cell carrier to whom the phone is locked and ask if they would unlock the iPhone.
    Regards.

  • I bought a iphone 4 from a guy on craigslist, I knew about ios 7.0 having the lock thing, but when I met him, his simcard was in the phone, I tested the phone with his simcard in from of him. The phone looked great with no problems and I even got the box

    I bought a iphone 4 from a guy on craigslist, I knew about ios 7.0 having the lock thing, but when I met him, his simcard was in the phone, I tested the phone with his simcard in from of him. The phone looked great with no problems and I even got the box with the accesories, so I knew it was his... I then did the reset on the phone (erase all data... from settings) and it went through and activated and everything was good... I used the phone for about a month with no problems at all, even had my apple ID in the icloud and everything... well ios 7.0.6 came out and I used my computer to restore the phone, because I feel that the cord and computer gives it a better restore, it did great no problems, and when it went to the part where I went to activate the phone, I get a enter your apple id and password to complete activation... Wait... why is this up i thought, I thought I did everything like I suppose to to succesfully switch it to me, the new owner... but now its asking for some C******@yahoo.com.... I only have @gmail.com emails and none start with a C... The guy sold me the phone because he was switching to Verizon, and I tried to call him, and now the number is disconnected... I guess he switched to Verizon with a new number... Now im stuck with a paperweight that costed me $200.00... What can I do at this point... Please help me... I restored it to give it to my Step Son as I just got me the iphone 5... Thank you for ANY HELP in advance... Thank you again.

  • Can i by iphone 5c from usa and use it in Belgium

    can i by iphone 5c from usa and use it in Belgium???

    Planning on coming to the US to do so? Factored in import duties? Aware that your warranty/support will only be valid in the US? Aware that the US phone most likely won't support LTE where you live?
    Not a good idea, but the phone will work.

  • I want to buy Iphone 4S or Iphone 5 from USA and ship it to South Africa, will i have carrier problems?

    I want to buy Iphone 4S or Iphone 5 from USA and ship it to South Africa, will i have carrier problems?

    If you buy a phone from Apple online from USA you must have a credit card with a US address and have it shipped to that same address. If you chose a carrier it will be locked to that carrier. You must buy an UNLOCKED phone to use outside of the US, for the unsubsidized price. For unlocked phones you don't need to choose a carrier. the iPhone 5 is not yet available unlocked; only the 4S is sold as unlocked by Apple.
    If you buy from the US Apple site you must return it to the US for warranty service.
    LTE is the "next generation" cellular network standard. It is supported in the US by Verizon and AT&T. 

  • Can I purchase the iphone 4S from USA and use it in India?

    Can I purchase the iphone 4S from USA and use it in India? And will I able to get the international Warranty?

    I heard from friends the best phone reception in India is Nokia or Sony...because the call centres for both companies have call centres in India and they said the best receptions from cellphones/networks is via Nokia or Sony.
    I fully support Apple I have many products but if you spend so much money on an iPhone 4S that didn't work out; why not spend time goggling India's network provider/carrier and do some research?!?
    Or email Apple support with all your questions, details, informations and maybe thay can help you out more.  It was me, the best answer is to Spend the time on research before making a purchase.
    Good luck.

    There are way too many posts on this forum from people who buy used iPhones on eBay and who then have problems. I would second wjosten's suggestion to return the phone, get a refund and buy a phone from an authorized dealer.

  • Can I use iPhone 5S 32 GB contract free t mobile at Turkey if I will buy from America ?

    Can I use iPhone 5S 32 GB contract free t mobile(749$) at Turkey if I will buy from America ?

    Yes.
    But, your warranty/support will only be valid in the US, & the phone will not support LTE where you intend to use it. Make sure you only purchase from Apple, no where else. Only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones in the US, & the T-Mobile labeled iPhone is officially unlocked if putchased from Apple.
