If i bought an unlocked iphone 5s in the us would i be able to use it in portugal with a vodafone sim card?

i want to buy the iphone 5s and i just want to make sure i can use it in portugal with my vodafone sim card

The LTE/4G bands will be different, the warranty is only valid in the country of purchase (Apple will not accept shipment from outside the country) and by the time you pay the taxes and import duties it may end up costing the same as in Portugal.

  • If I purchase an unlocked iPhone 5 from the USA, would I be able to use the phone in Australia?

    If I purchase an unlocked iPhone 5 from the USA, would I be able to use the phone in Australia?

    Yes - unlocked means unlocked, but if there is a problem that requires an exchange under warranty, the warranty would be honored in the US only. You would need to return to the US for an exchange under warranty.

    I have an iPhone 4 (CDMA) that is unlocked, can I use this in Europe with a European SIM card?

    An iPhone 4 CDMA is CDMA only. It doesn't have any GSM circuitry and doesn't have a SIM slot. You can only use it on the network it was originally sold for.

  • If i buy a unlocked iphone 4 from the uk would it work if i give it to someone in india

    Yes. But if it ever needs service, it will have to be sent back to someone in the UK. The warranty is not international.

    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.

  • HT4061 i bought an unlocked iphone 4s in the UK, am now living in Thailand. cannot use phone on AIS simm card. any ideas please?

    iphone 4s bought from a friend in Uk. phone unlocked. unable to use phone in thailand, is there anything i have to do to get the phone working. have put a AIS sim card in the 4s, it comes up, activation failed, carrier not supported. do i try another sim card from a different carrier, how do i find what carriers are supported on this iphone? do i need to take the phone to a shop for unlocking to this carrier? any info would be very helpful. many thanks

    It seems as though the iPhone is not unlocked from the carrier. You need to contact the UK carrier the iPhone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock the iPhone as they are the only ones who can unlock it.

  • 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 brought my iphone in Thainland. Can I use it in Paris with a Paris sim card company?

    I brought my iphone in Thainland. I"ll be going to Paris, France, next week and I would love have a phone with internet capablility.
    Can I use my Iphone from Thialand in Paris with a Paris sim card company?

    See above From what I can see the Thai carriers lock their iPhones and do not unlock
    If it came from direct from Apple in Thailand  then it should be unlocked
    Borrow a sim from a different carrier to yours and see if it gives service

  • If I bought an unlocked iPhone 4S from the U.K. could I use it in South Korea?

    I from the U.K. andI want to get an Iphone 4S, but I am currently living in South Korea, and I wanted to confirm whether the iPhone 4S is compatible with the technology that the South Korean networks use. I understand that the unlocked Iphone 4S is a 'world phone', but this does not always mean that it be used in every single country.

    Yes, you can, but you will have to register it with the carrier first, it's actually quite painless.
    You can read up on the process here:  http://expatblog.kt.com/71
    They also have a twitter that answers questions in English:  @olleh_expats
    Hope that helps.

  • Can I buy an iPhone in a chinese Apple Store and use it in Canada with a canadian SIM card ?

    I want to know if I can buy an Iphone in another country like China and use it in different countries. If I buy it from an Apple Store without any contract and without a SIM card, what do I have to check to use it without having problems ? When I will be in Canada, can I simply put my canadian SIM card in my iPhone from China or I've to unlock something ? Thank you ! 

    I don't believe Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones in China, thus no. Even if they did, why would you want to purchase in China to begin with when you can purchase an officially unlocked iPhone in Canada?

  • If I buy the iPhone 5s in the US, will I be able to use it in Belgium?

    Hi,
    I'm currently living in the US, but my parents are moving to Belgium for their work so me too,
    if I by the iPhone 5s here in an Apple Store, will it work when I leave for Belgium and will I be able
    to use it there?
    thanks,
    Louis

    No.  Not unless the US has started to sell unlocked phones.

  • If I buy an unlocked iphone from apple in US will it work in uk when u get home with my tmobile sim?

    Anyone know

    Yes, but not with LTE network access if T-Mobile in the UK has LTE network access.
    In addition, the warranty if needed will be honored in the U.S. only. Any problem with the iPhone that cannot be resolved by any other means besides an exchange under warranty will require you returning to the U.S. with the iPhone for the exchange.

  • If I bought an Ipad 1 from the US would I be able to use it in the United Kingdom?

    If you buy an UNLOCKED new iPhone directly from an Apple store it will work in the UK, but on GSM only, not on 4G/LTE.

  • Can I buy an iphone in the USA and use it in the UK with an o2 sim card?

    I have just been re-issued an o2 pay monthly sim card as my phone was stolen. I'm going to NYC in September and was thinking of getting a iPhone in an apple store there. Will I be able to bring it home and use it in England with my o2 sim card? Or will I need to get it unlocked? Thank you

    Thank you so much. This makes a lot of my sense. As my phone was stolen too, it probably makes sense to buy it in the UK and keep the reciept as i'm claiming on insurance ... I thought I might save money by getting it in the US, but actually you're right, after all the hassle and then the problems afterwards, probably best just to stick to the home country! Thank you.

    You need to pay your mobile network provider for the calls, SMS and data you need to use your phone. This is an ongoing charge, usually paid monthly.
    This is nothing to do with Apple. Apple only provided the handset - not the mobile network you use it on.
