    You can buy a factory unlocked on direct from Apple sim free, make sure you get the right one and not just a contract free one.  I am sure  one of our US members will be able to give you the price.

  • Is it possible to buy an iPhone in the USA and use a brazilian chip?

    Hi guys,
    I want to know if I buy an iPhone in the USA I can just put the brazilian chip (a chip from a brazilian telecommunications company) and it will work. Could somebody help me, please?
    Thanks.
    P.s.: Hope you understand, my english is not the best one hahaha.

    No. All iPhones sold in the US are carrier-locked to AT&T and cannot be used with other carriers' SIM cards.

    You would probably want to look at a factory unlocked iPhone so you do not have to use a contract with a US carrier.  And look at the network standards being used, in the US iPhones are CDMA (verizon and Sprint) and GSM (AT&T).  What are the carriers in Canada using?  If majority, or the carrier in your location are GSM then you should look at the GSM iPhone.  Also check warranty and applicability in Canada...iPhone warranties are supposed to be valid only in the country of purchase.
    AppleCare+ is available in the US and Canada but, again, be sure you can transfer the coverage to Canada.

  • If I buy an iPad2 in the USA can I still use it in the UK?

    If I buy an iPad2 in the USA can I still use it in the UK? Thank you

    Yes, but you will need the wall charger adapter for UK as the USA has two prong and not three.

  • If i buy a iphone in the usa, would i have to pay tax in the uk airport?

    i'm going to new york within the next 2 months and i really want to buy an iPhone. but, i have the issue of not knowing whether i'd have to pay tax when i return to the uk. i really need to know as i would most definitely love to buy an iphone in which i can't afford in the UK.

    Yes you'll have to pay, & if you don't declare it, & get caught...I'm sure you'll enjoy that experience. Not to mention, you'll be the proud owner of an iPhone that won't work or activate in the UK...that's because there are no officially unlocked iPhone 5's available in the US.
    Still sound like a good plan? If you can't afford one in the UK, think you can afford to go through all of the above with a US iPhone?

  • 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.

  • I want to buy an iPhone in the USA (4 or 5!)

    I want to know if it will happily work in the UK. I see that US Apple stores now sell unlocked iPhones like they do in the UK and with the current exchange rate it's a good deal.
    I'm concerned that the US phone may have different GSM specs than the UK phone?
    Will the US phone work exactly as the UK phone does?
    They are triband phones afterall but would different GSM specs have an effect on 3G capabilty?

    Actually, only partially correct. T-Mobile operates AWS 3G in the 1700 and 2100 MHz bands. The iPhone supports (from published specs):
    GSM model: Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
    (800 850 900 1800 1900 MHz)
    Quad-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA
    (800 850 900 1900 2100 MHz) (800 MHz not yet announced as supported by Apple)
    Thus, the iPhone operates in one of T-Mobile's bands (2100 MHz), so if it doesn't work it must be a protocol difference.

  • Why can't i buy iphone from the usa website?

    i've been trying to buy an iphone from the usa website as a gift to my sister who lives there... but it doesn't accept my postcode.. is it not possible to buy an iphone from uk?

    Nope. You need a verified billing/shipping address in the US to use the US store. Same reason someone from the US couldn't use the UK store.

  • If I buy an unlocked iphone from the usa, will it be compatable in the uk?

    I would like to buy an Iphone from the USA but am concerned that I will not be able to use it in the UK. Can anyone confirm if this is possible and if there is anything I will need to do?

    The officially unlocked GSM version will work fine. But why on earth do you want to do this? The iPhone warranty is not a true international warranty, thus you most likely won't have any warranty & support in the UK for a US purchased iPhone. Not to mention you can purchase officially unlocked iPhones in the UK. Your money, do what you want.

  • Can you service a factory unlocked iphone in the USA?

    Can i service a factory unlocked Iphone in the USA? I just serviced it in canada, and it came back unlocked, but the home button is hard to use (its a refurb). i travel between canada and usa and now i would like to service it here in the US.

    I wouldn't even take a chance at getting it serviced in the US.
    If you did happen to find a store willing to service it under warranty, they would most likely replace the device. That means you would end up with a US iPhone locked to AT&T.
    Do you really want to run that risk?
    Take the device to the country of origin and have it serviced there.

  • Hi, I just wanted to buy two iphones from the apple store usa with a lebanese credit card. Is it possible?

    Hi, I just wanted to buy two iphones from the apple store usa with a lebanese credit card. Is it possible?

    The US Apple Store accepts US-issued credit cards only. And they will ship only to a US address. Whether or not a physical Apple Store would accept a Lebanese credit card I don't know.
    Regards.

    I have heard stories that Apple will not even look at an iPhone purchased
    in another country at any price since they will not be able to replace with an
    identical iPhone which is their practice ( carrier locked etc)

    Besides setting the iTunes store to the US, you will also need
    a credit card issued in the US with billing address in the US;
    you also are supposed to be located in the US when using the
    US store, and there are periodic software checks to verify that.
    Simply changing the iTunes store to the US iTunes store will
    not allow you to make purchases/download free apps without
    meeting the other requirements. Do you meet them?
