If I buy an unlocked iPhone in Canada will it work in the UK?

Hello,
     I'm going to Canada for a week in October. I was planning on buying an iPhone 5 for my daughter for christmas and noticed it was a lot cheaper in Canada so I was wondering if I bought an unlocked iPhone 5 in Canada could I put a o2 sim in it? And will it work in the UK?
Thanks

I am talking A1429 GSM which has bands 1,3,5
I assume this is not available in North America .( it is not )
Just found chart which identifies the models by geography
Another very good reason for not cross bordering
Thanks for the pointers

  • If i buy an iphone in Kuwait will it work in the UK?

    If I buy an iphone from Kuwait will it work in the UK please?

    If I buy from Zain or Viva - I think these are networks in Kuwait - would it still work in the UK pls?
    Yes, it should.
    What is a legitimate source - Apple Store, or authorised Apple resellers?
    There is no Apple Store in Kuwait (not one run by Apple themselves, in any case). Viva and Zain are the only authorized resellers of the iPhone in Kuwait.

  • If I set up iTunes Match in Canada will it work in the U.S.A?

    If I set up iTunes Match in Canada will it work in the USA?  Thanks.

    They are specific to each country, so no it won't work - Canadian gift cards can only be used in Canada with Canadian iTunes accounts.

  • If I buy a iPad 2 in USA, will it work in the UK? If so, does this apply to both the wi-fi

    It will work in the UK, though you will need a plug adapter for the charger (you don't need a convertor for the charger).
    If you get a 3G version then get the AT&T version as they use micro-sim cards, so you can swap in a UK micro-sim card. The Verizon iPad is CDMA based and doesn't use micro-sim cards, so from a built-in 3G point of view isn't much use in the UK (I'm not aware of any CDMA carriers in Europe).

  • Hey! when i buy an unlocked iphone from usa, dose it work in romania?

    hey! when i buy an unlocked iphone 5 from usa, dose it work in romania?

    You'd be better served by purchasing an officially unlocked iPhone 5 in one of the EU countries. Except for the EU, iPhone warranty/support is limited to the country of original purchase. Thus, you won't have any warranty or support, for a US iPhone, where you live. However, if you purchase an iPhone in any EU country, your warranty/support is EU wide. Further, US iPhone 5's do not support LTE in Europe, only the models sold in Europe support such. Given these two issues, doesn't it make more sense to purchase your phone in Europe?

  • Hi. If i buy an unlocked iphone from canada. Will i be able to use it in Mauritius Island on network Orange?

    Hi,
    I live in Mauritius Island. My brother wants to send me an unlocked iphone 5s from CANADA as a gift, but i am unsure if i wil be able to use it here. Can you help? We use Orange here.

    Not sure that they are selling unlocked phones in Canada.  Mostly, the Canadian phones are carrier locked and the Canadian carrier do not offer unlocking, with Bell being the main one.
    It might work, but this would only be on 3G because you have to remember the frequency differences and phones built in Canada were designed to work in Canada with the Canadian carriers/networks.
    Also be aware that warranty for the iPhone is not international, so if anything goes wrong with the phone and you need help, you'll have to physically go back to Canada or post the phone back to your brother in Canada, but not directly to Apple.

  • If I buy an unlocked iPhone5 in USA will it work in UK?

    I'm away to the States on business in October. Considering the exchange rate it would be considerably cheaper for me to buy an unlocked iPhone5 over there.
    However, I'm unsure whether it will work properly in the rest of the world? Does anyone know if the US spec will function properly in UK/Europe?
    Of course, there may not be an unlocked version available by then but if there was.....?
    Thanks

  • Officially unlocked iPhone from Canada in the US

    If buy a unlocked iPhone from Canada and want to use it in the states, can i still get warranty services and apple support in the states ?

    If you have to get a replacement phone for any reason, you will probably have to get it from Canada. The service replacements stocked at US Apple Stores are locked to AT&T.
    From the Apple iPhone 4 Warranty: "Apple may restrict service to the country where Apple or its
    Authorized Distributors originally sold the hardware product." http://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/iPhone4warranty.pdf

  • Where can I buy an unlocked iphone 3gs in Canada?

    I will go to the other countries in future for business so i wonder if I can buy an unlocked iphone which can be used by inserting SIM card directly since locked iphone can't be used in the other countries? Or can I get offical tech unlocking for my iphone so that it can work in the other countries? Thanks for reply.

    Officially unlocked iPhones are not sold in Canada. You could buy one in a country where they are sold unlocked, then use it in Canada with a Fido or Rogers SIM. The countries that sell them unlocked are listed here:
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
    It may not be easy to buy, though, as they may require a local address, or payment with a debit or credit card issued in their country. Also, the warrantee is valid only in the country of sale. Even if you do get an unlocked iPhone, it may be difficult to get a local SIM in some countries (such as Japan or Korea). Things are easier if you know a resident of the country who is willing to buy the phone or SIM for you.
    You can use a locked Canadian iPhone in other countries but they charge high roaming fees for voice, and exorbitant roaming fees for data. Data roaming can be disabled in "Settings" > "General" > "Network".
    Fido and Rogers have some international plans that will reduce roaming fees a bit. Check with them before you leave.

    Apple Online Store sells unlocked iPhone in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium (French, Dutch), Brazil, Canada (English, French), China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong (English, Chinese), Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland (French, German), Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and United States.
    You can probably be absolutely sure any other source will be carrier locked
    It also appears that only Zain offer unlocking (of all the ME carriers )  in Jordan and Bahrain
    A ME iPhone 5  ( A1429 GSM )will not  work on US LTE when you return
