How can i buy iphone from USA if i am from romania?

How can i buy iPhone from USA if i am from Romania?
Can you tell me it is possible? and what taxes i have to pay and the iPhone price.

The $199 price is for an iPhone with a service plan with AT&T, Verizon or Sprint - that is the subsidized price with a valid cellular service plan.
Those phones will be LOCKED to the carrier who's service plan you subscribe to - they WILL NOT work outside of the USA nor on any carrier other than the one chosen at the time of ordering.
You would want one of the unlocked GSM phones (16Gb=$649 USD, 32Gb=$749 and 64Gb=$849)
You cannot order from the web store unless you have a USA credit card with a USA billing AND shipping address (the web stores ONLY ship to their own country, not to other countries). So as already mentioned, you would have to come to the USA and buy an UNLOCKED iPhone at an Apple store.

My new Dell PC running Windows 8 does not recognize my iPad or iPhone. Worked OK for iPhone for months but would not work for new iPad. I removed /relaoded iTunes and now it won't recognize either iPad or iPhone.

If you have a problem with it, there is nothing that can be done until you return to the US. The warranty on an iPhone is only valid in the country in which it was sold. Apple will not provide service, replacement or support in another country.

Can i buy an iPhone from USA online and use it in Europe?

Can i buy an iPhone from USA online and use it in Europe?

If you use a credit card from a financial institution in the US,
with a verified billing address in the US, and ship the order to
the US. Warranty will be valid only in the US and LTE will not
work in EU. The low prices you see for some iPhones are
because the iPhone requires a 2 year contract with a wireless
carrier in the US. Prices for unlocked (useable with any carrier)
iPhone 5 are $649 for 16 GB, $747 for 32 GB, and $849 for 64 GB
+ applicable taxes which will vary with shipping destination within
the US. Still interested?

Buying iPhone 5 in the US and bringing to Europe: success.

Hi,
In case any of you is wondering about iPhone 5 models and whether they work in Europe if bought in the US, I would like to share my successful experience:
You can buy a Verizon unlocked phone in an Apple Store in the US. Be prepared for the Apple Store person to be a little confused and ignore the "but that is not GSM" or "CDMA does not work in Europe".
Check and make sure that it is model A1429. Further check that it is a Verizon model [1]. This can be done by parsing one of the ends of the box with all the barcodes without having to open the plastic.
Not sure this makes a difference, but I replaced the stock Verizon SIM with my European SIM before activating in iTunes. <- Is this really needed?
The phone works with my European SIM in the US, UK, FR, and CH.
3G works without a hitch and the rates are much better than in the iPhone 3G.
Enjoy a >10% discount on a fully unlocked phone.
I have not yet tested LTE. From the table at http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ the Verizon A1429 model supports a superset of the bands supported by the European A1429 model.
Feedback on point 3 and your experiences with LTE are welcome!
[1] Verizon 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB models in black are MD654LL/A, MD658LL/A, and MD664LL/A. The white 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB models are MD655LL/A, MD659LL/A, and MD665LL/A.

Hi!
I live in Norway and bought the Verizon iphone 5 (model a1429 written on back of the phone) and had to do specific things to get it working properly on LTE. (I am using the phone with a simcard from Norwegian carrier Telenor )
Step 1: Connect it to itunes via my laptop in order for the operator network settings to be updated (happened automatically).
After completing this task, I went to check Settings/General/Cellular on the iphone (For Norwegians: Innstillinger/Generelt/Mobilnett), and now (after updating operator network settings) I was able to enable LTE with the on/off button (prior to updating operator network settings I was not able to see any LTE button at all).
Nevertheless, my phone did not shift to LTE when I knew I was standing next to a LTE base station after completing STEP 1. It still only displayed 3G at the top of the screen.
Then I decided to do one more thing:
2. I restored ( For Norwegians: Gjenopprette iphone) the iphone while connected to itunes (after backing it up offcourse).
Finally, after this the iphone started to connect to LTE. I do not know why one has to RESTORE the iphone before it starts to connect to LTE, but it worked.
So for anyone who does what I did (bought an iphone 5 in the US for use in Europe primarily). Most likely you will have to buy the iphone 5 for Verizon (a1429 cdma version) without a plan. Since the verizon cdma version covers all frequencies that are used in Norway, it will also work on LTE in Norway with a Norwegian operator sim card. You just have to update network operator settings and RESTORE the iphone afterwards as explained above....
(http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ as the table in this link shows, if you are buying an iphone 5 in the US and going to use it in Europe with a European sim card, there is only one possibility, which is to buy the a1429 cdma version.

No. Return it and get your money back if still within the 30 day return window. All US iPhones are carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked.

Buy Iphone in USA and use it in Europe

Hello,
I would like to know if I buy an Iphone in USA, If we can use it in Europe, with another carrier and network?
I will soon go to the states and I would like to make a gift to my sister.
Thanks in advance for your answers :-)

So the US Apple store appears to operate differently from the UK store (where I've just bought 2 new iPhones unlocked and taken SIM only contracts with 2 different service providers). I'm sorry if I've caused any confusion.
To be clear, you need to find somewhere you can get an unlocked phone to be able to bring it back to Europe and use it.

If i bought an iphone in the us would it work in the uk?!?

I'm traveling to the usa in June, if I bought an iphone 5 would it work when I bought it back to the UK (where I live) and would it Stoll be covered if anything went wrong, could I send it back to apple from the UK and things??

Buying iPhone 5 USA

Hi
i am going to USA in the new year if i bought a iPhone 5 will it work in the UK.
Cheers

Everything Everywhere (owners of Orange & T-Mobile) are currently trialling a 4G LTE network in Cornwall, but they haven't stated how long it will take to roll out to the rest of the UK.
They do have, according to their website, over 98% 3G coverage in the UK. So if you want to use an unlocked iPhone 5 from the US in the UK you will be fine, but like Peter Gillespie has said, Apple US aren't selling unlocked iPhone 5 yet.
Apple UK are (online only) and the starting price is £529 for the 16GB model.
As for coming through Customs in the UK you won't pay any tax if the phone is just in your pocket and being used. If you had it in your hold luggage still in its wrapping you would expect to pay VAT (no import duties on mobile phones here in the UK)

Buy iphone 5 USA made n use in Malaysia

hye...i'm interested to buy an iphone 5 thru online shipping..according to US price...but i need to use it at my country Malaysia....is it possible to me to use the iphone from US made and use it in Malaysia?

If you want a US iPhone, you'll have to fly to the US to purchase it, as Apple does not ship out of the country & will only ship to a verified billing address located in the country whose online store you are trying to use.
Will it work? If officially unlocked...only sold by Apple in the US...yes. Be prepared to fly back to the US for all warranty/support issues, as your won't get any support for a US iPhone in Malaysia.

If I buy iPHONE in USA now, would it work in Europe?
