If I buy the CDMA iPhone 5 unlocked, could I use it with GSM also?

I am planning to buy the new iPhone 5 unlocked, if I buy the CDMA model could I use it with a Nano Sim card in a GSM network, regardless of the LTE compatibilty?

There is no such thing as an unlocked CDMA device.
There are also no unlocked iPhones currently available, unless I've completely missed that announcement.

  • Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use like a ipod since i do not want to activate it yet?

    Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use it as a ipod since i do not wish to activate it yet?

    The phone needs to be activated first with a sim in it.  It doesn't need to be an active sim.  Read this
    USING AN IPHONE AS AN IPOD
    Restore your phone as new.  Place a SIM card into the phone and connect it your computer with iTunes open and follow the activation assistant to activate the iphone.  Once the iphone have been activated remove the SIM card and turn on imessage in settings/messages.  Only your Apple ID should appear in the “You can be reached by imessage at” and “Start new conversation from” fields.  Read the following article for help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406

  • Im from Spain, but If Im in US and I buy the new Iphone 5, I dont know If later I could use it in Spain?

    Im from Spain, but If Im in US and I buy the new Iphone 5, I dont know If later I could use it normally in Spain?
    There are some problems now? Or forever?
    Thanks

    Currently, the iPhones available in the U.S. are locked to american carriers so they cannot be used with other carriers anywhere else.
    An Unlocked version of the iPhone should be released some time soon, though no actual date has been given yet.
    The Unlocked phone should let you use a sim from any carrier in the phone and have it work.
    However, it is up to the cell carriers in Spain wether or not they have Nano sims for sale to be used with an iPhone 5.  If they do you may be able to purchase an unlocked Phone and use a sim card from a carrier in spain.
    Talk to your carrier first to make sure they have Nano sims available for purchase.

  • Will I be able to keep my current data plan when I buy the new iPhone 5.

    Will I be able to keep my current data plan when I buy the new iPhone 5.

    Sprint, definite yes (but moot because 3GS is not a CDMA phone)
    Verizon, if you buy at full price $600
    At&t, yes but there may be a caveat
    Outside the USA, I don't know, we need to know your current Tariffe/plan to help.
    Contact your carrier to negotiate any loose ends.

  • As I heard, If i get an unlocked iphone 5s, I can use it with my Wind Mobile which i have to have a $40 monthly plan for it. So, I want to buy an Iphone 5s that I can use it here with Wind Mobile and in turkey with my turkish line tht supoprts Iphone.

    As I heard, If i get an unlocked iphone 5s, I can use it with my Wind Mobile which i have to have a $40 monthly plan for it. So, I want to buy an Iphone 5s that I can use it here with Wind Mobile and in turkey with my turkish line that supports Iphone. So, is it possible that I can purchase an Iphone 5s that will be usable within Canada and Turkey? Im asking because, In Turkey, you need to register the Imei of the phone on your Passport to use it. Also, if i buy an unlocked Iphone 5s, will I be down to use it anywhere with any line?

    I dont know if you know the procedure in Canada and Turkey. Wind mobile wasnt supporting Iphones until they decided to let people use Iphone 5s with their $40 plan.And as i know, Turkey is the only country that asks you to register the imei on your passport to use it. So, most of people did not know it. so procedures are changing country by country. Are you sure that If I buy an Iphone 5s from a canadian apple store, use it with my wind mobile line and the turkish line in Turkey?

    Sorry if this seems negative but you really should post such a question in the iPhone section of Apple Communities.   You are much more likely to get expert help there immediately.
    Just re-post with the same detail.

    Hi ChrisJ4203,
    I see you didn't comment on editing the numbers in the keypad, I believe you have that problem too but you forgot to click "I have this question too".
    By the way I've sent a couple feedback messages to Apple already and thanks for reminding me, I guess I'll have to be doing that more often.
    Enjoy your day

  • Why can't I buy the new Iphone?

    Is anyone as ****** off as me that I cannot buy the new Iphone without paying $499? I purchased the first phone for $700, the second phone for $500 all on the day they came out. Now Apple will let anyone who didn't buy it before get it for $299 but I gotta pay $200 extra or wait till December. Way to **** off your core group. I plan on buying a new phone every year but if I have to wait till December I might as well wait till next June and get a phone that has 64Gigs of memory. Effectively this policy stinks and I'll spend less on apple products as a result. If anyone knows how to get a message through to the idiots who came out with this brilliant marketing strategy let me know.

    The first generation iPhone was not subsidized by AT&T in the traditional way. The 8GB first generation iPhone retailed for $599 when first released, not $699, and Apple provided everyone who paid that price a $100 credit.
    The iPhone 3G was/is subsidized by AT&T. Since the first generation iPhone was not subsidized by AT&T in the traditional way, all subscribers who purchased and activated a first generation iPhone qualified for AT&T's upgrade or fully subsidized price for the iPhone 3G when first released, or anytime thereafter. There may have been an exception such as someone purchasing another phone at AT&T's subsidized price within a month before the first generation iPhone was released and keeping the phone.
    This same applies to every carrier in regards to subsidized phones. You must fulfill your contract requirement for an existing subsidized phone before you qualify for upgrade or fully subsidized pricing with a new phone. Was the first generation iPhone your first cell phone and cellular service? If not, this should no be anything new.
    I was a Verizon subscriber for over 6 years before switching to AT&T before the iPhone was available. The entire time I was a Verizon subscriber, I didn't qualify for Verizon's upgrade or fully subsidized price with a new phone until the last 3 months of my 2 year contract for an existing subsidized phone. I got a new phone every 2 years basically, which is common. If I wanted a new phone every 12 months, I would have been required to pay the full retail sales price for the phone I wanted, or at a higher price that was not fully subsidized by Verizon.

  • HT201328 Can I unlock an old, unused iPhone 3GS (to be used overseas with a local simcard) and upload on it data from a newer iPhone 4 on the same MacBook Pro?

    Can I unlock an old, unused iPhone 3GS (to be used overseas with a local simcard) and upload on it data from a newer iPhone 4 on the same MacBook Pro?

    I got approval to unlock my 3GS from AT&T and in the process of updating the operating system. I am now using a iPhone 4 on my computer. I just want to know the following:
    When I backup and restore the 3GS in order to unlock it, will it mess up my existing data backed up from my iPhone 4?
    Can I upload data from my newer iPhone 4 onto my 3GS?

  • Have to be an authorized user to buy the new iPhone 3G?

    Hello, I'm going to buy the new iPhone 3G tomorrow. I was reading online the requirements and things you must have when you go into the Apple Retail Store to buy the phone. It said you must be the primary AT&T account user.
    Somebody else in my family is the owner, and I'm a user. I asked an Apple customer service person, and she said as long as I can be an "Authorized" user, that other family member will not have to be with me when I buy the new phone.
    How do I become an AT&T authorized user on my account?
    Thank you.

    Thank you so much. The customer service person gave me a number, but it didn't work. Should I just call a general AT&T Customer Service phone number?
    Thanks.

  • Can I buy the new iPhone 5S in Germany and hold the warranty for in Belgium?

    I want to buy the new iPhone 5S in Germany. Is there a problem when I use the iPhone in Belgium? I heard there is always a worldwide limited warranty of 1 year. Is this correct?

    If I don't have problems, there is no problem. But if I have a problem with the iPhone, can I go to an official Apple store in Belgium so they can send it to any place for repair?
    Apple in Belgium will handle the iPhone in exactly the same way had you purchased the iPhone in Belgium
    as long as it comes from another EU country .Apple do not repair they exchange for a refurbished unit if a warranty issue or charge for an Out of Warranty exchange  unit if you have damaged or caused the issue through misuse
