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 purchased an unlocked iPhone 4S from US and returned to india,but now I can't activate the phone.

    I purchased an unlocked iPhone 4S from US and returned to india,but now I can't activate the phone. Called up the apple support team in India they said it is already unlocked from AT&T. What am I suppose to do ?
    Previously my iTunes was showing the phone and summary etc etc. The India Support center asked me to upgrade it to 5.1.1 then the new sim will be recognised, but now nothing is happening, even iTunes is not showing the Summary page.
    Please suggest?
    I never expected apple stuff to be like this.

    Got an (unlocked) iphone 4s from US
    As kb1951 states, unless this phone was purchased directly from Apple, it is not officially unlocked. In the US, only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones. The message you got generally means your phone was hacked to unlock it...jailbroken...Apple's servers have detected such & are preventing your phone from activating...there's nothing wrong with the activation servers.
    You'll need a sim card from the carrier your phone is locked to in order to activate it. If you don't know what carrier, you'll have to call AppleCare in the US to determine this info. Be aware, US carriers will not authorize official unlocking unless you are a customer that used the phone on their network. Thus, there is most likely no way for you to get this phone officially unlocked.
    Good luck.

  • Purchasing an unlock Iphone 4s from an aplle retail store

    Hello to everyone.  I am planning to purchasing an unlock iphone 4s from an apple retail store. I want to ask if they will open up the package box and the store will activate the phone for me or I'le just pick up the unit still sealed in the box and be the one to activate the phone by myself? I ask this question because as for my knowledge is concerned the process for purchasing an iphone 4s with a contract from a carrier like at&t is different like they are ones who will opened up the package in the store and they activate the phone for you before you pick it up. I dont know if this process is also done for the unlocked iphone 4s that will be purchased at an apple retail store.  Or maybe I can ask the apple retail store, that I will pick up the phone in sealed box and will be the one who will activate it. I just want my purchase to be still in sealed box from the store. Thanks for any help.

    They will normally activate it in store as their systems will register the phone.
    When buying Sim Free unlocked here in the UK, it stays sealed til you get home, or they will help you activate in store.  I guess asking in your local store first will be the best course of action.

  • Will a factory unlocked iphone 4s from the apple retail store come with a simcard.

    Will a factory unlocked iphone 4s from the apple retail store come with a simcard.Furthermore will my new phone need to be activated in store or can i do it myself

    No. You'll need to get a SIM from your carrier. Since you won't have a SIM, there will be no way to activate the iPhone at the store, so you'll have to do it yourself.
    Regards.

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

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

    Maybe. It all depends on how many people are in line ahead of you.

    When you go to order online, it wil tell you the expected delivery date.
    We are all just your fellow users. Just like you, all we can do is make a good guess.
    Best of luck.

  • I want to buy unlocked iPhone 5 from the Canada Apple store,do they sell the unlocked iPhone 5 model A1429CDMA?

    Does the Canada Apple store sell the unlocked iPhone 5 model A1429CDMA?

    Canada sells unlocked iPhone 5's.  Why not check this out for yourself by going to the Apple store website and then changing the country to Canada?
    You can't purchase it from the store online though - you'll have to travel directly to Canada yourself to buy it because there is no international shipping available.

    Although I agree pretty much with what you say, since there is no unlocked phone yet announced, we don't know which of the three models Apple may make available unlocked.

  • 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 unlocked iphone 4 from the us apple website and use it in ireland?

    I want to buy a white iphone 4 but it is SO much cheaper to buy it off the apple US website than it is to buy it in Ireland. The difference is about $260 dollars(200 euro) I am just wondering if I buy it on the US website will I be able to use my iphone in Ireland as if i'd bought it here? I can get a micro-sim from my network as they are a GSM carrier. I'm just wondering will it definitely work for me in Ireland?

    If it's GSM then yes..

  • Hi. i'm from italy. i am intersted on buying the "unlocked" iphone 4 from the online apple store in the USA.. asking my relatives to buy it for me and get it shipped here in Italy.

    my question is..is it possible to do so??
    will the iphone be usable under Italy's network coverage??

    if you have 5.0.1 installed, the WIND network will not work... I also have this problem... so im waiting some actions or from apple (new update, which will fix this issue) or from WIND (i hope they can fix it too, setting up the network in some way)

  • Hello, if i bye an unlocked iphone 5 from UK or USA will it work in Bulgaria with Bulgarian operator

    hello, if i bye an unlocked iphone 5 from UK or USA will it work in Bulgaria

    If you live in Bulgaria, don't purchase an unlocked iPhone 5 from the USA, because you can't purchase them there anyway at the moment.
    From Bulgaria it is better to buy it in the UK where they do sell fully unlocked iPhone 5's and yes, it will work.  The only problems you may have are with the LTE 4G as frequencies differ from country to country and in the UK, the first 4G network is only just being introduced at the end of October by EE, which is a collaboration between Orange and T-Mobile.
    If you want an iPhone 5, then buy it in the UK and not the US.
