IPhone 5 model A1429, part MD105LL/A/

I am looking at buying a used iPhone 5 model A1429, part MD105LL/A.  Trying to find out if this is an original Apple Store unlocked phone that is GSM version?

From the part number, that appears to be a CDMA Cricket model of iPhone. Those are not unlocked and to the best of my knowledge Cricket will not unlock it. I'd therefore suggest avoiding that iPhone. In fact I'd suggest avoiding buying any used iPhone if you're looking for one that's unlocked unless you can buy from someone you know or the seller can provide you proof that it was either sold unlocked originally or was unlocked by the carrier. Most "unlocked" iPhones sold used are actually hacked, not unlocked officially.
Regards.

  • Why tata docomo cdma (india) sim is not working with my iPhone 5 A1429 Hong-Kong model?

    I have bought second hand iPhone 5 Hong kong model A1429 and it works with all gsm carriers can i use cdma sim in it?
    i have iOS 8.1 and i searched through internet and i found that A1429 model supports worldwide GSM and CDMA networks but actually it can not.

    That model iPhone should support LTE on Deutsche Telekom. What carrier are you trying to use it with?

  • Is it possible to replace an iphone 5 A1429 CDMA model in the UK?

    I bought my iphone 5 (A1429 CDMA) in the NYC apple store last November. As expected, I've managed to break my screen in under a year of having the phone.
    I live in Dubai and the cheapest screen replacement cost i found was around $200, so I thought I may as well replace the whole phone (at the out of warranty price of $229 / 180 pounds in the uk) as I am going to the UK in September.
    I understand that the UK apple store only carries the A1429 GSM model, which is fine for me as this model works in Dubai too.
    My question is will they replace it for me??

    As already provided:
    No. You will have to physically return this phone to the US for all warranty/support issues. You can mail it to a friend/relative in the US, & they can take it to an Apple store for you, but you can't mail it to Apple.
    Some Apple stores, in the US, have started replacing iPhone 5 screens, for I believe US $149.

  • Is the Iphone 5 model A1429 (CDMA) and model A1429 (GSM) the same phone?

    Apple is inconsistent on their information for the iphone 5. One the LTE info site (http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/) it lists three different models, specifically showing that there is both a GSM and CDMA version of Model A1429.
    However, on the iphone 5 shopping FAQs (http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone) it specifically says:
    Can I use an iPhone when traveling internationally? 
    iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S are both world phones, so you can use them almost anywhere. Whether you are a GSM or CDMA network customer, you can roam on GSM networks in 200 countries around the world. iPhone 4 for AT&T can also roam on other GSM networks around the world. iPhone 4 for Sprint will work in approximately 40 countries and iPhone 4 for Verizon Wireless will work in approximately 45 countries that use CDMA technology. Availability of LTE data on iPhone 5 varies in some countries and depends on carrier support for certain LTE radio frequencies. Contact your wireless carrier for more information regarding international roaming policies and rates.
    As you can read in the bolded type above, the CDMA version of the phone will be capable of using GSM networks. Does this mean, for example, that an iphone purchased in Australia (LTE band 3 with Telstra) will be usable in the US (Sprint and Verizon LTE bands).
    What I'm most interested in is using LTE in the US on an Australia purchased phone.

    Hmmm. I just ran GeekBench here in Sydney and it has identified my A1429 iPhone 5 as a CDMA version. Whatever, it is running fine on LTE on the Telstra network here.
    Is this just a glitch in GeekBench or is Apple really using the Verizon A1429 version interchangeably with the GSM-only A1429 as the world-phone?

  • I would like to know if iphone 5 GSM model A1429 unlocked is available in stores in the US in order to buy and use in Europe

    I would like to know if iphone 5 GSM model A1429 is unlocked and is available in stores in the US in order to buy and use in Europe. Please let me know.
    Thanks

    Not officially for sale in the US, at the present time, although Apple's flagship store on 5th Ave, in New York City, gets supplies from time-to-time. However, no GSM US model iPhone 5 will support LTE anywhere other than North America. It will not support LTE in Europe. If you want LTE support in Europe, you need to purchase your phone in Europe.

    Let me know , please if my iPhone 5 unlocked or no with model A1428 Part No MD644LL/A

    You can't tell the lock status just from the model number.  The same model can be sold locked or unlocked, or can be unlocked later.  If you Restore via iTunes unlocked phones will get a message confirming the unlock.

    That's fine, but it is not clear what you're asking when you post in English.
    Again, if your iPhone is locked to a carrier, only that carrier can unlock it. If you just purchased this iPhone from someone, ask that person the carrier to which the iPhone is locked.
    If that's not what you mean by "blocked", you will have to explain further.

    That's the only model iPhone 5, sold by Apple as officially unlocked, in Europe. Thus, if you order an officially unlocked iPhone 5, that's what you'll get.

  • IPhone Open Network Version Site Is Model A1429 or Model A1428 ?

    IPhone Open Network Version Site Is Model A1429 or Model A1428 ?

    The Verizon iPhone 5 is neither advertised, nor sold as an "unlocked" phone. The SIM slot is not locked down due to FCC requirements placed on Verizon in exchange for winning a spectrum auction. There are known issues when trying to use the Verizon iPhone 5 on a number of foreign networks.

  • Can I buy an unlocked iphone 5 A1429 in Canada?

    I'm going to buy an iphone 5 in canada but I need to use it in Europe also, so can I buy an iphone 5 A1429 that works in europe and also in canada? Thank you.

    The only officially unlocked iPhone 5 model, sold in Canada by Apple, is the A1428 GSM model. So, the answer to your question is no.
    If you're looking for LTE support in Europe, no officially unlocked iPhone models, sold in North America, support LTE in Europe.

  • Can I use an unlocked Sprint iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA) on EE's 4G LTE network?

    I want to use my unlocked Sprint iPhone 5 (model# A1429 CDMA) when I travel in the UK. The only 4G LTE carrier is EE.
    They recommend you use an unlocked iPhone 5 (model# A1429 GSM), but I don't wish to purchase a new phone for such a short duration.
    So can I use a unlocked  iPhone 5 (model# A1429 CDMA) on EE's network or not?

    If you purchase the device unlocked, it can be used on any supported GSM carrier around the world.
    There are no guarantees with LTE.  It may work on their LTE network, it may not.
