Iphone bought in middle east not working in Sri Lanka

I tried to use an iphone bought in the middle east, back home in Sri Lanka, is not working. According to the technicians it's not compatible with the networks here. If anyone have ideas please share with me...

According to the technicians it's not compatible with the networks here
The iphone is a world phone, compatible with any GSM network. Where did you buy your phone? Perhaps your phone is "locked" to a carrier network other than what's available where you live.

  • Need facetime for Iphone bought in Middle east, using in India

    Hi Team,
    I bought my iphone 4S in Middle east and hence I cannot use facetime in my phone. Now that I moved back to India, how can I activate the same. Please suggest.
    regards,
    Prakash

    If you purchase an UNLOCKED model from an Apple Store in the US it will work but probably not with LTE if available in your area.
    You will have no warranty coverage in India.

    The warranty is only good in the U.S.
    You woulod have to send it to someone in the U.S.  They could take it in and if it is defective, then it would be replaced.

  • Hi I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 5in the Middle East. I want to know if I will be able to use my iPhone and all its applications when we go back to live in the US for long term.

    Thank you

    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 

  • Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
    I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
    Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.

    Hi Atique ur rehman,
    Thanks for your query.
    If the sleep wake button on your iPhone is unresponsive, first try and reset all setting by going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.
    If this does not resolve the problem, I would sound more like a hardware based issue.
    I would recommend that you contact AppleCare so they can run further tests and diagnostics to help you solve your solution better.
    If you can also access an Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Center, that would be much better.
    Go to https://locate.apple.com/country for further support with your device!
    Thanks,

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • Iphone 6 backup to iCloud not working

    Initially I had the issue where my phone was restoring from iCloud for 2 weeks and never finished. I was unable to do the upgrade to 8.1 because of this, so I canceled the restore and tried to do a backup to iCloud. I let it run (Estimating time remaining...) for a long time, like 30 minutes or something. Each time I tried this it would error off saying it couldn't finish the operation. One time it said it was going to take 2 days to complete the backup, but then it errors off as just mentioned. So I did a google search for "iPhone 6 backup to iCloud not working" and found a link to the forums for the incessant restore issue, it said to do a manual backup through iTunes, then immediately do a restore, then do the upgrade to 8.1.
    However, I still have the issue of the backup taking forever.
    Anyone encounter this issue and find a fix?
    Many thanks.

    I suggest you contact Apple Support.

  • IPhone 6 location services/gps not working

    Anyone else have an issue with iPhone 6 location services/gps not working? I have had it happen to me twice where it stopped working for good 7 or 8 hours and then all of sudden it starts working again. For example, directions don't work, every time I open Apple Maps it will say "Cannot determine location", then when I press the location icon on the bottom left, it will try to search again and have an approximate location but not exact, where as the iPad that I have right next to it is able to pin point the exact location. Sometimes the location circle is pulsing blue sometimes its gray. If I am driving and have tracking on it won't track, and so on.  I have tried to setup the phone as new without restoring the backup, when it stopped working with no luck, it still didn't work. I went and restore it back from backup and few hours later it started to work again. This has happened twice now since I got the phone last Friday.

    Check your "Privacy" settings on your iPhone see what apps are using your location.
