Purchasing a phone in the USA to use in the UK

I have been on google for days now and cannot find a definitive answer to what the differences are between a USA purchased iphone 6 and a UK purchased iphone 6.
What i do know is the model i think i need is the A1586, this is the unlocked version that can be bought in the UK.
It is used by Sprint in the USA.
A colleague of mine in the UK bought his 64GB in the UK and has the model number MG4F2B/A
From research i have done, these are the factory unlocked models in the USA
The factory unlocked models in the US with 16 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB of storage, respectively, are MG482LL/A, MG4H2LL/A, and MG4C2LL/A in silver; MG492LL/A, MG4J2LL/A, and MG4E2LL/A in gold; and MG472LL/A, MG4F2LL/A, and MG4A2LL/A in "space" gray.
None of which matches my colleagues number above, so is the 64GB over here the same as the UK and the model number is just used to show that it was purchased in the USA?

I have it ready for you. Did you want to add Applecare + for it at all?
not at this stage, I understand I may add it in the first 3 months, is that right?
Absolutely!
actually, what is the warranty situation? Will I be able to take it to a UK Apple store if I have an issue?
You sure can because it does include international support.
unfortunately that is not what the Apple legal terms and conditions say ,published and thoroughly vetted by Applwe Legal
best of luck
IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.

Absolutely!
Important notes
Purchase AppleCare+ with your new iPhone. Or buy it within 60 days of your iPhone purchase:
Oh dear rather proves the Agent has no idea it is 60 days was 30 up to until recently

I purchased I phone 5 from USA covered under Apple care . I'm in India now. Wake/sleep button not working. Apple care here have refused to replace or repair it though it is still under international warranty. Feeling harassed. Can some one help.

Is there an "APPLE STORE" in India or you just went in a reseller store?
There is a replacement program for sleep/wake button for free. Just look for an Apple Store and make a reservation at Genius Bar.
I have an iPhone 5, bought in Dubai U.A.E.
It is a US model (model A1428) which is different of the model use here in Italy/Europe
My serial number is qualified for battery replacement program.
I thought the Apple Store wouldn't repair my phone because I bought it from another country , a different model and it is already out of warranty.
The Apple store's staff just checked if my iPhone's serial number is eligible for the program and he replaced the battery for free today.

Hello, I live in Russia and would like to purchase I-phone through the online store E-bay from a private individual. As in this case, the guarantee?

Again, the iPhone warranty is NOT international. And, if I may offer unsolicited advice, buying from ebay is always risky. Most sellers are less then honest when it comes to iPhones. They might state that the iPhone is unlocked when it is not; it might not be really unlocked or might be hacked/jailbroken.
My advice to you is to buy in the country you intend to use the phone and buy it from a legitimate source such as Apple or an authorized reseller.

I purchased i phone 5 from usa and now it's not working please help me out

Due to the craze i have over i phone 5 i purchased it online through e bay, actually i need a cdma phone as its not avaliable in india i have ordered it online and i got it in june from then my problems started i am not able to use it, I contacted the seller but it's of no use, I contacted the sprint network people today and they said the phone is active and asked me to consult apple india so please help me sir doing me the favor,really out of my innocence i have purchased it.

There is no CDMA network in India - it does not exist and is only in the US which is what the Sprint and Verizon phones are.
If you purchased a CDMA US phone, then it is very unlikley that it will ever work in India. It definitely won't work on CDMA network as they don't exist in India - end of.
Not sure if the CDMA iPhone 5 has a sim card tray - if so, then insert an Indian sim card into it and you then should be able to use the phone with an Indian carrier. CDMA iPhone 5's should have sim card trays that are unlocked. If so, the phone should work in India, but other than that, you may be saddled with a phone that you can't use.
If you purchased it on e-bay, then it is buyer beware and go and file a claim with E-Bay for misselling and return the phone.
Other than that, this is a public user forum and Apple will not here you here.
You need to contact Apple directly.

After 04 months of purchase of iphone 5 the lock button is too hard. At times its not working at all. The phone has been purchased in USA now I'm not getting service in India. After all whats the point in spending so much amount without any service.

The warranty says that Apple may restrict service of an iPhone to the country of sale, and any reliable salesperson will tell you that if you tell them that you plan to use the iPhone in another country. Such service restrictions are common with cellphones and are by no means limited to Apple's phones.
Sorry, but if your iPhone requires service, you will need to send it to someone you know in the US who can get it serviced and then send it back to you.

Can I purchase the iphone 4S from USA and use it in India?

Can I purchase the iphone 4S from USA and use it in India? And will I able to get the international Warranty?

I heard from friends the best phone reception in India is Nokia or Sony...because the call centres for both companies have call centres in India and they said the best receptions from cellphones/networks is via Nokia or Sony.
I fully support Apple I have many products but if you spend so much money on an iPhone 4S that didn't work out; why not spend time goggling India's network provider/carrier and do some research?!?
Or email Apple support with all your questions, details, informations and maybe thay can help you out more. It was me, the best answer is to Spend the time on research before making a purchase.
Good luck.

I don't know that you can purchase in one country and use it in another. Try contactoing Adobe support thru chat:

Yes, the iPhone 5S is a global phone. However, Sprint will only unlock phones for use on GSM networks outside of the U.S. In the U.S., that phone can only be used on Sprint's network.

I have purchased my iPhone 4S from USA. Its a Factory unlocked phone. I am facing problem with the hardware. Is there any support that apple provides to send the phone from India to USA to get it replaced? Also if there is any travelers Policy?

Login to the app store with YOUR ID. You can't use the app store without an Apple ID. If there are apps on the phone that were purchased with the original owners ID, you do NOT own them. The owner had no legal right to give them to you and they are permanently tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
...i was also allowed to purchase an apple network id for this phone...
I have absolutely NO IDEA what you mean by that. You can not "purchase an apple network id".
