T-Mobile iPhone 6 work in the UK?

So I am travelling around the states at the moment and took the opportunity to save a buck and bought an iPhone 6 on T-mobile today. I'm currently using a traveller sim and all seems to be working ok! Although I'm worried how well it's going to work when I get back. I have 14 days to make my mind up and am not returning to the UK in this time. Does anyone know whether it will work as if it were purchased in the UK? It would make for an expensive mistake if not!
Thanks in advance!

It should work just fine. The T-Mobile models are unlocked out of the box (even if ordered from Apple) Once you do register it on the T-Mobile network though or purchased via an EIP agreement on T-Mobile, it's locked to their network. The thing is though if you're a T-Mobile customer, there are no overseas data charges over your current agreement. Voice calls on the other hand can get pricey if you don't have international coverage.
The huge number of bands available on the iPhone 6 should have you covered with any GSM carrier in the UK.
When you return, simply put the original SIM back in and activate your service on T-Mobile. Otherwise as it sits and you swapped SIM modules before activation, you're good to go.

Will the T-Mobile iPhone 6 work with AT&T LTE?

Will the T-Mobile iPhone 6 work with AT&T LTE? This page seems to indicate it will: http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ But I imagine the phone could be locked to T-Mobile.

What about the contract free one? It ships with a T-Mobile SIM and is unlocked (e.g. AT&T works with no issues on 4G for me), I'm just unable to get LTE. I've noticed the "carrier" setting is missing from the Settings menus...however when I navigate to the About screen, it downloads the carrier specific updates, so based upon https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ it should work, right?
How do you get AT&T LTE on the contract-free/T-Mobile SKU?

Does iphone 3g work with the AT&T Navigator

Does iphone 3g work with the AT&T Navigator. They have a free 30 day trial

No, it only works on Windows Mobile devices or Blackberry's.

Will an unlocked iPhone 5 work on the Verizon network?

Will an unlocked iPhone 5 work on the Verizon network? I know this question is probably premature, I don't think apple has mentioned anything about it yet, but I saw that past unlocked iPhones (4 and 4S) would not work on Verizon. I'm a Verizon customer and I want to keep my unlimited data plan, the only way to do this is buy a iPhone at retail, but from what I saw regarding the 4 and 4S I may not be able to do this. I did read that the iPhone 4S is being made in three distinctive models, 1 with a CDMA network and 2 others with varied GSM - LTE networks. I'm hoping this means that an unlocked iPhone 5S can now run on the Verizon network. Any ideas if I'm correct? Thanks.

Honestly I'm not convinced to jump to sprint so quickly. I am monitoring my data as it is, I'm a heavy data user as I watch a lot of movies from Netflix Hulu plus crackle etc. the flip side of this is that I do most of this on my iPad, which I have currently unlimited data on, so I can still get by without unlimited data on my cell, it's more of me not wanting to lose what I have. But thanks for all the info. I'm secretly hoping that apple has redone the unlocked iPhones but I wont lose any sleep over wishful thinking. I'm just quite anal I guess lol. Thanks again

My MacBook Air keeps asking me for my yahoo password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password/account.

I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again.

My iPhone 5 pairs with my automobile except it does not allow me to "pickup" calls using the car facility. I've contacted Acura RDX 2013 about this problem. It referred me Apple for a fix. My iPhone 4 worked with the car technology.

HI Friend,
Probably the problem it is because your iPhone 4 and your car have the same Bluetooth technology ( 2.1 ), but iPhone 5 has new Bluetooth technology ( 4.0 ).

I have a virgin moble iphone that i found, the power button doesn't work and the phone is saying disabled,what can i do to fix it?

Probably nothing, the phone has a high likelihood of being stolen and if you try to Restore it you will run into Activation Lock. Turn it in to the local authorities.

I'm from Saudi Arabia and I want to buy Yvonne S. 5 of the T-Mobile Does it work on the network in Saudi Arabia

I want to buy a iPhone 5 of Apple Astor U.S. from T-Mobile Does it work in my country Saudi Arabia

Im sure it will work. I bought iPhone 5s 16GB Gold (GSM) T-Mobile on Oct-18 from the Apple Online Store. I didnt use it in US because I was leaving the US, but have used it in Turkey, Dubai, Zambia & Uganda and I assure you it worked perfectly & to me thats my description of Unlocked and can be used in any country outside US.

Will a US Iphone 6 work in the UK

guys,
i am travelling to new york from england, in early november and would like to take advantage of the exchange rate by purchasing an iphone 6.
i have checked the apple website, and noticed that they do an unlocked t mobile handset with a 16 gb memory for onlt $649
i have checked out the LTE page on the apple website and it suggests that model no's AS1586 should work, however the forums are a little confusing.
May i ask,
will this phone work in the uk on a 3 network sim card that i already have ?
would the purchase be subject to any tax ?
would the us apple warranty be valid in the uk ?
thanks for your time

If you live in the UK, then it is ridiculous to even consider purchasing an iPhone in the US - you will end up not saving a lot and you also have a phone with no warranty cover for the UK and one that will not work on the UK 4G networks either. DON'T DO IT. If you live in the UK and you want an iPhone 6, then buy the iPhone 6 in the UK directly from the Apple store and NOT in the US.
The models are different between different countries and the US has networks that are not compatible, so yes, the phone will work, but not on 4G in the UK. You will never be able to get that on a US purchased phone.
Yes, the phone will be subject to US sales tax and perhaps local taxes for the State you are in. You may also find that you have to pay import duty at the airport to bring the phone into the UK, so at the end of the day you will probably save no money at all buy purchasing the phone in the UK.
No - iPhone warranty is NOT international so if you buy your phone in the US you will have no warranty cover for the UK - it would mean flying back to the US if you have a problem with your phone.
The US T-Mobile phone is not an unlocked phone, but sim/contract free. People have said that if you do not activate the phone with the T-Mobile sim card, but use the sim card that you want to use, so a sim card from 3, then the phone will activate and remain unlocked, so don't activate with the T-Moible sim card, or the phone will lock to T-Mobile and you then need to contract them to get the phone unlocked - that is the difference between unlocked and sim/contract free.
If you live in the UK and want an iPhone 6 then buy it from an Apple store in the UK and you can buy a phone that is unlocked, that you will have EU warranty cover for and will be fully compatible with the UK 4G networks.
Can't really be clearer than that other than saying if you want to use the phone in the UK, then DO NOT buy it in the US.

Will my factory unlocked non contract t-mobile iphone 6 work in India if I use another sim there?

I am planning to buy the new iPhone 6 with the t-mobile non contract version which is factory unlocked. I will occasionally travel to India, so I will the Indian sim in India. I wanted to know if my Indian sim will work in this phone or not?

Not sure if your question was answered, but I just used a T-Mobile iPhone 6 in France with no problem. T-mobile does not appear to have a lock on the phones. In case this is relevant, I first turned on and set up the iPhone 6 in the US with the T-Mobile sim in it, but never intentionally "activated" anything with T-Mobile. I just used the iPhone on Wifi for a couple of weeks in the US before returning to France.
Other than the "unlock" issue, iPhone 6 should work in India with any sim-based network.

Unlocked t mobile Iphone 5 work with verizon

Hi, I recently bought an unlocked t mobile iPhone 5, but I have Verizon. Will the phone still work with verizon? And if so, what do I have to do to get it working?

To be completely sure, here are the different models of iphone 5:
Model number on the back cover:
A1428: iPhone 5 (GSM model)
A1429: iPhone 5 (GSM and CDMA model)
A1442: iPhone 5 (CDMA model, China)
(from Apple support website)
So seeing as your iphone was a TMobile device, which would mean it has to be GSM capable, this phone is either an A1428 or A1429. If it is the A1429, that means it also will support CDMA, so you should be good to go on Verizon. If it is the A1428, not so much.
So yeah, just take a look at the back of your phone, and you shall find the answers you seek.

How can I get my locked iPhone to work in the US

Hi,
I spoke with a genius at the montreal Apple Store, I asked about unlocks as I am moving to the states for work in the coming month. He mentioned that while carriers generally have to dot he unlocks they have unlocked international phones. My question is has anyone tried to dot his from Canada to the US. Also If you are still under warrenty and get a refurbished one in the US, at what point does it lock to your existing carrier. I was always confused as to how this works.Im sure there a lot of people who are wondering the same thing.
Thank you

Unlock can be done only by original Carrier. You should get
this straightened out before leaving Canada. Warranty on your
iPhone is not international - if you need any repair or replacement,
you will have to return iPhone to Canada for this to be done.

Does the iPhone 4S work with the tom-tom car kit?

The tomtom car kit still works fine with my old iPhone 4. I can not get it to work with my iPhone 4S at all it does not recognize the car kit.

I also posted this problem on the tomtom fourums and got a fix from a user. In addtion to the iphone 4 adapter I used a peice of velcro on top of the existing adapter I had in place. Now it works with the iphone 4S. I guess the 4S is slightly thinner the the 4.

Will iphone cases work with the touch

when looking for a case, can you use an iphone case?
or do you have to buy specific touch cases?

1G Touch cases also won't work with the 2G Touch that was just released. The case is a slightly different shape and there's a volume control on the side that would be covered by a 1G case.
The way power is supplied to the Touch through the dock connector changed as well.
Cheers,
Andreas

Why don't iPhone alarms work when the phone is switched off?

How come iPhone alarms won't work when the phone itself is turned off?
