TS2755 Can i use unlocked SPRINT iPhone in India with GSM Operators?

Dear All,
Can any one help me to understand if iPhone5 SPRINT Unlocked phone (from USA) works in GSM Operators (Airtel etc..) in India? is there any issues if used, as SRPINT in USA uses CDMA technology? please help in understanding.
Thank you,
Srikanth

However, now I've got an Indian simcard (Airtel) and I want to use it with my iphone. Will this work?
No, unless your phone was officially unlocked by the UK carrier it was originally locked to, and from your post stating you're roaming, it would appear your phone is not unlocked. The 2G iphone was only sold officially unlocked in France when it was introduced.

  • Can I use the original iphone in India, with a local simcard?

    I've got an old 8GB 2G iphone (the first model) bought in the UK. Roaming's turned on, and I'm currently using it as a phone in India with a UK number.
    However, now I've got an Indian simcard (Airtel) and I want to use it with my iphone. Will this work? And, as the phone doesn't have a UK sim in (I accessed the number online somehow, as per the instructions at the time), will I be able to get all my texts etc back when I want to switch back to the UK number?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

  • Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked

    Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked. Sprint will only unlock it if it's international. they will not unlock it if I want to use the iphone4s with another USA carrier.  Why? I have paid for the phone and don't have a contract.  I wanted to switch the SIM card and use tmobile or another provider because I am very dissatisfied with sprint service. Lots of drop calls and texting takes 15 to reach the other person.  It is horrible,,,, I hate sprint!,

    Sorry, what others here have said is wrong, wrong, wrong. There is nothing about the hardware of the iPhone 4S that would prevent a Sprint 4S from being used on T-Mobile, or any GSM carrier, international or domestic. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Each and every 4S is 100% hardware capable of doing both GSM and CDMA out of the box. The only impediment is that Sprint would have to authorize an unlock for you. This is something they simply refuse to do. If anyone at Sprint has told you that they can't unlock a 4S for domestic use with another carrier, they have lied to your face. This, by the way, is something they're doing with everyone who asks the question - just Google search "Sprint unlock iPhone 4S", and you'll see dozens of internet threads where people talk about being lied to by Sprint about this issue. The good news is that Sprint signed an agreement with the FCC regarding letting off-contract customers unlock their phones. The agreement takes effect in mid-March, and Sprint is dragging its feet until then. Once that deadline passes, if Sprint still hasn't agreed to unlock your phone, then they're in violation of the agreement, and you can and should report them to the FCC. I sure plan to. Then I'm going to switch carriers, to one that doesn't lie to me and keep fraudulent liens on my property.

  • Can I use unlocked(simfree) iPhone 5 of Hong Kong's one in India?

    can I use unlocked(simfree) iPhone 5 of Hong Kong's one in India?

    Because iPhone warranty/support has always been limited to country of original purchase(except for the EU). This has been true since the original iPhone was released in 2007. I can guarantee you that you will not receive any warranty or support for any iPhone, in India, that was not purchased from an official source in India. Even if you want to pay, they won't touch the phone. All they'll do is laugh & hand it back to you.
    Don't believe me? Try & see for yourself, but don't come back here complaining.

    If your phone is officially unlocked, you can use any valid sim, from any supported GSM carrier, anywhere in the world.

  • Can I use my old iPhone AC Adapter with my new iPad mini

    Just bough myself a new mini retina but was wondering if I could use my old iPhone 4 AC power adapter with it i.e. plug the new lightining to USB to AC Adapter.
    The iPad's power adapter is a bit bulky and anything so I don't end up taking a hundred power adapters on holiday tomorrow!
    Looking at the details they say:
    Old charger:
    100-240v ~ 50/60Hz 0.15A
    Output 5V == 1A
    New charger:
    100-240v ~ 50/60Hz 0.45A
    Output 5.1V == 2.1A

    Another option is that you can take ONLY the iPad mini's 10W charger with you instead of the iPhone's 5W charger. It's not that much bigger than the iPhone's 5W and will safely charge BOTH devices. It's really not recommended (& not considered compatible by Apple) to use the 5W charger to charge devices requiring a 10W or 12W charger. Yes, as was mentioned above, you CAN use the 5W to charge the mini Retina. It will take longer and the charger will likely generate more heat. Personally, I'd just take the 10W charger. It's safe and compatible (officially by Apple) with both your iPhone 4 and the iPad mini Retina.
    Compatibility for 5W charger: (scroll down to compatibility)

  • Can I use my Sprint iPhone 5 on Verizon 4G LTE

    Hi I want to use my iPhone 5 from Sprint on Verizon's 4G LTE I have a service with Verizon already and I want to use my iPhone 5 on that carrier instead, I'm afraid though because I want to use the 4G services with Verizon and I was wondering if Sprint's 4G has a different 4G chip in it please help!

    No.  CDMA carriers such as Sprint and Verizon don't allow phones from other carriers, even if the phone is isentical to theirs.

  • Can I use unlock US iphone 4s with a pay as you UK sim card

    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy the iphone 4s here in the US but I travel to the UK alot, so would I be able to use a pay as you go UK sim card with the US iphone 4s? as this would be the cheapest option instead of paying for roaming fees. I know that Apple states that it is a world phone but just wanted to make this absolute before running of to the store next month.

    You'll need to purchase an unlocked / SIM-free iPhone 4S in the US when the become available in November.
    Buy one now, and it will be locked to the network, with no way of unlocking it.

  • HT1688 The friend brought to me from the USA iphone 4. I can't use it at all. It with our operators doesn't work. I very much ask you help me to solve a problem.

    The friend brought to me a gift from the USA, and it doesn't work year. Our operators don't understand it. Help me to unblock iphone4
    <Edited by Host>

    This has nothing to do with iPhones in the Enterprise.
    Sounds like your friend is a bit dumb and bought a carrier locked iPhone.  The only way to address this is to contact the carrier to whom the device is locked and find out their unlock policy.
    Oh, and stop being dumb yourself, posting IMEI, serial numbers, and email addresses on a public forum is just plain stupid.

  • 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.

  • HT1937 Can i use my unlocked Sprint iphone 4s on AT&T's $25 prepaid plan?

    Can my unlocked Sprint iPhone 4s be used on AT&T's $25 prepaid plan? I recently opted out of my two year contract. When I plugged in the AT&T gophone mini sim to activate it, it says "sim not valid" and says only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate the phone. Please help!

    The only way to use a Sprint CDMA phone with Verizon's CDMA network would be to entice Verizon to reflash the firmware on you phone.  And they will not do that, for anyone with any phone - you must purchase a Verizon phone to use the Verizon network.
    You cannot use your CDMA Sprint phone with AT&T because AT&T does not operate a CDMA network.  They use GSM, which is a different network than CDMA.
