Unlocked iphone 4 works in the netherlands?

Hello,
I am going to the usa in 3 weeks and planni g to buy a iphone 4.
But do this unlocked iphone works in my country (The Netherlands)
And do I have worldwide Warranly?
Thanks

Tomas,
If you buy a factory unlocked phone from Apple it should work fine in the Netherlands. However, warranty is NOT world-wide, but rather limited to the country in which the phone was purchased (except for the EU, where an EU-purchased phone can be repaired under warranty in any EU country). If you can buy a factory unlocked phone in the Netherlands that would be much better, or at least somewhere in Europe so if you have problems you can return to to the country of purchase much easier.

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

If I buy unlocked iPhone would work on all the networks including Verizon.?

If I buy unlocked iPhone would work on all the networks including Verizon.?

No. an unlocked iPhone will only work on GSM networks. The only GSM carriers in the US are AT&T and T-Mobile. Any of the small, regional carriers that use GSM are actually MVNO's that piggyback on the T-Mobile or AT&T networks. You will have issues with some features using those carriers, most notably MMS messaging and cellular data.
If you are going to want to use Verizon, then buy a Verizon phone.

If I purchase an Iphone 5s factory unlocked in the US from the Apple store and bring it to India, will I be able to purchase a global warranty?
No, as there is no such thing for an iPhone.
If not then will i be able to get the phone serviced here in India from the authorised dealer/agent in India?
Nope. You'll only be able to get the phone serviced in the US...no one will touch it in India.

No you won't. You can try, but your order will be canceled.
But, yes, the phone is unlocked. But again, you won't be ordering one.

Does the unlocked iphone 4 works with other networks besides at

does unlocked iphone 4 works with other network besides at&t like verizon, sprint, and t-mobile ?

An officially unlocked iphone 4 will work with other GSM networks. The ONLY major GSM network in the U.S is T-Mobile ( who are being purchased by AT&T). Currently with T-Mobile you will not get 3G service or visual voicemail with the iphone.

Unlocked iPhone not working with Vodafone

Hi all,
I have an awkward problem. A couple of months ago I bought an unlocked iphone in Italy because I was moving to the Netherlands and I knew they didn't sell unlocked iPhones there. In the meantime I successfully used my Italian prepaid SIM card.
Now I bought a Vodafone NL SIM card. The first time I tried to use it, I got a No Service message on my iPhone but apparently the SIM was working with another cheap phone that I have. Today I went to the Vodafone store where I bought the SIM and they replaced the SIM card twice. Apparently the last SIM card was working, I could call and receive calls, send and receive text messages.
Unfortunately, I can use the phone just for 10 minutes, then I get a No Service message. I have to reboot my iPhone and then it works again (for 10 minutes).
Vodafone told me that they did everything they could and the problem depends on my phone (they even support the iPhone, all the settings are right, but still no luck).
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Do you think this problem depends on the iPhone?
I really don't know what to do and I have a 1 year contract (even if it is only 10 € p/m, it is still annoying).
Thank you!
Best,
Marco

Wil ipad air 4G work in the Netherlands on Vodadone network? (A1475)

Wil ipad air 4G work in the Netherlands on Vodadone network? (A1475)
i mean on their 4G network?

May I ask which iPhone you use and which carrier you use whilst visiting the uk.as some still don't have 4g in many areas
I have an iPhone 5 on Verizon (CDMA). I am not entirely sure which carrier I use while in Europe. A friend gets the SIM and sends the SIM to me and it is GSM. The SIM slot on my phone is unlocked for GSM as are all Verizon phones with a SIM slot. When I leave the US
I remove my Verizon SIM (required for LTE/4G) and install the European SIM. The day I travel my friend activates the SIM and I have phone service as soon as I land. The data is limited to 3G or less. Not a real problem as anywhere I go I can generally get WIFI. I just use the data when I am traveling on the train to get schedules and platform information.
Newer models of the phones may support the LTE/4G bands in Europe so that may no longer be an issue. It could also be the provider my friend uses has limited or no LTE/4G service.
You need to carefully consider the warranty issue. If you buy the phone in the US you will have no warranty in Europe. That may be a very real and significant hassle if you have problems with the phone.
I suspect the phones cost more in Europe because of VAT and import duties. We host exchange students from Europe and they generally buy an iPhone when they are living here. I tell them to leave the box and any packing here so that when they go through customs they will not be dinged for duties and if asked where they got the phone just say they brought it with them. Although customs figures almost everyone has a phone and will not be at all concerned about a phone that is not in a box.

Would my UK unlocked iPhone 3GS work on t-mobile US 3G network?

I have a unlocked iPhone 3GS bought from the UK last year. I know US iPhones dont work on t-mobile's 3G network due to network incompatibility. However, do UK iPhones work on t-mobile's 3G network?

The same incompatibility exists in all GSM iPhones. They can use the US T-Mobile network, but only using EDGE since T-Mobile's 3G service uses a frequency not supported in the iPhone.
Regards.

When is the Unlocked Iphone 5 releasing in the US???

I have been waiting since 3 months to buy an Unlocked Version of the Iphone 5, if someone from apple just tells me when it releases?, that would be great.
I am really finding it hard to manage my work and studies without a smart phone so i want to buy the best asap.
I dont want to buy from other countries, i know Unlocked is released in other countries too...

The reason you're having trouble getting an unlocked iPhone 5 is that the U.S. carriers operate proprietary networks and bully the manufactures preventing unlocked options for a period of time. The FCC needs to step in and stop this practice. Its ridiculous to think that one has to buy phones over and over if you must change cell carriers. If a carrier overloads their network and you cant make calls or get incredibly slow internet service then you have to live with the poor service or spend the money on another phone. I actually experienced this issue.
The reality is that the phones are capable of working on all networks. Its a policy and database that keeps it locked to a vendor. The vendors will try to convince you that the phone is specific to their network. Yes, each vendor has specific network specifications defined in the phone software, but this can easily be changed to the vendors specific specifications. The iPhone has the hardware to support all of the US carriers. T the best of my knowledge Apple is not dedicating a manufacturing line for each vendor with specific cellular radios for each. It wouldn’t make economic sense.
Can you imagine what it would be like if you purchased a laptop or tablet and it was locked into a specific WIFI network. Oh you can only run this laptop on Cable Company wireless. There is no difference. The cell carrier should lock the customer into their service by providing a discount for 2 years of service. If their performance fails then the customer should have a way to exit form their contract.
If you really want to change this poor business practice, then go online and file a formal web based complaint with the FCC and FTC. If enough people complain, a law will be put in place to force fair business practices.

FTC Complaint Link:

Keep pushing back. If enough people complain, this will change.

Will Apple cover my factory unlocked iphone 3GS anywhere in the world?

Hello,
I'm planning on buying a factory unlocked iphone 3GS directly from the Apple Store in Hong Kong.
Will Apple cover my iphone with the warranty worldwide or only in Hong Kong?
Thank you.

What I meant to say is that technically, hardware-wise, almost all iphones 3GS are the same (I believe the models in mainland China don't have GPS?).
It's no WiFi in China. GPS used to be illegal in Egypt, but they changed the law recently.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I suppose that the carrier lock is a software lock, which can be removed (we've all heard about it), but gets reversed once you update to a new OS version.
Carriers can ask Apple to unlock particular phones. The next time the iPhone is restored via iTunes, new firmware will be downloaded from Apple and will display a message saying it has been unlocked. It will stay unlocked if updated. Unofficial unlocks (which can not be done on current iPhones) will re-lock if the iPhone is updated.
I know it is the way it is, but I believe most of you would agree that if you buy a telephone, you shouldn't be forced to go with one carrier or another. That is why when I pay for an unlocked phone, I pay much more, go get the freedom (without hacks) to choose the carrier I want (where in contrast I pay much less for calls and internet than with the exclusive iphone carrier).
It would be much easier for Apple if all iPhones were unlocked, and the same in all countries, but the carriers make a fortune from their exorbitant roaming charges, so where the country's laws allow, insist that Apple not make any unlocked iPhones available in their countries.
By the way, MMS is not something most people use. There are some statistics on the internet about the ratio of SMS to MMS and it was something like 10 to 1.
All the 3G and 3GS iPhones are capable of MMS, but the carriers have to support it.

Unlocked iphone 4s available at the first week of november?

i'm going to new york next week, is the unlocked iphone 4s available at the first week of november? hoping the answer is yes!

All Apple has said is "Coming in November"...that could be anytime between 11/01 & 11/30/2011.

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.

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.

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 ).
