USA iphone 5 in Europe

Hi, I am David, from Spain. In the coming days I am going to travel to USA and I am thinking about buying an iphone 5. Does someone know if it is possible to use it in Spain? Are there any kind of problem with the frecuency bands? Thank you very much.

The unlocked iPhone 5 sold in the US will not work on LTE networks in Europe. In addition, the warranty is only valid in the country of origin. (The EU is considered one country for warranty and service purposes). Don't buy an iPhone in the US if you intend to use it primarily in Europe. Buy one in Europe.

  • Does an iphone 6 from usa work in europe?

    does an iphone 6 from usa work in europe?

    I've used my unlocked iPhone 4 in Aus with a Telstra SIM, and also used my AT&T iPhone 5S with international roaming.  Both work just fine.  AFAIK, the iPhone 6 is a "world phone" which works on multiple GSM bands, so it should work fine too.  And according to this page, you'll get LTE speeds too.
    As to pricing, are you comparing similar phones?  I don't know if the Australian telcos have changed their policies since I used to live there, but it used to be that you bought your phone outright, at full price, and could then use it with whichever carrier you like - an unlocked phone.  Conversely, most phones sold here in the USA are tied to a two-year service contract with the carrier.  The carrier therefore subsidizes the purchase price, secure in the knowledge that the customer is tied into paying them for monthly service for the next 24 months.  Those phones are locked to that carrier at least until that contract expires, and cannot be used with other US carriers' SIMs or with local SIMs when taken overseas.
    If you compare unlocked phones in both countries, you'll probably find the prices are pretty similar.

    Can I use my iPhone in Europe?

    Indeed you can. Beware of data roaming, charges, however, where you are charged through the nose for a data connection abroad. Your phone company may sell overseas data plans, or you may consider getting a SIM card for one of the providers of the country you're visiting.
    You can turn off data roaming in Settings --> General --> Network --> Turn Data Roaming to 'off'.

    Can I use my iPhone in Europe and will it work as a hotspot for my iPad?

    It didn't work for me during my February 2013 visit to Switzerland. The Personal Hotspot feature on my iPhone 4S works fine when I am in the US. Upon arrival in Switzerland, my phone connected to the Swisscom network. Phone calls, SMS, Web, and E-mail worked fine on the iPhone. Funny is the Personal Hotspot feature completely disappeared from the settings menu while there. It reappeared once I was back in the US.

  • Need power adapter from an iPhone 5 Europe to charge in canada?

    Please, Need power adapter from an iPhone 5 Europe to charge it in canada?

    You just need to get an adapter for the plug pins
    No need for a voltage adapter, just look for 120/240 50/60Hz on the label and if you do see it you're set for North American power.

    I want to travel with my iphone in Europe using only ipod and wifi features. I do not want to receive any bills from ATT for phone useage or data, what is the best way to prevent this other than not making phone calls. thank you joanlvh

    Enable Airplane mode on your iPhone while there.
    Beginning with firmware update 2.0, you are able to turn on wi-fi access only with Airplane mode enabled.

  • Airport Extreme USA vs. Europe

    I live in Switzerland and am thinking about buying an Airport Extreme when I'm in the states next week (cheaper than buying one here). I see from the tech specs that the AEBS uses (is allowed to use?) a different set of channels in the USA vs. Europe.
    If I bring a US-spec AEBS over here will I be able to reset it for the Euro channels? Does it matter?
    Thanks!

    No, you won't be able to enable the additional channels
    Does it matter?
    It probably will, since you'll have less flexibility to find a less crowded channel in your location.

    Does a MacBook Air bought in the USA work in Europe ?

    Yes, no problem whatsoever. just get a local figure of 8 style cable to plug into the power adaptor. Don't bother with the expensive 'World adaptors' some folk sell as most electrical stores and even supermarkets will have one for a less than a Dollar.

  • Can I charge my UK iPhone in USA with USA iPhone USB adaptor?

    I'm going to the USA for a holiday and I want to know can I charge my UK iPhone 4S with a USA iPhone USB adaptor? I don't want to take my UK iPhone USB adaptor. So can I use the USA iPhone adaptor?

    Why would it? ALL iPhones charge using industry standard USB power of 5 volts DC. All iPhone chargers output 5 volts DC.

  • HT1420 How do I sync two iPhones to my Itunes, one a Canadian iPhone and the other a USA iPhone?

    I have an Canadian iPhone 3GS and an USA iPhone 4S, How do I sync them with iTunes, without overwriting the other data and software versions?
    Thank you for any advisce!

    You can't.
    If accounts could be merged, then everybody could merge their accounts with everybody and there would be no need for anyone to buy anything.

  • Can't get email on usa iphone in canada?

    Migrated to ICloud on all devices last week, have USA IPhone 4 which was all working well, travelled to Canada last night and e-mails are not coming through at all, any suggestions?

    Howdy cathy145,
    This can be done in the Settings app, -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add Account.
    If you're looking to set up an iCloud e-mail address, however, you would look in Settings -> iCloud.

  • I live in europe. Does a time-capsule bought in usa work in europe?

    I live in europe. Does a time-capsule bought in usa work in europe?

    Yes, but you cannot select your country.. so some channels work that shouldn't and other channels that should don't.. there are major differences not so much at 2.4ghz but at 5ghz.. which is more important for AC routers.
    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
    So the US one is now and always set to US wireless regime.
