Using iPhone 5 A1428 in Europe

I'm planning on getting the unlocked iPhone 5, whenever the hype dies down and I can actually get one, but I just have one question before hand.
I'm going to be going to Europe for 1-8 months next year (UK, France, Germany area) and was wondering if the A1428 model of the iPhone 5 would work there at all, and if it would be as simple as just getting a new sim card. I'm not concerned about using the LTE, all I want is to be able to use data, and maybe a few texts and calls.

Welcome. You might want to browse around the App store for GPS apps. There are many. Try to get one that allows you to download the maps before hand. That way the GPS will not have to connect to the internet in order to donwload the maps as needed, which can save you data, especially if you are going to be roaming with your "home" carrier.
I have found that copilot Live is good, but expensive:

I think they have a test version wich you can try out for free.

  • Using iPhone 5 A1428 on wind?

    If wind shows up on network selection does that mean I can use it on wind?
    iPhone 5, A1428

    As stated, no one here will know until such time as either Wind or Apple announce it. Anything else you read, see or hear is nothing more than rumour and speculation.

    That depends on whether your phone is unlocked (if you intend to use a local SIM in Japan) or whether your carrier offers an international roaming plan that you consider reasonable.

  • Traveling to Europe/India - How to use iPhone 4?

    Hey everyone!
    I searched the forum but could not find relevant information.
    I have an iPhone 4, and traveling abroad for a month or two. I heard that I need to Jailbreak it, then install ultrasn0w to unlock the phone.
    Then when in India, I know there are no MicroSIM available so I need to use a simcutter - would that work? Which carrier is the best to go with? Pre-Paid? How much should I spend (Europe or India)? Is that all? Will data work? Please advise. Thank you for your help and time!

    So you are willing to bypass all the security on the phone, void your warranty and mutilate a SIM card just to get your phone to work there?
    Well first we cannot help you with jailbreaking options as that topic is against the TOS of this site.
    Think it would just be easier to get a Pay as You go phone when you get there and use iPhone in WiFi only mode. Can usually find one right at the airport after landing.

    The US LTE bands in US shipped iP5  will not work in Europe or Japan

  • If I would buy a iPhone 5s A1457 in europe, will I be able to use it in Australia?

    If I would buy a iPhone 5s A1457 in europe, will I be able to use it in Australia?

    Maxime, If you bought it with Apple in Nederland (or België) it is unlocked and you can put any sim card in it. If you go to Australia for a long time, do as Allan says, because although it will work, you will not have guarantee in Australia.
    If you bought it from a provider, it is locked to that provider and you can not use it with another sim card. This is not really a problem when you are only going to Australia for a short visit, you can go on using your NL sim card, but note that you better set Dataroaming to OFF, otherwise it could be a very costly trip. SMS and telephone will also be more expensive in Australia with a dutch card.
    The prices in Australia are not much different (tax included) from NL and BE.

    Can I use the charger of the iPhone of Mexico in Europe or I need some adapter?

    This question comes up from time to time. YouTube and Facebook are both wrong.
    There are a number of con-men who think that they can earn a quick buck from claiming that they own the copyright to Apple’s royalty-free jingles and sound effects included with the iLife applications. These are all free to use, as clearly stated in section 2.C of the iLife Software License Agreement:
    “You may use the Apple and third party audio content (“Audio Content”) contained in or otherwise included with the Apple software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual samples, sound sets, or audio content may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound files, sound effects or music beds.”

  • Has anyone used their Galaxy Nexus in Europe?

    Verizon Tech support told me that I could, but i wanted to confirm with you all.  Can i only use the data over there?  or can i also get voice?  I need to order a new phone for work and I'd like to use this, however i travel to China and EU. 
    Any first hand feedback would be great, but i'll take any comments.
    TIA,
    Alan

    Europe runs primarily on GSM technology which is not compatible with Verizon's CDMA technology. To use a Verizon phone in Europe you'd likely have to have a "world phone" which would contain both CDMA and GSM radios. Although I love the Galaxy Nexus and it should work in Asia, you'll have a tough time in Europe.
    You might want to consider the upcoming Galaxy S III, which has both CDMA and GSM radios. Preorders start tomorrow, the device will likely be out later in June or sometime in July. This will probably be your best bet for a great phone that can work anywhere in the world, aside from the iPhone 4S.

  • Using iPhone 4s in multiple countries (SIM card swap) ??

    I just upgraded to a iPhone 4s (factory unlocked, awaiting delivery) from a 3gS (carrier locked). I am currently living in Europe but I travel to North America frequently for work. I was wondering if is is possible, and how hard it is to swap SIM cards so that I can use my phone regularly in Europe and pay as you go in North America.
    Any advise or tips are welcome and thanks in advance.
    Coady

    It's easy. Just pop one sim out and put the other in.
    However, in the US you'll have problems finding a carrier that supports iPhone usage on a PAYG basis. AT&T is the only nationwide iPhone GSM carrier and they don't allow iPhone usage on their PAYG plans, even for travellers.

  • IPhone 5 A1428 Wil Work AWS Carriers such vtr in Chile

    I have a question. Will iPhone 5 (A1428) Will Work on USA (T-Mobile, Cincinnati Bell Wireless), Canada (WIND Mobile, Mobilicity, Videotron), Chile (VTR, Nextel)?.
    I especially interested on vtr carrier in Chile, the don't have offcialy iPhone 5, but I used two iPhone4 sice last year, vtr has a AWS network and a roaming service with Movistar (GSM), my iPhone is from Entel (GSM).
    If I buy an iPhone in Chile (Movistar, Claro, Entel) I think, I will buy A1429. If I bought throught Apples Store I'll receive A1428, I want to know if it will work on vtr's AWS network.

    Look at the specs page for the iPhone and see if it supports the appropriate network.
    Keep in mind that warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.
    If the iPhone is available in your country, buy it there.
    You cannot purchase an iPhone from any country's store and have it shipped outside that country.  In other words, if you buy the iPhone from the US online store, you must have a US billing and shipping address.
    The A1428 is only sold in North America.

  • How do I use an used iphone with an exsisting AT, How do I use an used iphone with an exsisting AT

    How do I set up an used iphone to an exsisting AT&T account

    Set it up as new by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings (which returns it to it's new out of the box condition), put your SIM in it and go through the activation screens.  Be sure this is an AT&T phone though as AT&T phones are locked to only work on the AT&T network.

  • FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.

    FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.
    This is the error message I receive when I try to add my phone to my Mac for proximity / FaceTime audio calling.  This feature worked until I changed my Apple ID.  I have updated my Apple ID everywhere I can think of updating it.  I've signed out of Apple ID on my Mac, deleted EVERYTHING (calendars, contacts, etc.), signed back in, etc.  I've done the same with my phone, and even done a power-down / reboot and nada.  I keep getting this message from the Mac.
    I can't figure out where else I should look for my old Apple ID to be logged into anything or creating problems.  I've gone over my iPhone and Mac and I'm at a loss.  As an aside (and yes, wrong forum), have lost the ability to do SMS forwarding since the Mac no longer receives the code from my iPhone to allow this feature to work.  This was lost after signing out of the Apple ID on my Mac this afternoon.
    Bluetooth is turned on for both devices.  Both devices are on the same WiFi network.  Both devices otherwise appear to be working correctly with the exception of the problems I'm having with FaceTime and iCloud being signed into the same Apple ID (which they are).
    Thanks in advance,

    (By the way, I should have pointed out in my earlier posting that I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on my Mac). I Just installed latest Yosemite update while my iPhone was switched off, and when my Mac restarted, the 'iPhone Cellular Calls' checkbox in the FaceTime preferences was checked and the problem was therefore solved. Switched on my iPhone, still fine. Relief.
