Using iPhone 5S model A1533 in Japan

I’d like to use my unlocked iPhone for both voice and data while visiting in Japan next month. Many sites that I’ve visited mention that only the model A1453 iPhone 5S has complete functionality in Japan. Does that mean that even if I have an international SIM card from a third-party vendor or sign up with AT&T for their international plan, neither one will provide both voice and data? Thanks.

You can get both voice and data, but you will not get data at LTE speeds as the LTE bands supported on the iPhone are not the same as those you'll find in Japan.

No Japanese carrier provides unlocking services. Therefore, your phone must have been hacked to unlock it. That hack was removed when you updated the software. You need to be a legitimately unlocked phone.
Best of luck.

Go to itunes and restore your phone from backup, make sure you have a recent backup in itunes of your phone first.

US iPhone 5S model:A1533 (GSM), Will that work in Australia?

While visiting the US, if i buy an iPhone 5S and bring it to Australia, Will it work on the 4g LTE network?

Obvious comments: You will have no warranty cover in Australia. You will have to pay ( I'm sure you wouldn't dream of smuggling) various taxes on importing the phone into your country. That's after you have paid the US sales tax on top of whatever you are looking at as the US price.
Applecare is global.
Don't be dumb. Buy the iPhone in the country in which you intend to use it.
It is smart to buy an iPhone that has LTE in more countries you visit, rather than one primarily for home. For example the Verizon iPhone 5, supports LTE in the US, Japan and Europe. You can't get that from the local UK iPhone.

Use iphone (purchased in spain) in japan

Hi!
I bought an iPhone in Spain (I'm Spanish) but within four months'll move to Japan to live there two years of study. Can I use my iphone there with a Japanese company mobile contract or impossible?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Greetings!

Check this support document about the different carriers in Japan. You can find links to their websites from that document. More than likely you will need to have your phone unlocked by your carrier in Spain. Contact them to see if you qualify. Then see if there is a carrier in Japan you can use.

IPhone 5 model A1429, part MD105LL/A/

I am looking at buying a used iPhone 5 model A1429, part MD105LL/A. Trying to find out if this is an original Apple Store unlocked phone that is GSM version?

From the part number, that appears to be a CDMA Cricket model of iPhone. Those are not unlocked and to the best of my knowledge Cricket will not unlock it. I'd therefore suggest avoiding that iPhone. In fact I'd suggest avoiding buying any used iPhone if you're looking for one that's unlocked unless you can buy from someone you know or the seller can provide you proof that it was either sold unlocked originally or was unlocked by the carrier. Most "unlocked" iPhones sold used are actually hacked, not unlocked officially.
Regards.

I want to buy the iphone model A1533

I want to buy the iPhone 5s model is A1533 (GSM) will it work in the Czech Republic? I have T-mobile here but want to also use it in the states when I return, not with t-mobile.
Chuck

Assuming you want to use a local carrier's sim in the Czech Rep
It should work on 3G but not 4G in Europe as long as you follow ethmoid's advice and buy only from Apple
When you return to the US then you just have a US model iPhone with no carrier lock

Do I get full conference call management options on iPhone 6 model A1549 if using it with GSM carriers?

I have iPhone 6 model A1549, bought from and currently using with Verizon. You all must be aware that we can use the same phone for GSM carriers like at&t as well. Now we all know that some of the features related to conference calling are not available on CDMA carriers, like we cant have more than 2 callers, and we can't manage conference calls by making the conversation with one party private for some time and again switching back to conference mode, disconnecting a particular party instead of having to end the entire call etc. reference link- iPhone: Understanding phone features - Apple Support These features are available on GSM models and carriers, I just wanted to ask if I use a GSM SIM from a GSM carrier on this model, do I get these additional conference call management options or I am restricted to Verizon like experience while being on at&t (and while using the at&t SIM in this model)

Yes, I am dealing with this right now on at&t with a 6 plus. I've been down the same road as you. I got it to work with a windows phone yesterday but not my 6 plus when I switched back to the iPhone. My wifes 6 works fine. I believe it is an at&t issue and not an 8.3 issue. After dealing through several levels of support at at&t, they are telling me it has to do with their transition to hd voice. Some people are having this issue because they are updating their system and some peoples phone profile, on phones that have hd voice capabilities, are not getting added to their line and call forwarding will not work without it. I have a trouble ticket open to their engineering dept and they promise it will work for me on or before the 24th of april. Engineering has to build my phones profile so call forwarding will work with my iPhone.
This is frustrating because like you, I need to forward my calls because I have no signal in my office and need to forward to another phone so I can get my calls. If at&t would quit dragging their feet and enable wifi calling, this wouldn't be an issue for me. I would suggest you put more pressure on at&t and escalate this until it gets resolved. Or put your sim in a phone that does not have hd voice capability and see if it works then.
Good luck. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this will be fixed for me on or before the 24th. We'll see.
EDIT: I see you did put it in another phone and it worked. That backs up that the issue is at&t and their hd voice upgrades. They had no explanation as to why some work and some don't, but have them make sure a profile for your phone is on the line. If not, they'll need to build one for the phone so that it''l work. At least that's the story for now. Like I said, I'll know more in a day or two.

If you got the phone from Softbank in Japan the phone will work in Singapore but only roaming with Softbanks sim. They do not unlock iphones bought from them.

Are there apps on your phone right now?
I think one of your apps is causing this.
The only way to find out is to delete them all and then add them one by one to see what app maybe causing this.
Especially if you've gone thru 3 iphones already.
When you restored as new - did you sync back your stuff - apps/music or did you restore from backup?

Can I use iPhone 5 GSM AT&T in US, Japan and Europe

Can I use iPhone 5 GSM AT&T in US, Europe and Japan

Yes on roaming but only on 3G
However if you want to use a local sim only an unlocked iPhone will work but only 3G again
The US LTE bands in US shipped iP5 will not work in Europe or Japan
@serdriver There is NO CDMA in Europe for reference and OP is talking
a GSM AT&T

I'm using iphone 4 for japan version how can do it my iphone can use it in malaysia?

i'm using iphone 4 for japan version how can do it my iphone can use it in malaysia?isit just can use japan sim card only?

You can use your iPhone 4 in Malaysia with a Japanese sim card, but you'll need to enable the data roaming/international feature with your phone comapny/carrier in Japan to be able to use the phone.
Your other option is to get your phone unlocked by your phone comapny/carrier so that you can then insert local sim cards when you travel.
The only ones who can unlock your phone is your phone comapny/carrier in Japan so you need to contact them directly to ask them if they offer unlocking - if not then you are out of luck and have to use the data roaming method.
