Two questions.1)If I plan to buy an unlocked iPhone 5 from Canada will the 4G work in Egypt although mobile operators haven't launched it yet? 2)Once the iPhone 5 is launched here,will the unlocked iPhone that i purchased from Canada work?

Factory Unlocked iPhone 4 from Canada not working overseas

Hi all, I'm looking for help.
I purchased a Factory unlocked iPhone 4 in Canada for the purpose of selling it on eBay (to help offset the cost of my own iPhone 4 purchase). It was purchased from an Apple Store in Toronto.
The buyer is in Ireland, he got the phone, put in his 02 micro-sim and gets the following message: "The SIM Card inserted in this phone does not appear to be supported." He has 2 micro-sim cards and both did not work.
Has anyone encountered anything like this? Are there limitations to how unlocked these phones truly are? Any advice or thoughts on a solution?
Any help would be appreciated, I've called the Apple support many times, and they tend to not be very aware of how their own factory unlocked phones work.

This is how I Think it works in canada for the iPhone 4 Factory Unlocked this info is from the apple web site about the I phone 4 is Factory Unlocked only from the Apple web store online only I think.
this is the info that I copied from the Apple web store site I hope this helps you.
Here is a link to the info on the Apple Store Canada web Site

Buy your iPhone from  Apple commitment-free.
It works with the carrier of your choice.  _*Buy your iPhone from the Apple Online Store*_
_*and choose your own GSM carrier.*_ *_You can change carriers at any time._*
It’s easy to set up. Get a compatible SIM (iPhone 3GS) or micro-SIM card (iPhone 4) and select a plan from the carrier of your choice. Then insert the card and set up your iPhone using iTunes on your Mac or PC. With a few clicks, you can start making calls.
It works internationally. Because this iPhone is commitment-free, you can purchase a micro-SIM or SIM card and service from a local carrier at your destination. Or check with your home carrier regarding international roaming charges.

Can I use unlocked iPhone 6 from Dubai in Europe?

I live in Dubai, but I travel abroad frequently so I would like to use my iPhone 6 in Europe, Finland on a different SIM. Will it work there? The carrier I would be using is Saunalahti.
thanks

Yes, if you enable the international roaming feature with your phone company before you travel. However, charges can be expensive, so you need to check with your phone company beforehand.

If i buy Unlocked Iphone 5s from Virgin Mobile can i use it with other operator?(In Europe)

If i buy Unlocked Iphone 5s from Virgin Mobile can i use it with other operator?(In Europe)

You need to clarify where you are as Virgin Mobile are a Global Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) brand however the terms and offers differ in each country.
If you are in the USA the brand is actually franchised and operated by Sprint .
Operating on Sprint CDMA and LTE frequency bands.
The CDMA radio will be provioned to work off of the Sprint towers - This IS locked down and can't be used on any other network -for instance Verizon.
The phones GSM Sim card holder and radios should be unlocked but we won't know for sure until the handsets are available to test.
The models in question are the A1453 - 5S ad A1456- 5C- these support the most channel frequencies of any iPhone , however NOT the all important European LTE band 7 (2600mhz)
So it is highly likely that the Virgin USA model will have unlocked SIM and GSM support will work on all European 3G and most earlier 2 and 2.5G networks however may have patchy to no European LTE support.
Note that comment reqarding 2G (GPRS) and 2.5 G (Often called Edge) - A number of European countries and mobile operators are re-provisionng (reusing) frequencies in the 800mhz spectrum to 800DD (digital) for future LTE and where this takes place normal subscibers without LTE contracts will loose service in some areas.
This is already taking place in the UK - Beware.
Virgin Mobile UK are not currently an Apple iPhone dealership.
And other countries with the band including Canada, France and India I have information about.

Will you be able to buy unlocked iPhone 5s from retail stores in Canada on the 21st?

Hi,
This might be the wrong section, but it seems to be the closest fit for my question?
Anyways, I am planning on buying the iPhone 5 on the 21st in Canada. My plan is to go around 3:30 in the morning(last year I went at 5:30 and was something like 200th in line! and then buy two unlocked iPhones, one for me and one for a friend. I went to the Yorkdale Apple Store in Toronto, Ontario today and they said that they are not really sure, but are probably only selling on-contract phones in store on the launch day. I then however called the Eaton Center Apple Store also in Toronto and was told that they are 100% selling unlocked iPhone 5s from the begining in Canada. I then did the online chat and was told the same thing. So I called Yorkdale back and they still say that they aren't sure but from what they have been told so far it looks like they will only be selling locked phones, and that they will not fully know until the day of, which really is a bit rediculous.
I was hoping that someone knew whether iPhone 5s would be sold unlocked in Canada at Apple Retail Stores.
Thanks,
B

No idea
Apple has not yet made clear the status of the iPhone 6 models they will be selling enough to risk buying and in any case the warranty is NOT nternational
you will have no warranty on a US purchased iPhone
Contract free and unlocked are not the same in US
depends on how much you want to risk your money
You would need the A1586 very unlikely to be available in US in an unlocked status

If I purchase an unlocked iPhone 5 from the USA, would I be able to use the phone in Australia?

If I purchase an unlocked iPhone 5 from the USA, would I be able to use the phone in Australia?

Yes - unlocked means unlocked, but if there is a problem that requires an exchange under warranty, the warranty would be honored in the US only. You would need to return to the US for an exchange under warranty.

if i buy an unlock iPhone 4 from any other carrier can i use it on sprint

No.
Sprint has a CDMA network. An unlocked iPhone will be a GSM phone - compatible with GSM networks only.
If you want a iPhone on Sprint's network, purchase a Sprint iPhone 4 or 4S.

HT3939 Would be possible to buy a contract free unlocked iphone 5s from USA & use it overseas over a GSM network?

Would be possible to buy a contract free unlocked iphone 5s from USA & use it overseas over a GSM network?

Yes.
Only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones in the US, & the T-Mobile labeled iPhone is officially unlocked if putchased from Apple.
But, your warranty/support will only be valid in the US, & the phone will most likely not support LTE anywhere other than North America.
Any issues, no authorized source, outside of the US, will touch the phone, or help you in anyway.
