When will be able to buy unlocked iPhone 5?

I want to buy it in US but I need to use it in europe.

An iPhone 5  when available in US as unlocked will NOT work in Europe on
LTE only 3G and the warranty will not be valid outside US

  • 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

  • Hi I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 5in the Middle East. I want to know if I will be able to use my iPhone and all its applications when we go back to live in the US for long term.

    Apple Online Store sells unlocked iPhone in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium (French, Dutch), Brazil, Canada (English, French), China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong (English, Chinese), Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland (French, German), Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and United States.
    You can probably be absolutely sure any other source will be carrier locked
    It also appears that only Zain offer unlocking (of all the ME carriers )  in Jordan and Bahrain
    A ME iPhone 5  ( A1429 GSM )will not  work on US LTE when you return

    The likely problem is your expectations you cant sync using bluetooth these are the supported profiles

    You should wait until December since the warranty for the iPhone purchased in the US if needed will be honored in the US only.

  • When can i buy unlocked iPhone 6?

    When can i buy unlocked iPhone 6?

    You may buy one shortly after Apple begins selling them.
    There will likely be some publicity surrounding this time.

    The warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
    Warranty and support are ONLY valid in the country of origin.  The only exception is the EU where the entire EU is treated as one country.
    If the device will be used in India, buy it in India.
    An unlocked iPhone will work on any supported GSM carrier world wide.  The LTE portion of a US purchased, unlocked iPhone is unlikely to work outside North America as it does not support the appropriate bands used in other countries.

  • Any update on when we will be able to buy tv series in new zealand through itunes ?

    Hi All,
    Has anyone got any updates on when New Zealand will be able to buy TV series through itunes?

    I used to use FileMaker back in the day... when web publishing was primitive at best.
    Do you know whether there is a publicly viewable demo site online that a volunteer could use to examine this problem? I suspect it might be hard for you to provide enough detail just with text. Or perhaps you can post a screen recording illustrating the problem.

    CAn you purchase one at AT and T at the contract price and have them unlock it?
    or is that a dumb question?
    It isn't a dumb question, as it used to be impossible. However, now you can do that as long as you pay the full no-commitment price.
    Here is more information:

    Here is where you can request an unlock.

  • What happens when you buy unlocked iPhone 5?

    When I go to buy a unlocked iPhone, do I need to give Apple a phone number as well? Or do I just go in, buy unlocked iPhone, and walk out of apple store with iPhone and later can put in SIM card?

    Maybe we should establish an iPhone "hedge" market when the iPhone 6 comes around...

  • Am I Able To Buy An Iphone In America

    Hey..I Live In England...And Am Going To America Soon, Would I Be Able To Buy An Iphone 3gS There? And Would It Work Here? x Thanks x

    Same way if I were to buy an iphone in England & activate it on the O2 network. The only carrier that could unlock it would be O2. Even if you bought an iphone in the US & hacked it to unlock it, you couldn't activate it to hack it unless you signed a TWO YEAR CONTRACT with AT&T. AT&T does not permit pay as you go iphones on their network when setting up new service. It would be far cheaper to buy the phone in England on the O2 network & then pay to have them unlock it.

  • Does buying unlocked iphone from U.S. requires unlocking in india...

    Does buying unlocked iphone from U.S. requires unlocking in india...

    Well, the 16GB unlocked iPhone 5 will reportedly cost $649+Tax here (don't know for sure as Apple has not put them on the web site yet).  You cannot buy unless you have a US form of payment, with a US billing address and a US shipping address (they WILL NOT ship outside of the USA).  Or, you could pay for a trip here and buy it in person.  Of course, if/when LTE comes to India, it probably will not work.  And if you need warranty service, you would have to return to the USA to get it as the iPhone warranty is not international.
    All that to save about $100, and get a phone that if it has problems, you cannot even get warranty service on?  If the $100 saving is that critical to you, it might suggest you should be shopping for a much cheaper phone in the first place.
