Where to buy unlocked iPhone in London, UK ?

Hi all,
Next week I should be in London, UK, and I want to buy unlocked iPhone 4. Where is the best place to do so ?
Thank you in advance.

I think you will hav no chance of getting it in store here in London, only have 3 stores at Whitecity, Regents Street, and Brent Cross, all which I have visited and they advice to order online as it will be faster and you will have details on expected shipping and delivery. Regents Street actually said I might have to wait longer than a month...this was 2 weeks ago.
I therefore ordered online, the time to ship when ordered is about 2 and half weeks and delivery is about 3 and half weeks, so 3-4 days earlier than estimated.
This is just based on what I have read on the forums and from experience of my friends, a small minority of people have had to wait full 3 weeks for it to ship and another week for delivery.
My advice put your name on the waiting list on all there stores, if you are in London for 2-3 weeks you may be lucky to get one. If you are here less than 2 weeks order online!

  • Where to buy my iPhone 5 from? I will be living in Canada for a while after 6 months. And returning to the UK regularly so I want an unlocked iPhone so I can use a local sim in Canada and a local sim in the UK to keep roaming costs down. But which model?

    Thank you for you help in advance

    If you buy an iPhone at the UK or Canadian Apple stores, it should work on the GSM frequencies in both countries. LTE will not work as the LTE channels are different in each country and each iPhone sold in each country is only compatible on LTE channels of that particular country. Other wise it should be fine.
    Be aware that only the Apple store (retail or online) sells the unlocked iPhone in the UK. I think the situation is similar in Canada. (It is in the US).

    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.

  • 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.

    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:

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

  • 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.

  • If I buy unlocked iPhone would work on all the networks including Verizon.?

    If I buy unlocked iPhone would work on all the networks including Verizon.?

    No. an unlocked iPhone will only work on GSM networks. The only GSM carriers in the US are AT&T and T-Mobile.  Any of the small, regional carriers that use GSM are actually MVNO's that piggyback on the T-Mobile or AT&T networks. You will have issues with some features using those carriers, most notably MMS messaging and cellular data.
    If you are going to want to use Verizon, then buy a Verizon phone.

  • 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...

  • 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.
