Will a factory unlocked iPhone 4S, bought in Singapore, work in India?

Hey guys.. I just love the iPhone 4S and want to buy it as a mark of my respect for the late Steve jobs. But sadly it isn't available in India. So I asked my friend to pick up an unlocked iPhone 4S from Singapore. My concern is, will it work with the local GSM Sim card in India?
Thx fr your time!

In my personal opinion the 4s is not much different than the 4! I am using both.
The major difference is the camera but the rest including the faster processor still feels the same!!
Anytime now the jailbreak is gonna come out and u will most likely be able to use Siri on the 4 too!!
But no doubt the 4s is a sweet phone!!
I got the 64gb AT&T contract free and it worked perfectly fine in India since the day one!!
Siri works smoothly and is quite helpful... Thou its kinda difficult for her to understand Indian names..
Apart from that no settings were changed.. It worked straight out of the box!
If u can't live without it then buy the 4s but if ur not so much of a ifreak then the original 4 is not a bad bet either!!
Hope I could help!!

  • Will an Iphone 4S bought from Singapore, work in India?

    Hi,
    I am planning to buy an (Unlocked) Iphone 4S from Singapore since I will be leaving for India soon. I wanted to find out if the phone would work fine with any of the Indian carriers (I have an IDEA connection). Also, since the phone comes only with a local warranty I am more skeptical. Although, ideally, since its Apple eveyrthing should be fine with the porduct (I'm hoping)
    Has anyone bought an Iphone 4S from Singapore and is currently using it in India? Are there any issues that you know of?
    Please help me make up my mind

    If you buy a legitimate factory unlocked iPhone, it will work on supported carriers. If you have ANY doubts about the seller, just buy it through Apple. Then you will get a one year manufacturer warranty, etc.
    See here for carriers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937

    Can I use factory unlocked iphone 5 bought from U.S.A in Mongolia?

    yes you can if there are GSM carriers in Mongolia.  If your phone breaks, you will need to send it to somone you know in the US to bring it to Apple for repair.

  • Will a factory unlocked iphone 4s from the apple retail store come with a simcard.

    Will a factory unlocked iphone 4s from the apple retail store come with a simcard.Furthermore will my new phone need to be activated in store or can i do it myself

    No. You'll need to get a SIM from your carrier. Since you won't have a SIM, there will be no way to activate the iPhone at the store, so you'll have to do it yourself.

  • Upgrading to IOS 5 will lock factory unlocked iphone 4 or not??

    I have an Iphone 4 with ios 4.3.3 bb 4.10.01 and its factory unlocked. If I upgrade it to a new Ios 5, will I loose my unlock??
    I know that factory unlocked iphones dont loose unlock if they are upgraded but I heard that IOS 5 will lock the factory unlocked also.

    You heard wrong.  IF the device is officially unlocked by Apple, it will not be relocked.  IF it was hacked to be unlocked, upgrading iOS WILL relock the device to the original carrier.

  • HT1937 Will a factory unlocked iPhone 5 A1429-GSM work in S Korea & USA?

    According to Apple, the model A1429 (GSM) is the one for South Korea- LTE bands 1 (2100 MHz), 3 (1800 MHz) and 5 (850 MHz).
    When I return to the US in 2014 will I be able to use it on Verizon and sprint's network? I noticed that the LTE band 1, 3 and 5 are also supported by those two US carriers.  However, those two carriers use a different platform/technology (CDMA).
    I am positive that the A1429 GSM will use a nano sim card.  What about the CDMA? Please clarify.
    I am contract free as of yesterday and able to go with either of the carriers and be able to factory unlock it before my departure in January 2013. However, the hardware must work in Korea and in the US.
    Another option that I am considering is a factory unlocked iPhone 4S, but I cant find a 32GB.  I am very reluctant with this option as I am afraid that when I return to the US (Jan 2014) things will drastically change and I wont be able to enjoy the new advancements in the mobile tech world because I have a hardware that wont handle them.
    Thank you. 

    Apple does sell the A1429 GSM in Europe

  • 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.

  • Unlocked iphone 5 bought in america work in sweden?

    I bought an unlocked iphone5 from america yesterday. I will go to the Sweden. Is it work in sweden with sweden simcard? Is there anything to do?

    If officially unlocked, it will work just fine. Hope you purchased your phone directly from Apple, because in the US, that's the only place you can purchase an officially unlocked iPhone.
    BTW, you do realize your warranty/support will only be valid in the US, correct? Any issues & you'll have to physically bring the phone back to the US. And, your phone will not support LTE in Europe. US iPhones only support LTE in North America.

  • Can i use an unlocked iphone 5 (bought from singapore) in india?

    Am about to ask my friend to get me a factory unlocked iphone5 from Singapore. Can anyone tell me if I will face any problems in using the phone in India? I am aware of the iOS 6 features that cannot be used in India. Other than that, any network issues, antena problem (like the iphone 4s) etc?

    Not for iPhone. The problem with warranty/support in India is that such is handled by the official carriers, not Apple, and they absolutely will not touch any iPhone not purchased from them.

  • Will a factory unlocked iPhone stay unlocked if sync with another iTunes account?

    I just got my ATT iphone officially unlocked.  If I reset the phone to factory defaults so my daughter can borrow it for her trip to Europe, will it lock again?  She would probably sync it with her iTunes and personalize it for her use.  When she gets back, I will then reset it again and sync it with my iTunes.  Thanks.

    It will not lock again.  It is unlocked,

  • Will a factory unlocked iPhone 4 still work with T-mobile US after being restored ?

    My group messaging feature isn't available in my messages settings section.
    I was told I needed to back-up and then re-store....how ever I use T-mobile US as my carrier.
    Will it still work after the re-store ?

    IF your iPhone was officially unlocked by the carrier it was originally locked to, then yes, it should remain unlocked forever at that point and a restore or upgrade will not alter the unlock.
    However, if your phone was hacked to make it function as if it had been unlocked, then it will almost certainly relock to the original carrier when restored or upgraded (assuming it does not simply brick itself from the restore or upgrade, which is also a possability).
