Will an unlocked UK iPhone 5 work on 4G when it is released in the future?

I am planning on pre-ordering an unlocked iPhone 5 from the Apple website, and am going to be ordering a sim-only deal shortly. My question is whether, when Everything Everywhere (Orange and T-mobile) roll out their 4G LTE coverage and start selling pay monthly sims, whether I will be able to buy one of these and use it in an unlocked iPhone without any issues, as i've heard there are issues with some networks working on unlocked phones.
Thanks.

Thanks for your help, that article seems to say 02 and vodafone won't be able to use those frequency channels, but doesn't mention what EE is able to use.
Found this one site, http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/09/13/4g_iphone/ that says:
"The version of the iPhone 5 on UK shelves will support LTE at 1800MHz, ideal for EE which owns the whole band and for Three which is in the process of acquiring a chunk."
So I think that seems as though my question is solved, and that their will be a choice in the future between EE and Three, which is always good.

  • HT1937 Will apple unlock my iPhone to work on telcel Mexico

    Hi guys , can u helpe to know if apple can help me to unlock a iPhone 3G to use it with telcel Mexico?, I travel a lot to Mexico, but I live here USA, that's why. Thanks for ur answer.

    Apple does not unlock iPhones.  You will need to contact your carrier, only your carrier can authorise the unocking of your iPhone, however I don't believe Telcel support authorised unlocking.

  • Will an unlocked uk iPhone 4 work in Croatia

    I want to buy my mum an iPhone 4 which is currently on the orange network and get it unlocked so that she can use it with a Croatian pay as you talk t-mobile sim card.  Does anyone know whether it will work in Croatia? Also if she has wireless Internet connection in Croatia and I have here in uk will we be able to FaceTime for free?
    Thanks for any help and advice!

    If the iPhone is officially unlocked it will work perfectly with any SIM card and you wil be able to FaceTime via WiFi.  You say you are going to buy the iPhone which is currently locked to Orange and then get it unlocked.  As a word of caution, if you are not an Orange customer or have never established service with Orange for a period of time the unlock request may well be denied as you do not meet the required criteria for unlocking.

    Why do Orange and EE blame Apple for the delays in unlocking my iPhone. 10 months now. What is the exact process that these companies have to go through to unlock an iPhone and is Apple in any way to blame for the delays.
    Indeed how long does Apple take to carry out its part of the process. 
    It seems to me that Orange are just trying to stall me despite the fact that I am out of contract with them now.  I originally paid to have the phone unlocked back last November.  This was never done. 
    I have phoned them numerous times over the last two months but still they haven't done it.  Can anyone advise me and has anyone had similar problems with them.
    Thanks

    I certainly understand that only Orange can unlock my phone.  My annoyance is that they blame Apple so I am keen to know what exactly is Apple's involvement. 
    I presume that Orange have to tell Apple that the phone has been authorised for unlocking by Orange and that Apple then notes that in some way on iTunes so that the user can then complete the process on iTunes. 
    What I would like to know is how much time Apples part in this process takes.
    I would also like to make contact with others who have had similar problems.
    Many thanks

  • When will iPhone have a "range option" when deleting recents calls. The current, one call at time or all, options are not practical.

    When will iPhone offer an "range" option when deleting recent calls. The currents options of "one" or "all" are not practical.

    Really Chris? Yes Really!!!
    You've never used Excel? You can delete multiple rows or columns with ease.
    Yahoo mail gives you an option, by checking a box preceeding the messages, to move or cancel selected (range) messages in mass. I use it daily.
    Outlook and Outlook Express both give you the option to cancel a range of messages, highlight the first message, shift key held, highlight the last message, delete.
    I guess I did not consider browsers or games as stored data when I made the comment

  • I found out that I have some lost contacts on my iphone 5s, they dont appear when I search but if the contact calls me I see their name. How can I get those contacts to be on the list?

    You could check settings > mail contacts and calandars and see if there are any accounts (like icloud gmail yahoo) listed and if they have contacts on. Its possible if contacts were synced to one of these accounts that turning them back on will recover the missing contacts.

  • The new ibook app and ibook update is designed for iPhone 5 operating system.   When my iPhone4 recently updated the ibook app, it created many problems using the ibook to download and read my books.    Can I get the previous ibook app back on my phone.

    Check your trash can on the desktop. The old version is automatically moved to the trashcan. You should be able to move it from the trashcan back to the Apps folder within the iTunes folder. The update that was pushed out was for iBooks to work with iOS 7 not iPhone 5. iOS 7 was released today.

    Error when opening iTunes : iTunes has stopped working '' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly''.
    When I repaired damaged files the problem still exists and also after uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling iTunes.
    My pc is working with windos 8.
    Is there a solution?

    Hey there Rodney274,
    It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I can't read acsm files on my e-reader after transferring them from the pc with ADE. it seems to work, but then when I try to open the files on the e-reader it says "open failure". what's wrong?

    I can't read acsm files on my e-reader after transferring them from the pc with ADE. it seems to work, but then when I try to open the files on the e-reader it says "open failure". what's wrong?

    The acsm file is not the book, it is a ticket to get the book.  I sometimes get library books online, here is what I do.
    1. Start ADE on the computer
    2. Go to library website and find the book I want to download.
    3. Click on the download link
    4. In windows 7 a box opens asking whether I want to open( or run) or save the acsm file
    5. Click open/run and ADE downloads the book into the "Library"
    6. Transfer the book (epub file) to the reader.

  • After upgrading to ios 8.2, my keyboard on my iphone 5s is weird. When i typing a sms, the screen is locking it self. Does somebody have the same problem? Sorry for my bad english...

    Hello Wexxwoxx,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that after you updated to iOS 8.2, while typing a message your iPhone seems to be locking itself. In this situation, there are a couple of different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend. 
    First, I would suggest closing the Messages application completely by using the instructions in the attached article below. 
    Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
    After the Messages app is closed, I would recommend resetting your iPhone using the instructions in the next attached article. After the reset, open Messages fresh and attempt to use as you normally would. 
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Cannot home share the game app purchased at iTunes store. Home sharing music works. Home sharing books works. But, when I try to copy the game app, it says my computer is not authorized. What am I doing wrong?

    Cannot home share the game app purchased at iTunes store. Home sharing music works. Home sharing books works. But, when I try to copy the game app, it says my computer is not authorized. What am I doing wrong?

    I've been struggling with a similar issue myself and just figured it out.  Some of my content had been purchased with an older Apple ID that I don't use any more.  When I authorized my second computer, I only authorized it for my new Apple ID, not my old one.  When I tried to copy my library to the new computer, many songs, apps, etc. reported the error "could not be copied because this computer is not authorized".  It drove me crazy because I knew the computer was authorized and much of my library came over just fine.
    Finally I selected some of the problem items, selected "Get Info" from the menus, and saw that they were all purchased by my old Apple ID.  I then authorized my old Apple ID on my new computer, and all of my files are copying correctly now.
    Would be great if the message said something like "...because this computer is not authorized for Apple ID [email protected]"
