Will Iphone 4s purchased in Saudi work in india?

Hi,
I purchased iPhone4S factory unlocked in Saudi Arabia and using it for the last one month.
I will be moving to India in another one week.
As you know, some iPhone features like facetime do not work in Saudi, I would like to know if they will work fine in India.
Lets me know if there is any procedure that I need to follow to remove all the restrictions that I have on my iPhone currently when I move shift to India.
Help much appreciated.
Regards,
Ravi

You will NEVER get FaceTime on your iPhone purchased in Saudi Arabia.  It's removed at the hardware level.  No amount of updating or restoring will ever put FaceTime on your iPhone.  That being said, if it's officially unlocked you'll likely have no problems getting it to work with your supported carrier in India.  You'll just never have FaceTime.

    That is not possible. there is no such thing as a factory unlocked phone from AT&T. All AT&T Phones are by definition locked to AT&T.  The only way to get around this is to ask AT&T to unlock it. But you need to have been paying customer at some point.

    Brand new iPhone 4 (unlocked), got it activated yesterday, and speakers doesn't work, did restore back to factory settings, not luck, any suggestions. This iPhone was purchased in US, currently in India, will Apple support in India?

    There are many threads on this forum regarding speaker not working issues.  You might try searching them.  Hopefully you'll find the answer you need.
    BTW, the iPhone only has ONE speaker.

  • Will iPhone 6 bought in US work with UK SIM in UK?

  • How do I use an on contract iPhone 5 purchased in the US in India?

    I am moving to India for a 6 month work related project in a couple of months and am planning to buy an iPhone 5 on contract here in New York. The contract can be seasonally suspended for 6 months so no issues about breaking the contract. I was deciding which carrier to buy the iPhone on - so that it can be unlocked (in India) and I can use it in India for 6 months, and after that come back to NYC and use it here after un-suspending my account. I cannot afford to buy an unlocked phone from Apple. Here is what I am debating:
    1. AT&T: It is a GSM provider, with most major carriers in India being GSM, it will be a good fit. Wanted to confirm that this will work in India with an Indian SIM, and if it will, will it work on 4G or 3G, and how do I go about it?
    2. Verizon: It is a CDMA device but I heard this comes unlocked even if you purchase on contract. Will this be compatible with a GSM provider in India? If so how, and will it work on 3G or 4G? The advantage here is that I save on unlocking fees which in India ranges from (5000-10000 INR)
    Thanks so much for your help guys. I'm planning to buy the phone this week so your answers will be much appreciated!

    You can not have it unlocked in India. ONLY the carrier the phone is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Anything else is a hack which will void your warranty and is illegal in the US.
    For an AT&T phone:
    You pay the Early Termination fee so that you can have the phone unlocked.
    You do not suspend the contract and you pay ridiculous International Roaming Rates.
    Verizon phone:
    The SIM slot is unlocked. It should work fine with either of the supported carriers in India (Aircel and Airtel) and may work with other carriers in India.

  • Can i buy iphone 4 in korea its working in india

    Can i buy iphone 4 in korea its working in india

    All iphones sold from official sources in Hong Kong are unlocked & will work on any GSM carriers network with the appropriate activated sim, including the USA. Note however, warranty & support are country specific & the phone would have to be returned to Hong Kong for any and all warranty & support issues. Make sure you purchase from an official source, non-official sources hack the phone to unlock it(their prices are often cheaper) and this will lead to nothing but problems.

  • Iphone 6 purchased from Dubai warranty in India...???

    Hi,
    Does Iphone 6 purchased in UAE has hardware & software warranty covered in India as well....????
    As did checked with Apple Call Centre in India and they said 'it's not available'. But when I called Apple Call Centre in UAE, they said 'it's available'.
    Also when checked with legal warranty documents on Apple website and it was mentioned that 'Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the Apple Product.' This statement doesn't provide a straight forward answer as yes or no.
    Will be glad if you anyone can answer the query or provide me some legal document stating the facts....
    Regards,

    Read the many posts from people who have tried to get warranty service in another country.  They are sad/angry when they find out they can't.  They should have asked first, as you are doing.

  • 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 iphone 5S from the US work in Europe?

    Hello,
    I am super excited about the new 5S and since I am currently in the US I am considering to buy one. The thing is - I am from Europe (Czech Rep.) and will be going back in a couple of weeks.
    My question is: Will the iphone 5S work in Europe with the local carrier? From the apple.com website it seems like if I buy the UNLOCKED (available from Tmobile only?) version it should work. Can anybody confirm on that? I dont want to spend 700bucks on a phone that wont work.
    Thanks a lot for your 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.

  • Will iPhone 5 bought from Canada work in Cambodia?

    Hello,
    My friend in Canada will get me an iPhone 5. I would love to know if it has original unlocked and can be used in Cambodia.
    Thank you

    I just moved to Cambodia with my three month old Iphone5 and it won't make outgoing calls.  The local carrier, Mobitel, said it's a common problem with US Iphone5's.  I bought it from Apple unlocked.  Expensive problem to have so far from home.  Any suggestions.  By the way, my wife's one month old iphone5 works great.  Mobitel said it's a commone occurance to have random outgoing calling problems with US iphone5 only.
    Your thoughts?
