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!

    No Contract is not the same as Unlocked...

    No.

  • If i bought the iphone 4s from the US would it still work in the UK with a UK phone provider?

    Hi,
    Basically I'm looking to buy the iphone 4s from the american store online or from an american store. If I did this would I be able to get it so that I could use it in the UK with a UK phone service provider? Heard various tales about people not being able to use the phone in the UK so want to make sure it will work before I get it!

    An American retailer will not ship the iPhone outside of US borders. Slightly against laws in the US and in other countries.
    You can purchase an officially unlocked iPhone at an Apple retail store in the US. Support and warranty coverage will be honored in the US only.

    As Ethmoid says, it is still a CDMA phone as I told you earlier, and it will not work with t-mobile. Even if Sprint unlocked the phone, it would only unlock the GSM side for international use. They will not unlock the GSM side for domestic use in the US.

    Try another outlet to make sure that isn't the issue. If it still doesn't work you will need to replace your charger.

  • My camera will not flip from the rear camera to the front. It is the iPhone 5 and I got the ios7. Is there anything I can do

    My camera will not flip from the rear camera to the front. It is the iPhone 5 and I got the ios7. Is there anything I can do?

    Thank you fablepd,
    I tried downloading “Awesome camera”. Seems like a nice App. The front/back switch does not work within that App.
    Switching to back camera in the normal Camera App brings up a blurred picture of what the back camera is seeing and freezes the app. Force quitting Camera App does not bring it back to live until after a long time. Problem still persists.

  • If i buy an iPhone 5s from the United States will the iPhones warranty be honoured in New Zealand?

    If i buy an iPhone 5s from the United States will the iPhones warranty be honoured in New Zealand?

    Warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
    Purchase the device in the country where it is intended to be used.
    Also, be aware that there is no gurantee that an iPhone from the US will work on LTE anywhere else in the world.

  • If i buy a unlocked iphone 4 from the uk would it work if i give it to someone in india

    Yes. But if it ever needs service, it will have to be sent back to someone in the UK. The warranty is not international.

  • If i buy iphone 5 from the usa can i take it back and use it with my UK O2 sim card and how much will a 16gb iphone 5 cost

    Hi,
    if i buy iphone 5 from the usa can i take it back and use it with my UK O2 sim card and also how much will a 16gb iphone 5 cost in the usa?
    thanks
    Andy

    hi there,
    you could buy it somewhere in Europe. I know Apple sells them unlocked here in Germany and if I am not mistaken also (among others) in France and Italy.
    Yet, as Peter wrote, the warranty can become a problem. Not sure whether a one country only rule goes for the European Community as well though.
    As for the price, the 16 GB model costs 679,- € (equals roughly 550 £). Currently there is an average delivery time of 4 to 5 weeks.
    LTE connections will not work with Orange or Vodafone. Only EE is about to offer a compatible LTE network. DC-HSPA and regular HSPA+ will work fine.
    regards, Chris

  • My phone will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I retype the password it says it is wrong. It will eventually work but I have to wait for a message to pop up on my screen to allow me to retype the wifi password.

    When I first got my phone it worked perfectly fine with the wifi. Although later on I began to have problems connecting it. It will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I try to retype the password it tells me it is wrong, although it is right. It will eventually work but in its own time, a message will pop up and allow me to type in the password and it will work. But sometimes it takes an hour or more and sometime it takes 10 minutes. I've seen where other people have had this problem but I don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my phone or if it's with my wifi. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Does this happen with all Wi-Fi hotspots?  A specific one?
    Have you tried forgetting the Wi-Fi connection and then reconnecting to it?
    What about power cycling the Wi-Fi router?

  • Can I use Google Sync to transfer only my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my gmail acct? I don't want to sync info from Gmail to the IPhone. Can the sync work only one-way? I have 0 contacts on my gmail as I'll only use it as a back-up 4 my IPhone contacts.

    Can I use Google Sync to transfer only my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my gmail account? I do not want to sync info from Gmail to the IPhone. Can the sync work only one-way? I have 0 contacts & 0 calendar events on my gmail account. I opened the Gmail account specifically to for the Google Sync and wil only be using this account as a back-up for my IPhone contacts. Please Help!!

    You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
    Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

  • I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw.  However, it will not download from the  "Update" option in CS6.

    I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw  (I was told that the Camera Raw update 8.3, which is available for CS6, included this camera).  However, it will not download from the  "Update" option in CS6.  I have tried over 10 times - it just says update is not working. and I cannot find an alternate way of downloading this file. So I still can use my camera, even thought I paid to upgrade.  HELP please.

    What OS do you have?  You say you have explained what you had (computer/opsys) but I honestly don't see it here.  If you had mentioned that my advice would have been different; I believe you can only upgrade as far as Camera Raw 8.3 on an older Windows system.  There is more information here (look specifically for the "Revert to 8.3 ..." titles).
    Adobe Camera Raw Help | Camera Raw/DNG Converter 8.4 on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista
    What you've done/written in your last post confuses things further, unfortunately.  Photoshop 13.1 is strictly a Creative Cloud version.  The highest you can go is Photoshop CS6 13.0.1.3 with perpetual license.
    And as far as I can recall, that version can work on Windows back to XP:
    System requirements | Photoshop
    I don't think you're out of luck, but you seem to be leaping into doing things without having the full story, and are jumping to conclusions a bit too quickly.
    Here's what I suggest you try:
    1.  Remove Photoshop entirely with the Creative Suite Removal Tool: 
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    2.  Install Photoshop CS6 from your original media or from here: 
    Download CS6 products
    3.  Update the application using its own Help - Updates process.  That really should get you the latest Camera Raw version that will work.  If that does not bring you a Camera Raw that works with your Nikon, use the "Revert to 8.3" instructions above.

  • My old iphone backup date of 1/15/12 on itunes seems out of date.  I just synced it before I am going to initiate my new iphone 5 from the Mac that I just synced with.  Will it pull the recently synced info or the 1/15/12 data?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • 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.
    Regards.

    Maybe. It all depends on how many people are in line ahead of you.

    When you go to order online, it wil tell you the expected delivery date.
    We are all just your fellow users. Just like you, all we can do is make a good guess.
    Best of luck.
