Will the contract-free iphone 5 work in europe?

I'm currently in the US, but only as an exchange student and I was wondering if the iphone 5 without a contract would work both in the US and Europe.
Thanks

On GSM carrier networks.

  • I have a local carrier number, if i by a contract-free iPhone 6 can i swap the T-mobile sim that will be in the phone with my local carrier sim? in other words, IS the contract-free iphone also unlocked so it can be used with any carrier?

    The T-mobile phone is advertised to be SIM-free.  This does NOT mean unlocked.  Unlocked iPhone 6's are not yet for sale in the US.

  • Will the T-Mobile iPhone 6 work with AT&T LTE?

    Will the T-Mobile iPhone 6 work with AT&T LTE? This page seems to indicate it will: http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ But I imagine the phone could be locked to T-Mobile.

    What about the contract free one?  It ships with a T-Mobile SIM and is unlocked (e.g. AT&T works with no issues on 4G for me), I'm just unable to get LTE.    I've noticed the "carrier" setting is missing from the Settings menus...however when I navigate to the About screen, it downloads the carrier specific updates, so based upon https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ it should work, right?
    How do you get AT&T LTE on the contract-free/T-Mobile SKU?

  • Does T-Mobile contract-free iphone 5s works in India

    Does T-Mobile contract-free iphone 5s works in India, as i wish to carry one for my bro.

    The clearest answer is - UNLOCKED iphone 5S is not sold yet in US. Same was with 5 or 4S when they came out. Usually Apple does not start selling unlocked models for few month. Will it work or it will not in Argentina or France - no one here knows until they actually try, but it is not unlocked I assure you.
    You however can get unlocked 5c, cause it is not actually new model, just colored 5.

  • Will the Verzion version iPhone 5 work with t-mobile?

    I have been wondering will the Verzion version iPhone 5 work with t-mobile?

    Just to clarify Meg's answer a bit, it will only work at 3G speeds in some cities. Outside of those few areas where T-Mobile has a 3G network that is compatible with the iPhone in the US, you won't even get that. You'll only get EDGE speeds in most of the country.

  • Will factory unlocked/contract free iphone 4s work in trinidad and tobago?

    Bought a factory unlocked/ contract free iphone 4s from the apple store online directly, shipped to a family member and they're bringing it for me tomorrow. I've seen people complaining abt activation issues and stuff. I'm curious as to whether i'll encounter any problems. I shouldn't because my service provider is a registered apple partner (bmobile - they're still selling the iphone 4, haven't upgraded to 4s down here). Anything special i need to do to activate my iphone when i get it?

    US iPhone will not work with LTE/4G elsewhere. This is due to hardware
    in the US iPhone, and cannot be updated.

  • If the contract-free iphone 6 can use my own phone card?

    I want to buy a new iphone 6 plus, but I have already had a phone card and I don't know if the contract-free iphone6 for T-mobile can use my own card.
    And can it be used for 4G and LTE after I come back to China?

    Tthe US Apple stores are not selling unlocked phones at this time.
    All the phones currently for sale are locked to carriers.

  • Can i use the contract free iphone 5s directly in India?

    Can i use the contract free phone bought in US directly in India? Or Do i need to unlock before using it?

    Nothing to do with individual bands it is the set of bands
    Do you think Apple produce different models for fun ,there is no world Wide chip to cover all 4G bands.
    However if you believe you are are right ,why ask and if so do go ahead it is of no consequence to anyone here what you buy
    There are tens of posts asking the same question ,go look

  • Will I be able to use my Tmobile simcard for the "contract-free" iPhone 6 without activating a new number?

    Since we all know that the term "contract-free" is not clear for everyone - considering so many questions appear to this related topic. Will I be able to use my old Tmobile number without activating a new one? Thanks!

    WWhat do you mean by my old tmobile number? is it the number you use right now with your old phone?

  • Will the find my iphone app work if i sign out of icloud?

    Will Find My Iphone App work if I sign out of ICloud?

    You need to log into iCloud with your Apple ID under Settings->iCloud to Turn on Find my iPhone for each iPhone.
    With that done, you can use the App on each iPhone to find the other. You do not need to go to iCloud.com.  But you do need to log into the App with the Apple ID you used to log into iCloud in settings.
    You cannot use the App without turning on Find My iPhone in Settings on each iPhone, and you cannot do that without logging into iCloud.

  • Will the T-Mobile Iphone 6  work on ATT?

    I have ATT and I want to buy the 6+ off contract at the 749.00 retail price. However the only model offered is a T-Mobile model which like ATT is GSM and unlocked so it should work right?

    Yes, but not until T-Mobile unlocks it for you. It's no contract, not unlocked.

  • A contract-free iPhone 6 Plus from Verizon could be used in Mexico?

    Hi, I live in Mexico an I will go to WA an NY next month, I would like to buy the Contract-Free iPhone 6 Plus from Verizon, I have heard that if I buy the iPhone of Verizon it will be unlocked and it could be used in Mexico.
    Is this true? What should I ask them to be sure it will work?
      Thanks!!

    No. Verizon does not sell a contract-free iPhone nor one that is unlocked. T-Mobile sells the iPhone contract-free, but it will be locked to T-Mobile's service for 40 days after purchase. Then they can be asked to unlock it.

    If you want an unlocked iPhone then you have to wait until unlocked iPhones are sold, yes.

  • Is the Tmobile contract free iphone 5s unlocked? Will I be able to use it with a local network in Ireland?

    I'm thinking about buying an iphone 5s from an Apple store in the US in a few weeks time when I am there. If i buy it from a store is it factory unlocked or do they all come with contracts? If I bring it home to Ireland will I be able to bring it to my network provider (Vodafone) and get a new sim card put in so I can use it everyday in Ireland?
    If I buy it in America, can it only be used in America or does it even make a difference, once it's unlocked? Will I be able to use it and all features fully?
    On the apple website it says you can buy a Tmobile contract free iphone 5s. Is this the same as unlocked?
    Thanks in advance for any answers and help.

    "If you buy iPhone for T-Mobile, it will arrive with a nano-SIM card already installed that you can activate by visiting an Apple Retail Store or a T-Mobile store or by calling T-Mobile. When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5s from a local GSM carrier. For details on LTE support, see www.apple.com/iphone/LTE."
    If you buy it from the Apple Store you can activate it when you buy it.
