Buying an iPhone 6 (outside of US) then use it in US?
So I'll move to Seattle, WA in the next several months. I live in Laos (Next to Thailand, if you wonder where it is).
I'm considering to buy an iPhone 6 Plus here, there's 2 models to choose ( Official unlocked US iPhone and official unlocked Thailand iPhone).
I wonder if I buy the US iPhone here and use it in US, will it work perfectly? I'm not sure if I buy the Thailand's and it will work perfectly there. Pros and cons?
Please explain me through all this, thanks!
If the phone is unlocked, it will work anywhere in the world. However, some Iphones have a thing called "sim lock", which means that it will be locked to the first sim you put in it. So make sure it is an unlocked iphone.
If you're planning to use the iPhone 6 in US, get the US unlocked iPhone 6 which will work in both US and Thailand. I'm sure the Thailand version will have different 4G LTE bands some of which are not supported in US. So get the phone from US and you can use the phone in both Thailand and US. If you need US version iPhone 6 factory unlocked at reasonable price, mail me.
- Will I be able to use my iPhone 5 outside the USA after my contract expires? I have a contract with Verizon that is about to expire in a few months. I'm wondering if I can be able to send it to my sister in the Philippines and still work over there if she inserted a Philippines sim card. Or do I have to jailbreak or unlock it?
- Why can't I use internet on my iphone outside of my house? My Wi-Fi works perfectly fine when I'm in my house, but when I'm away from my house i can't go on the internet.
- Should I buy an Iphone 5s from America and use it outside of America? An Iphone s where I live costs around $600.In America it costs around $199 plus a $70 year contract so it seems more reasonable to order it online from America. If I order it from America what would I need to do and what should I know before ordering an Iphone from America and using it in another country? Besides unlocking the phone, what else do I need to do?
- Is it worth it Buying a iphone from ebay that doesn't work then repairing it? If I buy a Iphone 4s that's broken like =Screen, needs a battery, or something except water damage. Is it worth it and is it cheaper than buying a new one. Oh and I will be buying this stuff and things I need to repair it from ebay and ill repair it myself.
