I bought iphone 5 from japan, can i factory unlock it?
or i can only use gevey sim?

I bought mine in Japan too! Although.

Just go to http://Answernode.com - it has got a free unlocking software up; there's a Mac version and a Windows version though so choose the right one.

Once it is unlocked it will work anywhere so long as you put a local sim card in it
