Can i use verizon iphone 5 in turkey?
I live in turkey. I will go to usa and i want to buy an iphone 5. I saw verizon sells iphone 5 without contract. If i buy can i use it in turkey with turkcell gsm carrier?
Seems like you can:
Verizon and Sprint use a system called CDMA (it stands for Code Division Multiple Access - incomprehensible to the average human.) However, Verizon in particular has figured out that it is losing a lot of nice profitable international traffic as a result, and now has phones that support both CDMA and international GSM frequencies. Verizon calls these "Global Phones". The line-up changes every couple of months as new phones are released, but the Blackberry Curve 9370/Bold 9930/Torch 9850, Motorola Droid 4/ RAZR and Apple iPhone are all CDMA/GSM world phones available at the time of writing.
The most significant Global Phones for Verizon and Sprint are the iPhone 4S and new iPhone 5: the first Apple iPhones that work on both CDMA and GSM networks. Verizon iPhone 4 (not 4S) customers are out of luck - both are CDMA-only and will not work in Europe. This means that if you're on Verizon or Sprint and you have iPhone 4S or 5, you can use your phone in Europe and get 3G and regular GSM coverage.
You wouldn't be able to buy it from them because you aren't American.
- Why does electronic devices in Turkey cost much more than other countries? For example an iphone 6s would cost 700 dolars (roughly 1.700 turkish lira) but when you look at the turkish apple store it says 2.600 turkish lira. Plus if you buy from another country you have to pay an arm and a leg to get it from customs. Why?
