How does an unlocked iPhone 5 work?
Can you just put in any nano SIM card into it and it will work? Can I just go to a telus store and buy a SIM card and put it in the phone then it will work? Do I need to sign up for a plan? I'm confused!
Yes, you could go for & get a SIM & it would work.
Yes of course you'd still have to sign up for a plan, though in a way it is up to you, unless they specify the iPhone has to be on a special plan.
- Will an unlocked iphone 4S work for tmobile if it isn't factory unlocked? I want to get an iPhone 4S and my friend has the iPhone 4 unlocked but i'm worried that if i get it non-factory unlocked it won't work. My uncle tried to do it a couple of months ago and apple said that if it was factory unlocked every time the phone shut off or died it would reset. I was just wondering if the same thing would happen if it wasn't factory unlocked? So if I get it unlocked everytime it will shut off it will reset? That is what i'm worried about.
- Unlocked Iphone, does it work in all countries? I'm considering ordering an iphone 4s off of ebay that's unlocked. It was originally purchased and I believe unlocked in Australia. Does that mean it's "unlocked" in all countries? Or will it only work with all carriers in Australia? Reason I ask is I'm moving to the USA soon, but I need a phone right now while living in australia.
