If I buy an Iphone in the USA will I be able to use it in South Africa?
I want to buy an Iphone in the US and bring it back to South Africa as it is significantly cheaper. I'm just worried that it might not be compatable with our service providers or something. I went to the US in 2006 and my cell phone did not work when I was there - someone told me that not all phones work in the USA and visa versa.
Yes, if you buy it unlocked, or unlock it
you do know, the cheap prices in the US are only with a new 2-year contract with a US-based wireless company, which you will not qualify for.
an unlocked iPhone 5 16gb in the US is $649.99
Yes, it may not be compatible on our networks here in SA, but check with Apple support. You can email Apple support to make sure.
- Will My IPhone Work in South Africa? I have an I Phone 4 and I'm going to South Africa for two weeks. I want to text to my family and friends and occasionally make a call. My local AT&T store says my phone will work fine but they suggest a special program to permit more texting and calling at a cheaper rate but no internal modifications to the phone are needed. Want to make sure this is correct. Anyone traveled to SA with an IPhone?

- 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?
