Iphone5s spring for 450$ will work outside USA?
Currently i live at the US but i travel much to europe, i wanted to buy a new phone.
While i was shopping on ebay i came across an iphone 5s (spring) for 450$ , So i was wondering if i bought it will it work outside USA? Do i need to buy something for it to work? Will it work at every country worldwide?
Yes, it can work but there's a catch. For the price, I'm betting it's still locked to Sprint's CDMA network. Most of the rest of the world uses GSM signals which this phone can do but it'll have to be unlocked from Sprint for that to happen or inserting a sim won't matter because the phone will see it as invalid. You could try Sprint as they only unlock for int'l use only--no domestic US usage by a rival. But being the non-original owner I doubt it. You'll have to get it unlocked via software download. Typically runs $20-25 USD but no guarantees on success rate. Best luck.
Better make sure its not locked and that its not locked to previous owner also.
- Will my iphone5 from sprint work outside the usa? I'm going to buy da Iphone 5 and this summer i'm going to africa and the place I'm going to, every1 uses T_mobile sim card.
- Will iphone 6 factory locked work outside USA? I want to ask if the new iPhone 6 factory locked work outside USA. I will only use it for playing games and using Wi-Fi only. I will not use any kind of sim on it so should I buy the factory locked version or the unlocked version of iPhone 6. I want to save my money if will work outside america. I'm recently in USA but later I will be in Pakistan.
- 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?
- What if I buy an Iphone5s locked on contract and leave USA? Can I unlock it? Say I visit US for 2 days, go to AT&T buy the phone on contract, pay almost nothing for the device and leave US after 2 days and go to France. Can I unlock the phone and still use it and somehow cheat AT&T and get away with getting Iphone almost for free? What if someday i go back to US, will the track me somehow with the IPhone IMEI?
