Will A AT&T Iphone 5 Work In India?

If It Will, Which Service Provider Will It Work? Is Jailbreak Required?

IPhone 5 is available in India - http://shop.airtel.com/pages/iphone

Before take from there inform over there they will change in application then here in India it will work, else buy at India only it's available all major network service provider have sale, service & network facility

You need unlock it.

Yes, but that need to be unlocked here. You may have to spend about 2000 to unlock it.
After you unlock it you may use any service Provider…

AT&T network doesn't exist in India. You will need to use a local network like Airtel or Vodafone.

I can confirm that the Verizon iPhone 5 is indeed GSM unlocked. Even though I bought an iPhone 5 from Verizon under contract, I was able to cut down my AT&T Micro SIM, and use it in my Verizon iPhone 5 to pick up an AT&T signal. By doing so, I was able to hop onto AT&T's HPSA+ network, or "4G" as they so ridiculously name it.

AT&T's so-called 4G speeds are nothing like true LTE speeds, but they are a bit better than typical 3G speeds. But the big news here isn't about speed. The big news here is that we have confirmed that you can use a Verizon iPhone 5 on AT&T or T-Mobile, freely, even if you're a brand new customer under contract.

  • Will the internet on my iphone work in India? I live in the US and have a new iPhone 5c. I also have unlimited data with tmobile. I'm going to India soon and was wondering if my data on my phone will work there too. I won't call because I know that will cost a lot, I just want to use the internet
  • Will my iphone model no. MC604B work in India? Currently using this phone in London and is a contract free phone. Will this model work in india? Or do i need to unlock this iphone?
  • Will iPhone 5 (unlocked) purchased from US, work in India? I'm planning to purchase iPhone 5 (Verizon unlocked) 16GB from US to use it in India. I will be using the 3G service available here. Will the phone work with other GSM carriers available here provided it's a nano-sim? My friends are saying that they purchased iPhone 4 unlocked from US, it didn't work in India.
  • Will iphone 5 from other countries work in india? IPhone bought in other countries such as UK, USA or any other countries work in India. It may be the unlocked version. What date might it be released?
