IPhone US to the United Kingdom

Hello

Recently I was good for a second hand U.S. iPhone 5 s of my American friend's brother. We completely reset to the factory settings and removed her t-mobile sim. My UK sim is also t-mobile (UK)... I tried to put in right away, but the iPhone wouldn't accept it (probably t-mobile cannot be exchanged on both continents).

Thus, the new iPhone appears to be locked to T-Mobile. If I unlock this phone, my United Kingdom T-Mobile sim (or indeed any UK sim) will work well in this US iPhone?

Thank you very much in advance for your help,.

No doubt. T-mobile contact US for assistance.

Yes, but if it is blocked you get t-mobile to the United States to unlock. Have your gfs brothers ask to unlock. Only t-mobile in the United States can unlock this phone. Once unlocked, the phone works with ANY SIM; the country of origin is irrelevant.

  • My iPhone purchased USA will work in the United Kingdom?

    I'm visiting the United States in a few weeks and I'm looking to buy an iPhone 7 so I'm here, right in saying that it is unlocked, it will work perfectly once I am back in the United Kingdom with my UK SIM card?

    Hello bigbigdan1000,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your message you will buy an iPhone Unlocked 7 while in the United States and want to know if there is work, when you return to the United Kingdom. You will need to buy the T-Mobile or AT & T version of the iPhone in the United States, a GSM model, so he could work in the United Kingdom. Additionally, make sure that you buy the version without SIM card, you are free to use a SIM card from any carrier that provides service for iPhone.

  • I am Kuwait qnd want to send an iphone 6 s to my dqughter to the United Kingdom

    Hi good evening dear friends.

    I am an Indian national and resident at the Kuwait.

    You want to buy and send an iphone 6 s to my daughter in the United Kingdom.

    Is it possible for me to purchase with my credit card of the Kuwait.

    Thks for your time. Best regards.

    Is your daughter permanently or temporarily to the United Kingdom?  I request, because that could make a difference on where and how the iPhone gets repaired if necessary or what Apple support may be available.  If I understand it, Apple is committed, only iPhones in the country, the iPhone service is purchased.  If so, which could prove heavy.  In addition, some features (such as FaceTime) not available with iPhones purchased in some countries (I think that the Kuwait is one - but not positive).

    One recommendation to consider is buying a gift card from Apple for the iPhone, send it to your daughter and let her buy the iPhone in the United Kingdom.  Just a thought.

  • Apple replaces iPhone 5 c batteries free of charge to the United Kingdom?

    My iPhone 5 c screen begins to appear at the top left and top right, I heard that this is caused by a bulging battery, so I was wondering if change the batteries Apple for an iPhone free 5 c to the United Kingdom? I do not have a warranty

    If it's out of warranty which is very doubtful.

    You can take and see what they say. Worse, they're going to say is not.

    If you do not, because you ask something beyond your warranty, be as beautiful and enjoyable as possible. Make it easy for them to decide to do something (if they indeed decide to do something, they can just as well say no)

    You need not buy new Chargers.

    You need to plug adapter American Electric type.

  • Complete list of authorized partners to sell certified pre-owned Apple iPhones to the United Kingdom?

    Some people (Source opportunity of certified Apple iPhone 5, iPhone 5 s in Europe) previosly did not believe that these things exist as opportunity of certified Apple iPhones in the United Kingdom, with Apple warranty of 12 months. Whether it's, let's go to the business!

    Here are three examples:

    Already Giffgaff sold them as well, now, they seem to be out of stock, maybe you'd better check them later (they're cheaper): https://www.giffgaff.com/apple/phones

    I am looking for the COMPLETE list of partners here. But if you don't believe your eyes, you can buy a certified pre-owned Apple iPhones to the United Kingdom in the first place, which will not help the cause, sorry. :/

  • Compatibility of the iPhone in the United Kingdom and Europe

    I hear that smartphones in North America (standard) do not work in some EU countries, but if the phone uses GSM 1900/900 Protocol, this should work.

    I have an iPhone 6... support GSM 1900/900?

    I'll need to wander in the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Greece and Switzerland short time and am a little worried about being out of 'contact' because of this potential incompatibility.

    Thank you.

    The iPhone is compatible everywhere where there is appropriate service providers:

    Mobile phone service provider support and features for the iPhone in Europe

    Getting iPhone in the European economic area (EEA) and Switzerland

  • I want to buy an iPhone that is from the United Kingdom, but I live in Lithuania - guaranteed?

    Hello, I had the opportunity to buy a new iPhone from Apple 6 from a person, but I live in Lithuania and that the phone is from the United Kingdom. How would it be with the guarantees? He said "guarantee international Apple from the moment wherever the phone is activated. I would be eligible to get the safeguards in Lithuania, or I will ship to UK and etc. ? Because I'm unwilling to do that, only in my country.

    The person trying to sell you a bill of goods. There is no international guarantee on iPhones, and you can even ship directly to Apple. It was probably stolen. Stay away from this person... don't believe what they say.

    Good luck

  • Should moving to the United Kingdom I wait to buy an iPhone there

    I'm moving permanently to the United Kingdom and will have to turn in my current iPhone company delivered... should I wait to buy one until I'm there? Concerned about electric current and plug adapters etc.?

    Wait and buy one in the United Kingdom, as Apple warranty will be honored only in the country in which it was purchased, nor will you have to worry about adapters.

  • Why has the United Kingdom iPhone7 still logos FCC and how to make one with them?

    Yesterday I went to the Apple Store to check new iPhone 7/more to those who are disappointed that the FCC, CE logos & ID are always present. Why this has not changed since September of 2015 when the iPhone 6s logos have been deleted in other countries like the United States and Canada ect? I thought that maybe it would be at least one year so that it can enter into force here in the United Kingdom, but no such thing happened. In this spirit and the fact that Apple aren't clearly on this subject, we know how to get potentially an iPhone 7 more in the United Kingdom without these of these annoyances?

    If you're referring specifically for models with screen, those who are not necessarily indicative of what will be the markings on the new phones purchased it. These are demonstration devices that have been specifically configured as such and shipped to stores, very probably the United States. Keep an eye on someone buying a new phone in the store and take a look at the back. That will tell you what you'll see.

    If you are not satisfied, there is no point complaining here. We are not Apple. This is a user forum.
