Hey people, I am not really into tehnology, so i need help 🙂
I am from Europe, wanted to buy iPhone 4s for my lil brother,so I am wonedering if he should be use it there if I buy "factory unlocked"? What does it actually mean, that I have to get some pin or code when I buy it? And what is gevey card?
Some tips could help too, what are most important things that I have to check while buying this phone for overseas 🙂?
Thanks in advance 🙂
iPhone 4S
Factory unlocked means that it isn't tied down to any network, So you can have your provider in the US like Sprint or Verizon, or Att, and be able to use the phone on any Gsm network overseas or on att or t-mobile US which is not really permited.
To get the phone factory unlocked you have to a) buy it outright from apple, or b) get it under contract from any carrier and meet certain conditions for that carrier to unlock the device for you. I believe it is a code that is used to unlock it.
Thank you so much for answer 🙂
So, basically, there is no way that I can buy it on amazon.com for example, even if it says "factory unlocked"?
You could, as long as it is directy from Amazon or Apple. Other then that, amazon is like an ebay, where you never know what you could get. Be carefull.
Thank you again, I will try to be carefull. Def better that I buy it with someone who knows something about iPhones, it's too complicated. Especially because I have to bring it home, and then find out if it will work or not :/
THANK YOU 🙂
Your welcome, have a good night/day. 🙂
