hi i want to get an iphone 5 from canda and i want to know if the A1429 model supports gsm and cdma, also if i want to get it, is there an option for choosing A1429 or the other type?
iPhone 5
CDMA phones are not interchangable between carriers.
If you want to use an iPhone on a CDMA carrier, you will have to get one explicitly for that carrier.
let me tell you my story,
i live in iran and i want to tell my friend to get me an iphone 5 from canada.
and few months ago i bought a sim card that didnt work on few phones like my htc cha cha and an old samsung model, and i called the service and said the sim supports cdma only,
i just want to know if i get the unlocked from canda will i have JUST PHONE CALLS, lte is not supported in my country i just want it for the phone, what should i do?
It is illegal to export the iPhone to Iran or to sell or give an iPhone to anyone with the intent of taking it to Iran.
I'm sorry. But we can't help you.
but there are lots of iphone 5 in shelves in iran, but no garantee thats it
That may be. It is still illegal to export them to Iran or sell them to anyone who intends to take them to Iran.

Does the US still have a list of prohibited territories where the export etc of technology
is forbidden and is in fact a Federal Offence ,Including any assistance in such activities
Yes. Apple aknowledges this in this document: http://www.apple.com/legal/export.html
PROHIBITED DESTINATIONS
The U.S. holds complete embargoes against Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria
The exportation, reexportation, sale or supply, directly or indirectly, from the United States, or by a U.S. person wherever located, of any Apple goods, software, technology (including technical data), or services to any of these countries is strictly prohibited without prior authorization by the U.S. Government. This prohibition also applies to any Apple owned subsidiary or any subsidiary employee worldwide.

It also used to include employees of an American Corp and Subsidiaries world wide ,that was interesting
Hopefully OP will now go away
Opps just read carefully ....still does
Still does. There is a list of prohibited persons on the Dept. of Commerce site. Interesting reading...
That may be true for exports from the United States but he is talking about getting it from Canada.
Canada subscribes to the same list of embargoed countries.
The exportation, reexportation, sale or supply, directly or indirectly, from the United States, or by a U.S. person wherever located, of any Apple goods, software, technology (including technical data), or services to any of these countries is strictly prohibited without prior authorization by the U.S. Government.

That includes Canada and every other Apple subsidiary worldwide

Why are you resurrecting dormant threads? This one has seen no activity in over two years. Additionally, everything Tim said was correct and relevant.
does the A1429 model support gsm and cdma? and when i want to buy it from canada do i have to choose models or is it just one model?
