iPhone 4s (US Apple Store Unlocked - to be used in India)

I'll be in US next month and planning to buy an iPhone-4s ($549, Unlocked) from Apple Store there. I am worried whether all the iPhone-4s features (including Siri) would work in India or not ( with Airtel/Idea Sim) ? Also, I have been reading it in various forums that people who did the same (buying unlocked from US store and used in India) had one common problem which is - when they insert India SIM card, the carrier name only shows up on the screen but no signal bar because of which they can not make/receive calls... can just use internet.

Can somebody help me with this ? I want to make these queries clear before I spend $549 on it.

Please suggest/guide.

Do yourself a favor...purchase yoyur phone in India. Yea, an unlocked US iPhone 4S will work in India, but & this is a big but...NO WARRANTY/SUPPORT in India...none. Have an issue, they'll just laught at you & tell you to fly back to the US with your phone.


Your money, your choice.

Thanks for your reply!🙂


It cost US $700 in India. My only point was to save the difference (i.e. $150).

However, I can see in Apple Website that Unlocked iPhones are made to be used internationally -- then I do not understand why people are facing problems when they use it in India (like the one I mentioned in the original question ).
