I would like to buy an iphone 5s from USA of $199. So , I want to bring it to my home town which is in India. Can I use it over here likewise?
If you bought an iPhone for $199, then you would have to pay for service from the U.S. carrier for two years, because that price is only if you have a two year contract.
An iPhone 5S that is priced at US$199 is locked to a U.S. carrier. You cannot unlock it to use with another carrier (for at least two years, and then with permission of the carrier).
You can pay US$649 for a 16GB unlocked iPhone 5S in the U.S.
TThe iPhone 5s costs much more than $199.
If the iPhone is $199, then it is a subsidized price from a carrier and will be locked to that carrier until you pay off the phone, in 2 years.
if you buy it in the USA you will have no warranty coverage in India. Warranties are honored in the country of purchase.
if i buy iphone 5s of $199 from usa and bring it to india , can i use it?
