Quite often you can see questions from Internet users about whether we can use an iPhone from America? Can a gadget purchased in the USA on a contract be unlocked and work fine? And most importantly, how to buy a phone in the USA? You will learn about all this from this article.
It is not surprising that our customers are interested in the opportunity to purchase and deliver an iPhone from America. Overseas, such a device costs from $ 99, and this price is very attractive. However, in the first place you always need to remember that it is not so easy to get a top-end phone from the most famous manufacturer at such a low price. For example, the price of iPhone 5 on the website of the manufacturer of Apple is $ 199. This phone is adapted to the operator (American, of course), but this binding can be circumvented by making an “unlock”. It turns out that everything is simple. But what is the problem?
First, you won’t be able to buy an iPhone from America because you don’t have a credit card from a U.S. bank or a U.S. citizen. After all, the contract amount will be debited from the card every month, and the owner must pay more than $ 1,000 for services per year. In a contracted iPhone, these are mandatory items.
Secondly, even if you bought the device by issuing a contract for your friend who lives in the USA and has social insurance, as well as a Bank of America credit card, then the friend will most likely bill you for the contract, which still has to be paid. In the event of a contract break, the owner (in this case, your friend) will have to reimburse the operator, which the latter expected to receive. In addition, you should also consider the cost of shipping from the United States. As you can see, everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance.
Well, there’s another way. If you still have not lost hope to buy an iPhone from America, then you can use the eBay auction. To purchase a mobile device here, all you need to do is seven fairly simple steps:
- register on eBay;
- Create an account in PayPal ;
- Find the phone model you need on eBay;
- pay for the purchase and choose the method by which goods from the USA will be delivered;
- track goods; the seller will issue a special tracking number tracking number, however this service is available only for paid delivery methods;
- receive the parcel.
As you can see, everything is quite simple, however, complications may arise when buying through an eBay auction. So we recommend that you use shipping through USPS Express Mail International. Even before buying, you need to carefully inspect the goods, especially in the case of poor-quality photographs, because you may not notice, for example, scratches or other damage. Everything needs to be checked - you must know for sure that you are buying a working phone.
As you can see, if you make some effort, you can get the coveted iPhone model from America at a pretty good price. Of course, this will not be a new phone on the contract, but you will get the opportunity to use one of the latest models of the advanced manufacturer of mobile phones. So worth a try.
