• Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does iPhone work with any SIM card or carrier worldwide?

    The iPhone models currently sold on apple.com work with nano-SIM cards and eSIM voice and data plans from compatible carriers or providers.^* And they work on many 4G LTE networks around the world. Contact service providers for details.

    ^* Use of eSIM requires a wireless service plan (which may include restrictions on switching service providers and roaming, even after contract expires). Not all carriers support eSIM. Use of eSIM in iPhone may be disabled when purchased from some carriers. See your carrier for details. To learn more, visit https://support.apple.com/kb/HT209044.

  • Do I need an iPhone-specific service plan?

  • Do I need to commit to a long-term contract for my iPhone?

  • Can I use the SIM card in my iPhone with my iPad?

    No. iPhone SIM cards are not interchangeable with the SIM card in iPad.

  • What is eSIM?

  • Will all iPhone features work with my network?

    The majority of features will work with your network. Certain features, such as Visual Voicemail, require carrier support and may not function on your carrier’s network. Contact your carrier for more details or read the wireless carrier support and features article for more information.

  • Why does the price of the iPhone from apple.com differ from its price from a carrier?

    Carriers typically sell the iPhone with a contract that subsidizes the initial purchase price of the phone. By purchasing your iPhone without a contract, you can use any SIM card from a compatible carrier, including your current one.

  • Can I use my iPhone outside my home country?

    Yes. iPhone is enabled to work on networks using GSM around the world. Because the iPhone sold by the apple.com is unlocked, you can purchase a SIM card and service from a local carrier at your destination. Or check with your home carrier regarding international roaming charges.

  • If I buy an iPhone from apple.com, can I ship it to another country?

    No. Orders placed through apple.com can be shipped only within the country or region of purchase. You can also shop for friends and family in countries where iPhone is sold. Just visit the local store of the country or region where you want your products delivered. Or for fast, easy ordering and expert advice, call an Apple Store Specialist on 1800-1651-0525.
