Hello Georgina. As far as I know all unlocked phones can be used internationally. You need to be sure your company runs 3G.

Yes, this phone, if unlocked, should work anywhere wit a 3G connection. I am amazed on how long my battery stays charged. When I bought it, would last about 3 or 4 days, then it started running out of power within 24 hrs. I did something, besides turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which I don't know what it was, and now the battery keeps the power for about 9 or 10 days. Great phone, great camera and good with internet.

I havent been able to purchase a sim card that works for it nor will it keep a charge for more than an hour. Also they wont give me my money back or a replacement phone that will accept an U.S. sim card or phone service plan. So in saying that do some research before buying any phone from amazon that was made and or used in japan. Sorry. Very disatisfied.

Well, you should not have any issue of using it in Asia, I have sent iPhones to my family in Turkey and they use them without any problem. In terms of international warranty, I have no idea how it works, but say problem with the phone is fault of apple they fix it no matter you have warranty or not but if you have a problem with the phone that is because of normal use then you may need pay for it to replace it. You should ask apple store in your country. By the way, the phone's warranty is already expired...Thanks for your interest

I am using mine in Thailand. It is unlocked so you should be able to put a sim from South Korea in and it should work fine.

Thanks for your input. I understand that it has tri ban which means it should operate in Europe and other countries. Perhaps the agreement with Peek and TMobile does not support international roaming? This feature could be standard to allow for overseas sales or future service offers.

Yes , the phone is unlocked so it will work anywhere in the world it's all about sticking in a micro SIM card and enjoy.

This phone was given as a gift. As far as I know, it is operating satisfactorily in a foreign country in Asia.

We have many using the phones internationally, although I am not 100 percent certain on Asia. As long as the carrier is there, it should be fine. As long as Apple has a store there and the defect is Apple related, you should be able to take it in to the store for service.

Hi, it will work in China, Russia, Japan, Mongolia and all over the world, but it will never work on Verizon because Verizon is not GSM carrier, it is CDMA. in USA it will work with tmobile and ATT.

Didn't use it there. Used it in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Philippines. If any of those countries have same it should work, but I did not take it there. I am going in March, so I can let you know after that!

This is not a unlocked GSM I took it to china thinking i could use it. It only works in the USA on att towers. I would try to get something in that same county if you are going to travel.

Yes it will unlocked means it will work with any company even prepaid like strait talk or use it as att go phone. Now to make sure it works in any country you just need to see what frequensy it uses. I hear this phone don't work on sprint or maybe tmobile because they us different frequencys.

Hello A. Feng. Yes, this device will work almost anywhere in the world. I have bought this exact same device on Amazon, and I have already used it in Asia, Europe and in the US. You just buy a local Sim card with internet access, just make sure its enabled. Some you need to activate with some code or pin, you can do this using your unlocked phone or so. I would ask for more details from the store you are buying the sim card from. Good luck. Mark

Not LTE (4G) capable in the USA, only 3G. Will work on 4G network where available in Europe and Africa. I haven't tried yet in Asia but will try when in China October 2014.

I wouldn't know. I have never used it in Asia. But since it works in Africa and since it is a GSM, i would imagine that it would work well also in Asia.
