FAQ
Question: Which version to buy iPhone A1723 or A1662
Answer: Better A1723 it has LTE RF, and in the A1662 LTE Band there is only one there, if it works on the A1662, then it is not a fact that it will work in another city.

Question: Money from the card is removed after sending the phone to an intermediary or immediately after placing the order. Suddenly, the failure will be?
Answer: If the money is written off then there will be no refusal

Question: Tell me in an appstore it is better to order from an e-mail or as a guest?
Answer: Make out as a guest, there are no problems, the only difference is that from under the guest you will not be able to cancel the order directly on the site, you will have to knock on the caliper. You can from under another account, just enter your full name and address of the intermediary, it is important that the name on the invoice is the same as in the address of the intermediary to which you send.

Question: When ordering from apple.com, choose Sim-free or T-mobile?
Answer: The only difference is in the clip for the SIM card tray, in the mobile there is none, in sim free it is. Usually, at the start of sales of sim free there is no, everyone buys the T-Mobile, this year both the Sim Free and the T-Mobile appeared at the same time, order the sim free.

Question: In which state is it better to indicate your address?
Answer: Choose to have your address in Delaware (DL). There is no sales tax - Polyarka, Parcel Post. Maybe others are suitable. See that there is a tax-free state.

Question: Can I order now, and put the money on the card for payment later? Or do they immediately write something off, reserve?
Answer: When ordering, you tie your card to it, two or three days before the specified date (see your delivery date) the money will be debited from it.

Question: Can I order T-mobile not sim free
Answer: Yes (We read)

Question: How about the warranty in Russia?
Answer: There are no problems and limitations, warranty all over the world, including Russia. (We read)

Question: Is there legal unlock?
Answer: Factory Unlocked is a legal unlock, the man himself untied it from the operator. Phones sold on ebay are different and they have different unlock. If you buy the operator you will need to deal with unlock, or through the website operator or people for money. For example you are a US resident and operator bought the phone, net phone (that is, not to steal and no debt), you come to the office of T-Mobile or Verizon, and they loose it, if you are not a resident of the United States you will need to seek outlets on the operator or people in the United States (where it is cheaper than in Russia) that otvyazhut it, and also otvyazhut in the case when the machine clean.

Question: And when importing into Russia through an intermediary of the ShF, for example, you do not fall under customs?
Answer: Everyone gets, intermediaries have customs brokers and on their website you fill out a customs declaration, attach an invoice from the store and a statement of payment from your bank. The broker checks everything and the parcel is sent to you. [/ B] [/ color]

Question: When ordering, you need to pay customs?
Answer: If the amount does not exceed 1000 euros with delivery, then you do not need to pay anything.

Question: What is the restored smartphone?
Be careful!
RESTOREDPhones come in three types: the restored factory, restored by the seller, the restored "official" service. They are not always marked with the model number that begins with В«FВ», but often the quality is just horrible. Each of these kind of new smartphones you can buy in large stores, such as shares and sales.

A separate topic about the purchase on the websites AliExpress and the like.
Buying on such sites is a lottery. No advice before buying will help - all at your own peril and risk.
The main thing:
- you can buy a phone in absolutely any condition from working to completely faulty;
- there are no separate and proven vendors - you can buy a worker, a problem, and a completely non-working device from anyone;
- devices are restored outside of official services - huge chances to get a phone with a curved body, slots, as well as with an inactive fingerprint scanner;
- the box will be sealed and packaged handicraft, the phone will have a fake, but the new case will give the illusion of novelty;
- there may be any traces of vital activity of past owners inside - no matter how ridiculous it may be, but there may be someone else's sweat, drool and dust, because no one makes serious cleansing while preparing the device for sale;
- accessories in the kit (headphones, charger) will be fake, and a fake charger in most cases quickly disables the device.
If you choose the seller's reviews, you know - the majority of reviews written in joyful euphoria immediately after receiving the device, when nothing more is not really considered not tested and tried.
Also recall that the responses of buyers almost do not mean anything. One person can buy an operating device and write about this laudatory review, and another gets in or off the offending device. This lottery.

Question: What to check when buying?
Appearance, matching IMEI on the box and on the device itself
Check by serial number information about the activation.https://checkcoverage.apple.com/
Lack of slots for 2x SIM cards, TVs, flash drives, etc.
The presence of iOS, not Android or JavaOS.

Although it is possible to visually forge anything of the above, including imei and serial, but the most important and effective way to make sure that the phone works is to completely reset all settings:
Settings - General - Reset - Erase content and settings
After that, the phone with the inserted sim card must be activated (this is important) and fully boot up to the desktop with icons. If the phone has a working sim cardstops at the activation stepthen you have a “brick” in your hands, which you can safely return to the seller.

From the pageorder ->FAQ ->What does “SIM-free” mean?
"When it comes, it is unlocked."

He then unlocked it turns out, but without a contract, you still can not buy :-)

But with the models / LTE no luck - it can be stated.
1662 - American; 1723 - European
In the 7th band LTU amerikos (like the most popular in the Russian Federation, I can be wrong), alas, they did not deliver (.
Both versions of Sim-Free and T-Mobile are 1662. And the others are locked, and they won't be sold to us without a contract.


Generally in Russia 3 LTE bands - 7/20/38

1662 supports 20 range so in theory LTE will be.

I agree, because 38 range at MTS and Megaphone. Much more will depend on the region. In addition, I doubt that LTE’s full coverage is already in the regions.LTE network table

In practice, since spring 2014, I, a resident of Yekaterinburg, 5s 1533 are American, supporting the 20th range, but I have not seen LTE at the MTS as I have not seen anywhere in the city-region, or on trips around the Russian Federation.

And the American 6s wife supports all frequencies and LTE in the MTS perfectly fury. And MTS pancake federal large operator.

Offtop about LTE
1662 does not support 7 and 38 ranges, so LTE will be only for operators with a 20m range (which is the most unpopular of the whole trio of Rashkins)


Posted on 03/24/2016, 2:44 PM:

LTE on the SE is half the trouble.
When buying an A1662, you need to be prepared for the fact that in the event of a warranty shoal, you will not be served in our OFFICIAL Apple service centers, since The model for our market will be A1723.



Rep: (37)
I also ordered T-Modile for insurance, last year orders with sim fries were blocked more often, the support asked why you order sim fries if you are from the USA))), after 5 refusal to buy 6S Plus T-Mobile .... And so two orders for sim free and T-Mobile which I’m sending will take, I’ll give up on the second, well, or cancel the bourgeois.


And I ordered my account. Cancel well and do not care I will wait for the appearance in the CU

This is yes, who has the money and the desire can overpay 10k rubles for a “white” phone. Alternative CU, there are phones for Europe and in the Russian Federation there is a guarantee, but what price there will be is unknown ...



Rep: (6)
Just talked to tech support.

Yes, it is necessary for 4G (for most regions of Russia) exactly the SPrint version.

If for 399 PAY IN FULL - it is unlocked and can be used anywhere,

but try to buy - you need a Sprint account, and there you have to confirm the Social number and driver’s license.



Rep: (0)
Starting with iphone 6, all LTE frequencies are supported in Russia, the latest model with limitations was 5S.

Offtop about LTE
And how can I agree with you, if I open an article on Apple.com on LTE and among the supported ones, I only see the 20 range and do not see 7 and 38?



Rep: (384)
Denpech, my amerikos 5S Sim Free has a model A1533 and accordingly LTE only works on Beeline. Do you have an American 1533 works on mts and megaphone?



Rep: (0)

Bandera's service "Help in buying" is also unlikely to help in the purchase of sprint apparatus,
they are unlikely to buy carrier models for any of the employees.
In general, who wants LTE and an international guarantee - hunt for model 1723.
Perhaps, from the States it can be bought on EbAy, but always with the mark SPRINT UNLOCKED.



Rep: (2211)
Friends. Do not argue with people who do not understand this. I have a huge experience in buying devices abroad. And I'm telling you that if there is no Band 7, then forget about 4G and LTE.



Rep: (0)
What kind of nonsense, I have over 5 years each year to order new iPhones in the US, T-Mobile and sim fries difference vortices only the presence or absence of staples, work fine in our networks, read past threads buying iPhones, 5S, 6, 6S all bought t-mobile or sIM free. Just in the fall to start selling sim free stock is only there for the New Year, and all the people who are in the first and second wave of buying t-mobile and no problems either with work or with LTE is not and was not. SPrint version of the well, well))) Good luck ... And then the Apple tech support in Russia is just about anything on the acquisition and performance characteristics of devices purchased in the US, they do not know a damn and do not understand the American support and our two different planets so that the questions they ask and even more so to follow their advice is still the same stupid !!


Offtop about technical support
Normal technical support, I even managed to use them to remove the Activation Lock from the unit (even mine), purchased in France, which is already about 3 years if not at the guarantee was, which completely forgotten all the passwords, security questions, and enabled "to find the iPhone" . Time, however, was required for this, but nothing bad to say about the technical support. and when I talked about the warranty, I did not mean Apple telephone technical support, and meant Authorized Service Center Apple. And as for the technical support to agree on one thing - their approach delivers a) for each case they have a pattern of words and actions (this is normal), at times, this pattern just ridiculously comes, they behave like robots

Cool the little glass, sir.
In Russia, 7 38 20 LTE frequencies, 3Р– \ 2Р– will work perfectly.
A1662 of these only supports 20 ie sometimes LTE will sometimes not.

On ibey hucksters throw 500-100ue + shipping. It is easier to buy in the Russian Federation with such a course and not suffer from LTE issues.



Rep: (37)
Why does everyone forget band 3? He is in model 1662 and will work for MTS, Tele2 and Yota

Fact - without band 7, LTE will be caught barely and the speed will be at the 3G level (up to 10mb / s).

LTE
Someday it may work, but now it does not work. Model 1533 supports 3 and 20, only to sense? I have not seen LTE for 3 years anywhere and never on my device, although it is turned on in the settings, I also periodically reset the settings of the operator. As it was not, so it is not.



Rep: (1)
Canceled pre-order. He tried to support for half an hour, they don’t want to pre-order A1723, and considering that with almost all frequencies in Russia, A1662 does not work, and he needs it)
