Buying iPhone in Japan

[thomsonooi]

Hi guys,

I looked at the online apple store for Japan, and they mentioned that their phones are SIM-free. Does that mean that I can buy and bring it back to singapore to use with a singapore local sim card?

Asking because there's lots of comments all over the net, some saying that it works, some says it doesn't. Hoping to get a more definitive answer here if anyone knows.

Thanks in advance!

You have to make sure the model you're buying works here.

According to this website, the Japan and Singapore LTE standard is compatible. Make sure you're buying the GSM model.

Or just check with Apple to make.
