I'm planning to buy a FU iPhone 5, as a lot of us are I'm sure, and trying to figure out which of the currently available FU models will support 4G networks in India.
here is a list of the models currently available and the bands they currently support:
Apple - iPhone 5 - View countries with supported LTE networks.
I believe the 4G bands in Kolkata and B'lore operate on 2300 and 2400 MHz; none of the above models support these bands. Does this mean none of the above models will support 4G in India? While I'm not overtly keen on 4G speeds, I do believe it'll become more important 6-12 months in the future.
Any thoughts?
also, attached is a list of prices for a FU phone (/o customs and import fees of course) (from here:Best Places to Buy Factory Unlocked Apple iPhone 5 for Cheap / Discounts | Advices Media)
Note: one can claim a 6% refund if buying from a retail store in S'pore?
