This week, online stores in Romania will start bringing terminals iPhone 5 bought abroad unofficially (grandparents fall into the same category) and it would be good to be careful about what you buy. I told youin this article ca iPhone 5 it is available in 3 different versions and only one will be compatible with networks LTE 4G which are to be launched this year and next year, and for Romania it would be better to take the correct version. The pattern GSM A1429 it works on the 4G LTE networks with a frequency of 1800 MHz that mobile phone operators in our country have recently purchased and will use, the terminal should theoretically be compatible with them, and you should find this code marked on the terminal box.
If the GSM A1428 or CDMA A1429 model is written on the box, then ask for your money back or ask for the price to be reduced because those models will never work on the 4G LTE networks in our country and there is no point in paying a high price for a partially functional terminal. Romanian online stores have bought terminals from the US in the past and sold them here, it would not be out of the question for them to do the same now since decoded devices are sold there at full price, so be very careful what you buy! From my point of view, an iPhone 5 incompatible with 4G LTE networks with a frequency of 1800 MHz does not deserve an inflated price because it only has part of the functionality and I for one would not pay €7/800 for such a device.
In conclusion, the model GSM A1429 is the one that theoretically should be compatible with the future 4G LTE networks in Romania, it is advisable to buy it from our country, especially since the prices will be "inflated" well at the beginning.
