Hi All,

I have an AT&T iphone 5G (==> There is nothing called iphone 5g, it must be iphone 5) and want to use it in Nepal. I am pretty technically challenged  and as such had a few questions.
  1. If I want to use the iphone in Nepal how do i unlock it?   (==>Call ATT  and tell them that you are traveling outside of the country for couple of months and if they can send you the unlock code.. Sprint and Verizon are CDMA carriers and you cant use them in Nepal.. Or search through craiglist, you will find people who will unlock)
  2. Do i unlock it here or can we do it in Nepal?  (===> I recommend unlocking it here, it's cheaper and easy to find someone who unlocks it here)
  3. Do we have to unlock the phone to use any of the apps (Skype,Viber etc)?  (===> No Sir)
  4. Can we unlock an old iphone 3G in Nepal?   (===> You might but it is not convenient doing it in Nepal..so better unlock it and send it to Nepal..not sure if Iphone 3G will support Skype, viber)
  5. Will the unlocked 5G phone function properly once I am back in the US or have anyone had any issues?(===> Does that mean you want to unlock iphone5, use that in Nepal and bring it back to US again.. you should be fine as long as you dont lose that nano sim. One thing that I am not sure is if any Telecom Provider provides nano sim in Nepal..heard NCELL would be providing but you better confirm that)
