iPhone SE (A1723) bought from Sprint, will it work global? because apple page states that A1723 is the global unlocked model. https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
The A-number on an Apple product will tell you the hardware version and therefore what networks are supported by that hardware. However the phone could still be SIM-locked. Make sure any phone you buy is unlocked before planning for international travel. The A1723 supports a lot of 4G LTE bands: , LTE2100 (B1)LTE2100 phones support LTE 1900 / 2100MHz (IMT, also refferred as LTE Band 1) band (downlink: 2110 - 2170 MHz, uplink: 1920 - 1980 MHz), LTE1900 (B2)LTE1900 phones support LTE 1900 MHz (PCS , also referred as LTE Band 2) band (downlink: 1930 - 1990 MHz, uplink: 1850 - 1910 MHz), LTE1800 (B3)LTE1800 phones support LTE 1800 MHz (LTE Band 3) band (downlink: 1805 - 1880 MHz, uplink: 1710 - 1785 MHz), LTE1700/2100 (B4)LTE1700/2100 phones support LTE 1700 / 2100 MHz (AWS also referred as LTE Band 4) band (downlink: 2110 - 2155 MHz, uplink: 1710 - 1755 MHz), LTE850 (B5)LTE850 phones support LTE 850 MHz (LTE Band 5) band (downlink: 869 - 894 MHz, uplink: 824 - 849 MHz), LTE2600 (B7)LTE2600 phones support LTE 2600 MHz (LTE Band 7) band (downlink: 2620 - 2690 MHz, uplink: 2500 - 2570 MHz), LTE900 (B8)LTE900 phones support LTE 900 MHz (LTE Band 8) band (downlink: 925 - 960 MHz, uplink: 880 - 915 MHz), LTE700 (B12)LTE700 phones support LTE 700 MHz (LTE Band 12) band (downlink: 728 - 746 MHz, uplink: 698 - 716 MHz), LTE700 (B17)LTE700 phones support LTE 700 MHz (LTE Band 17) band (downlink: 734 - 746 MHz, uplink: 704 - 716 MHz), LTE800 (B18)LTE800 phones support LTE 800 MHz (LTE Band 18) band (downlink: 860 - 875 MHz, uplink: 815 - 830 MHz), LTE800 (B19)LTE800 phones support LTE 800 MHz (LTE Band 19) band (downlink: 875 - 890 MHz, uplink: 830 - 845 MHz), LTE800 (B20)LTE800 phones support LTE 800 MHz (LTE Band 20) band (downlink: 791 - 821 MHz, uplink: 832 - 862 MHz), LTE1900 (B25)LTE1900 phones support LTE 1900 MHz (LTE Band 25) band (downlink: 1930 - 1995 MHz, uplink: 1850 - 1915 MHz), LTE850 (B26)LTE850 phones support LTE 850 MHz (LTE Band 26) band (downlink: 859 - 894 MHz, uplink: 814 - 849 MHz), LTE700 (B28)APT700 phones support LTE 700 MHz (LTE Band 28) band (downlink: 758 - 803 MHz, uplink: 703 - 748 MHz), TD-LTE2600 (B38)TD-LTE 2600 MHz phones support TD-LTE 2600 MHz (LTE Band 38) band (2570 - 2620 MHz), TD-LTE1900 (B39)TD-LTE 1900 MHz phones support Chinese TD-LTE 1900 MHz (LTE Band 39) band (1880 - 1920 MHz), TD-LTE2300 (B40)TD-LTE 2300 phones support Chinese TD-LTE 2300 MHz (LTE Band 40) band (2300 - 2400 MHz), TD-LTE2500 (B41)TD-LTE 2500 MHz phones support TD-LTE 2500 MHz (LTE Band 41) band (2496 - 2690 MHz) bands However this is not every single band in use today or planned. Example, a small Canadian carrier is already using Band 66 LTE. The iPhone SE above does not support Band 66. Always check that your phone hardware supports the Bands used by your network.
yes, if if you called apple and verified by imei or s/n then it would be correct it should work globally if it is truly unlocked. if not you will have to get your provider or third party to unlock it.
