Can I charge my Amazon Kindle by Mobile Phone charger?
On your kindle it reads +5.25V DC and 500mA.Basically you have to see the Adapter rating which you have or any mobile USB charger.You have to take care mainly the voltage rating on your Adapter which you want get charged for the kindle.Ex: If adapter rating is +5V DC and 1500mA. It is good and in kindle you will have a sustainable +-5% tolerance of voltage. The current output from your adapter is 1500mA, but the kindle only takes how much it requires i.e., 500mA. So by that it takes takes its actual time to get fully charged by consuming 500mA. (Only consumes how it can).If you are charging the device through laptop USB ports. USB2.0 will give different output and USB3.0 will give different current output. It varies accordingly.If you have the current output less than 500mA. It just means that it will take more time to fill the charge to a full load of battery.No harm to kindle if you have all these considerations taken care. You can use any adapter. Make sure you have taken care voltage ratings before you plug in your kindle.
Can I order an iPhone from USA, and unlock it in India?
Possibly. But that is probably risky.You can buy a factory unlocked iPhone from the United States— one that is already unlocked— and begin using it in India freely on any carrier there. That would be the easiest and safest route, so you don't have to deal with being stuck with a locked phone if you get a locked phone from the U.S., and you're unable to unlock it. Anyways, for you, the price wouldn't be different for a locked or unlocked iPhone here— as you would be paying full retail price anyways, and you cannot get a contract/financing deal and then abandon it hoping you can unlock your iPhone.
Is an iPhone bought from Amazon unlocked?
I just opened my Amazon UK app. The iPhones are listed as SIM free. Question answered. Amazon appear to have a policy of selling unlocked phones. So does ebay. I also noticed that gearbest and Ali express sell theirs unlocked.
What if I purchase an iPhone from abroad and use in my country?
Let me keep this answer dead simplePros-Cheap price (you will get the iPhone in USA for about 10,000–15,000 INR cheaper.Cons-You will not be covered under warranty for iPhones’ warranty is restricted to its country of purchase.You will be getting the standard US charger, not the indian unit. There would be no difference in power output but you would have to purchase a converter or an indian power adapter (which retails for about 1500INR).That’s it. Personally, I believe it is a pretty decent deal to get it from the United States. No iPhone dies randomly on its own unless it is damaged physically or due to liquids, and apple warranty does not cover liquid or physical damage.P.S. If you are getting the carrier unlocked version then you will NOT face any issue regarding networks, sims, et cetera.Now, regarding the models. Please do not get the carrier locked ones. You can go for any other model (either GSM or CDMA) .
Can I use my sprint phone on any other network? Including prepaid carriers ?
Depending on the model of your iPhone, it's possible that it can be used on other networks. Traditionally, CDMA phones cannot be transferred to another service without being flashed. However, the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 are "world phones" meaning they have both CDMA and GSM (SIM card-based) technology. This was originally intended to help with international travel. You can get on board with "Bring Your Own Phone" (BYOP) programs offered by other providers by taking advantage of your phone's GSM capability. I believe that Sprint GSM technology comes unlocked. That said, I would reach out to Sprint and ask them to fully unlock your phone when your service ends. In terms of services, you might want to check out Straight Talk's BYOP program. They have an unlimited talk, text and data plan for $45 a month that's really awesome. They also operate using the tower's of the major service providers (AT&T, Verizon, etc.) so their service is very good. Another option is Net10. Like Straight Talk the have a BYOP program and uses the towers of the big four wireless operators. They're definitely worth checking out.

Can i just buy a new iphone 5c sim card?
Call MetroPCS and tell them you are bringing your own phone, and would like to activate it on their system. If it's really a Sprint phone, it uses CDMA technology and won't work on MetroPCS's networks. After taking over MetroPCS, T-Mobile has dismantled their CDMA network and has transferred all their existing customers over to their own GSM networks. (GSM uses SIMs) StaightTalk has agreements with all of the Big Four (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint). Their activation kits are sold online or at Walmart. (Kit contains activation for any type of phone; you'll need the Sprint packet for that Sprint phone). Once you have the packet, call the Cust Srv service number to activate. Actually, you may not have to buy anything additional at all. Check out the link below, and enter your IMEI. That'll tell you if you can use the StraightTalk system. You can probably activate online or via Cust Svc telephone. Plan details are the same: Unltd voice/text, 5gb data monthly, for $45/mo.
Can I switch from boost mobile to sprint?
You can always switch carriers. Boost is a no contract company. As far as keeping your number I 'm not sure. And Boost Mobile has the iphone 5c. Only switch if you're getting the Note2. Boost Mobile is more customer friendly than Sprint though, which is why I left Sprint.
Will an iPhone SIM card work in an Android phone?
Absolutely. As long as its the right size. If your Android device uses nano-SIM, then the SIM cards in the iPhone 5 and later will work. If it uses micro-SIM, the SIM cards in the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s will work. If it uses the old-fashioned mini-SIM (or "full-size" SIM), the SIM cards in the iPhone 3GS and earlier will work. All the SIMs will work in any Android phone with any SIM card slot, its just a matter of cutting your SIM or enlarging it using an adapter if it is not the right size for your Android phone. For example: if your Android phone uses micro-SIM, and you have an iPhone 6s, which uses nano-SIM, you will need to get a nano-to-micro SIM adapter (very inexpensive; try Amazon if you don't have one) to pop the nano-SIM into the adapter so it will fit in the larger micro-SIM slot. Conversely, for example, if you have an Android phone that uses nano-SIM, and an iPhone 4s that uses micro-SIM, you will need to cut it from the larger size to the smaller size so it can fit in the smaller slot for SIMs. Or get another SIM. This kind of situation usually doesn't happen; iPhones tend to have smaller (and newer-type) SIM card sizes than Android phones. More than likely, it will either fit fine (from nano-SIM to nano-SIM, for example), or it will need an adapter (from nano-SIM to micro-SIM) so it can fit in the Android phone. Sorry for the longer-than-expected answer on a seemingly simple question!
