Better to buy in Qatar then from USA. You will have to get it unlocked from here, and no Limited Warranty if you buy it from USA...

Better buy an iphone here in an authorized reseller,  which is already factory unlocked. Price difference isn't that much compared buying in US plus you can get one year limited warranty and claim it without any hassle. Settings are just the same  if you buy an iphone anywhere, (just make sure it's a genuine one) and there's no restrictions. :)

factory unlocked iphones are expensive, even in USA u might get factory unlocked iphone double price comparing to the iphone from any network locked.

if u are thinking of saving money, then u will get locked phone, which u will need to unlock and will face problem of upgrading to new versions.

you will not have any warranty for the iphone bought outside Qatar.

there are many negative draw backs for the locked iphone bought from outside with the positive saving money.
