I live in Pakistan and have an unlocked iPhone 5 running iOS 6. Will it work with all the local GSM network SIM cards used in Pakistan?

Yes, a factory unlocked iPhone 5 is fully compatible with GSM networks in Pakistan. You can use SIM cards from any local provider, such as Jazz (Mobilink), Telenor, Zong, or Ufone. Since the device is unlocked, it will handle voice and SMS services immediately upon inserting the SIM. You may simply need to manually configure the APN settings in your cellular data menu to enable mobile internet, as older versions of iOS sometimes require manual setup for regional carriers.
