Can I buy a new iPhone to use in the US, abroad?

I shattered/badly cracked my iPhone 5s while abroad. Can I buy a new iPhone in the UK and simply transfer the SIM into the new phone? Will there be any complications buying an English phone that I will put an American SIM card in? I'm on AT&T, and even though there's no AT&T in the UK, as soon as I install the American SIM from my shattered phone into the new one, will the new phone act like it is being used abroad?

The ultimate "milspec" (meets or exceeds US Military Standards) Case for the iPhone. This will get your iPhone safely across the battlefield while it is streaming tunes to your bluetooth enabled thodio A-BOX, so it will certainly protect your iPhone from anything daily life can trow at you. It will protect your iPhone from wind, rain, dust, dirt, 6 foot drops, vibration and much much more.

Yes if it's unlocked. Unlocked phones are not subsidized by the network so are more expensive.

There are no other complications.

If you want to use your UK iPhone in US means, you iphone should be unlocked one.
If it's locked means, you will need to unlock your phone. For unlocking you can approach your service provider or else try to buy an unlocking service from any one of the online unlocking service provider like http://www.onlinegsmunlock.com/apple/rs5wp8/ I hope it will be very useful to you.

  • New iPhone for travel abroad? I'm going to be in Europe for three months and need to get an unlocked phone that I can put a new SIM card in to get a local number. I understand that the iPhone 5 comes unlocked. Does that mean I can purchase it through Verizon on a two year contract and put a different SIM card in it a month after purchasing it and it will work or can I not do that until the contract is up? I want to be able to use it on my family's Verizon plan when I get back.
