American iPhone work in the UK?
If I buy an unlocked iPhone from an Apple store in the USA will it work okay in the UK with a UK sim? The sim I want to use is a giffgaff sim. Will the phone still "know" that it is an American phone and I'll then be charged more for using it in the UK even with a UK sim card?
I'm asking this because I have found that iPhones are cheaper from America so I could save money buying one there instead of in the UK, but I don't want to buy one and it then be a waste of money if it ends up costing me more!
If it is unlocked, you can certainly use it with a UK Sim card and you will only be charged the normal UK rate.
Yes, it will work fine. Phones aren't tied to any country, only frequency. (and carriers if their locked).
- Would an American iPhone 5 work in the UK? I'm going to Florida in a few weeks and was wondering if I bought an unlocked iPhone 5 in an apple store whilst I'm there, would it still work properly if I inserted an O2 sim when I got home? I've been researching a little and on the US Apple website it said the unlocked iPhone 5 is available to any GSM carrier. So will O2 work?
