Does the iphone5 work internationally?

I'm going out of America with my newly bought iPhone 5. I'm under Verizon contract. Will my Internet and texting and apps like twitter and Instagram work in places like Philippines?

Yes, the iPhone 5 does work internationally. It would be cheaper to buy a local SIM card and put that into the phone for use overseas than to pay Verizon's high international roaming rates. The internet and texting and those apps should work as long as there's coverage.

  • Will FaceTime work internationally? My sister's boyfriend was deported like a year ago and she wants to send him and iPod or iPhone so he can FaceTime with her an their daughter. ISome people said it would work but it's pretty far(he lives in Costa Rica). I know he has Internet connection but Skype didn't work when we tried.
  • Why won't my iPhone 4S make or receive calls when traveling internationally? Celluar data is turned off because i don't want to get charged. My phone worked the first week I was in France.
