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?
Added (1). I want to be able to use it on my family's Verizon plan when I get back.
Check out amazon they have the iphone 5 unlocked

- Will I need an electrical/power adapter to travel to England? (I live in Canada)? I'm traveling to England next summer to visit some family for a month and I was wanting to bring my laptop and phone along with me. I have a Sony Vaio and iPhone 4 (I don't know if that makes a difference at all). If I need to get one, what type do I buy and where can I purchase one? Preferably not online.
- When I unlock my iphone can I use a prepaid SIM card when I travel? I live in Germany and a friend sold me her iphone 3gs when her contract was up. She said the phone would be unlocked after a certain date but it hasn't yet. If i do this myself will I be able to use any SIM card? I have 1and1 for phone service and when I travel to the states I get a prepaid SIM from tmobile. Will these work on the iphone too?
- What sim to use in USA and what travel money card to take? Anyone know: 1. A cheap mobile sun card that would fit in iPhone 4 that an Aussie could use in the states for a few weeks? 2. Best/ cheapest money/ travellers card to take?
- What happens to the IPhone when you travel? So I was planning on going to Mexico and IIm from the USA and I was wondering can the iPhone still work normal like if I was still in the USA? Or is there a process to be followed?
