Should I bring my iPhone overseas?

I'm in the Air Force and I'm going to Turkey in July for 15 months and I don't know if I should bring my iPhone or buy a phone over there or what.

Bring your iphone If it is tied to a network you can get it unlocked and use it there. You just get a sim card and stick it in the phone, but it does have to be unlocked. Costs about $30 in the US to get it done.

Imessage is always free no matter where you are, so even for that alone you should have it. Use a local sim there for calling as the ohter poster said.

Greetings from Sunny Florida! Thanks for serving! Don't bring your iPhone unless you can't live without it. Just use a phone over in Turkey. Tell your family/friends that the number will most likely be unusual looking.
