Will a German iPhone work on a US network?

Probably not on verizon.

  • Wi-Fi on iPhone keeps saying unable to join network (my network name)? How can I fix this! It's been like this for a week but it works on my laptop fine. I tried unplugging it for a few seconds, I tried resetting network settings, I tried turning my phone off then on again, and I know I'm typing it right. I even typed it in upper case AND lower case. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
  • Why won't a German O2 Simcard work in my iPhone 4s? I have just moved to Germany and took my iPhone 4s with me. My iPhone 4s has used an English O2 sim card for the last 2 years, today I tried putting in a German O2 sim card and apparently I can't use it? Why is this? I know that iPhones lock automatically to the first sim card you put in, so the German O2 one should work? What am I doing wrong?
