Will my sprint Iphone 5 work in Paris, France?
I will be traveling to Paris this summer and I need to know if I need to get like an international plan or something.
I would check with whatever service you have ( sprint etc.) and make sure that everything's ready to go but other wise it should work fine
I believe Sprint uses CDMA phones, which, even if you get an international plan or unlock it and get a SIM card, the signal differences mean it will not work. (IMEI under "About" begins with 9 or 0 I believe)
GSM phones will work though (IMEI begins with 1)
It probably won't. You will be able to Imessage and stuff, since imessages don't directly count into the texting bill. However, in order to call, send regular text messages, and access internet that's not connected to the Wi-Fi, then you will probably need to temporarily update your phone to the international plan.
However, as a frequent traveller, your best bet is to buy a cheapie phone there, and buy a SIM card. The phone will probably cost like 25 euros, and the phone card will have a certain amount of minutes on it that you can use. It's the cheaper option, especially if you aren't staying in the country for too long, and you don't absolutely need your phone.
