Will the iPhone work in Europe, Asia, etc?

Yes, the iPhone will work overseas, and not just in Europe and Asia. The iPhone is a GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) phone. GSM, which uses narrowband TDMA, was first introduced as a standard in 1991 and is now in place in over 100 countries.

Access to receive and place calls from outside the United States will require additional services from AT&T/Cingular, which you will need to arrange with them before your phone will operate in such a fashion, but the phone is perfectly capable for worldwide use.

I read most of the comments here. I am writing this from Iran. I studied in the US during the 90's.
What I have learned during my 10 year education in the US is that majority of the US citizen beleive what CNN and other US media tell them. The Media that is heavily controled by the Jews.
I think it's best for the American citizen to grab their passport and make a trip to Iran. I am sure this trip will change your mind about who really is barbaric, sexiest, racist, and whatever negative things you say about Iran and Middle easterns.

With love.
Your old friend from Tehran, Iran.

hi, i don't know how this FAQ about usage of iphone oversea thing turned into heated cultural argument...

anyway.. i'm getting a lot of mixed answers here.
1.i'm in Toronto and i got my iphone3G here.
2.my contract ends in about a year.
3.i'm going to South Korea for a year
4. i'd like to use my iphone while i'm there and continue to use it again once i'm back in Toronto after a year.
5. people are saying you can't use it, some saying once you unlock it, u can use it.
6. which one is more accurate?
7. say once i go to korea, i unlock it... then will you still be able to use it once it's brough back in toronto?

sorry i know it seems little retarded to ask questions like this but i just wanted to get a clear answer. Anyone? Thanks!

Hello,

I'm curious, if I buy an iPhone4 in South Korea, will it work when I come back home to the United States?
I'm not going to be in South Korea too long, but I was going to get an iPhone4 when I got back, So I figured I might as well buy one there and just use it when I get back if possible.

Thanks.
