Because the iPhone is a quad-band cellphone, International support is built right in. I took my iPhone to Argentina and it just worked on the cell networks there. This video shows the additional drop-down option for carrier selection that you get when you have multiple network choices. Everything worked including EDGE network and Visual Voicemail except CallerID was blocked when people called from the US. As the phone has International assist when dialing, I could dial all my contacts in the US without modification. All in all, a very painless process.

  • Footbollpro: iPhones are "locked" to the AT&T SIM they come with. You have to get an unlocked IPhone to use another SIM.

  • what kind of case is that?

  • That was one of those rubber things made by Incase but it was a little too stretched out. I have since moved to a leather thing that looks similar but I'm not happy with that either. (makes the phone too thick) I'm going to try the hard black plastic case as I hear thats the one to go with these days.

  • do you get this via roaming?

  • You get this when the phone can't find a tower that supports AT&T. It only shows up outside of the country when the phone has to use other frequency ranges. In this case it is using 1900 Mhz.

  • listen i live in saudi arabia i both an iphone from america but how do i work the sim card.....pleace send me back

  • While it isn't supported, you should look into ZiPhone which is a Mac application that unlocks your iPhone so you can swap the SIM card and use the iPhone on any GSM carrier.

see all
