Iphone 4

[beerdrinker]

I want an Iphone 4, but I also want to use it in 3 European Countries on a regular basis.

With normal phones I have a sim card for each country and an account in each country so I am not charged outrageous roaming charges.

I would like to be able to do the same with a Iphone (and again miss outrageous roaming charges - this time data roaming)

Is it possible? I believe that Apple now sell "unlocked" Iphones.

Are the sim cards in an Iphone the same as in a regular mobile?

Many thanks

French law dictates that a mobile phone manufacturer has to sell an unlocked version of their handsets there

As far as the SIM goes, IIRC it's a mini SIM? but definitely not "abnormal" - i.e. you should be able to get one from any reputable service provider.

Same applies here, all handsets are simlock free.

iPhone uses microSIM...

Apple sell unlocked iPhones on their website and they cost £499+ they do require Micro SIM cards which is basically just the chip from a SIM card without all of the other material around it.

It is very easy to cut down a standard sim...If you want a contranct phone O2 will unlock the iPhone for free or charge you £15 on a PAYG offering....
