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.
Will it be possible to use the iPhone with a SIM card chip, such as are in use in Ukraine?
I just found out that iPhone actually has a SIM card but it will probably be locket to use other Sim cards than AT&T. But if it has a SIM card it can also be unlocked to use other providers SIM card and thus it should be able to work in Ukraine as well. It also depends on the type of network u use in Ukraine, but it should be capable of that....
check this page out about the SIM card:

Hello,

Hi, I'm glad to hear that an iPhone 4 from the Us can be used in the Philippines... But where can I get its lines open to other networks (specifically Globe)... Thank you...
You just need to jailbrake your iPhone and go to cydia search ultrasnow and install ..... Your iPhone is unlock. That simple! To jailbrake your iPhone here in the US is just $20. But I just did my own jailbrake from jailbrakeme.
hello.. im just asking where did u have it unlocked, what is the name of the MALL and what sim network are you using now???... waiting for your reply...
hi, may i know the name of the shop or store who got open ur iphone for another netwrk. my daughter is giving me her iphone which she bought here in japan if it can be opened in the philippines. i would appreciate it much more if u could also provide me their telephone number. thnx a lot. GBU
Are you new in philippines? have you gone to greenhills san juan if you knew this place you can go there and get it done for jailbreakfor 500 pesos
filipino here.
i want to buy an iphone 4 from us. because it's way cheaper compared to buying it from Globe.
anyway, i just visited apple's website (feb 11 2011) and there i found out iphone 4 can be sold at $199
my question is, "yun na ba yun?" (is that it?). I mean, do i have extra fees to pay or something?
because i'm looking for the exact amount (from order to shipping to my doorsteps)
and, what if you don't have a credit card? what's the plan b?
it will be much appreciated if filipinos would reply. thanks!
check it again..iphone 4 cant be worth $199..it is if you plan to buy it with a plan ..but if you plan to buy it and use it in the philippines with another provider then it will cost you $599 + tax!.. also you can not buy the phone from the apple store online but you have to go physically to the store to buy it...pay in cash at the store if u dont have credit card
$199 yes but you ought to have a plan of subscription from at&t for 2yrs otherwise u have to pay pre-termination fee of $200 plus addt'l cost of iphone which is more or less $500.
hi! i'm a filipino living here in the US. that 199$ is the cost of the phone and should have a 2-year contract with the provider. that's also locked to their network. iphone 4 costs more or less 499-699$ without commitment and unlocked.
please help me, beacuse i have at&t iphone also but it cant work here in palawan huhuhu can u help me for this? what should i do?
What did you do to make it open to all networks? Did you jailbreak it? Does it still work the same?

i have the same problem with u too. i got an iphone from canada with telus simcard in it. i havent tried putting other sims like globe or smart. does it work now with you? thanks
I'm from Philippines as well and yes it will work in... Have it unlock first from your provider and insert your smart card.... There u go u can use it as a roaming and in the Philippines... Internet will work as well if there's wifi....
what do you mean by "Have it unlock first from your provider"? do you mean the original sim provider...
what if his already in the philippines and there is no way of getting back the iphone from the originated country.... Can the new sim provider unlock the iphone instead of the original service provider? please reply i have the same situation

Hello im thinking to get a iphone here in japan n just wondering if i get it in japan will i be able to use the phone in the usa?

I need a cell phone that uses SIM card, that can be used in Africa. It could be Black Berry or i-pad phones. Send to me TYPES and their PRICE list via my e-mail
What service in Japan and how much?
Military purposes..
My friend brought his I phone to South Korea and it worked fine! We were really surprised because Korea and Japan have a different network then the rest of the world.
Will the iphone work in Iran?Iran has GSM system.
Iran sucks man why u should have iphone in Iran?
you suck why should u have an iphone go get an education u ignorant dumbass.
WTF MAN! Go die you racist bastard. F**k you!
you'd better learn talking as a human first and next writing in blogs!
yeah just throw out the race card you hippies. Iran does suck as a country, get a brain. iran is one of the most sexist countries and are one of the most anti-semtic countries. So i guess i can spin it and call you racist, you bastard, since you like a sexist and racist country. You are a brainless multi-culturalist who thinks sexist and racist countries are equal. Go take some Ritalin and hang out with your marxist professors. I guarantee i am worth at least 50 times what you are you lazy hippie..
Let's see... Iran has higher math and science ratings than the U.S. It has higher literacy rates. It has existed in some form as a civilized country since before Christ, while the U.S. hasn't even lasted 4 human lifetimes. By stereotyping some anonymous person that you don't even know is from Iran (just lives there), you have shown just how racist U.S. citizens really are. (Oh, and I'll make you a bet. If you aren't from the U.S., as you haven't said it, then you're right, and I'm wrong.)
iran also has the highest rate of opiate users in the world, if u want to go with facts
look at Iran in a positive way, it is the place where Bahai faith is established in 19th century ... & Bahai's believe in Unity of Man Kind.
This is crazy guys!
We know Iran sucks bcuz the government,People in Iran needs technology and that would be nice if apple let us have their product in Iran too!
I wanna register as a developer in apple but i cant bcuz they don't support Iran,like Iran dose not exist!
People are living here and they love other people around the world.Dont be an asshole to say we are Terrorism! its like to say Germans are Terrorism!
Hahaha, I love calling someone out for stereotyping and being racist and then ending your post by saying it shows how racist "American citizens" are, like that's not a stereotype!
Oh let's not mention Irans human rights record and forget about what a huge percentage of it's population left in fear of their lives. Iran seems determined to destroy the rest of the planet in the name of a twisted view of Islam. We should take all the wannabe 12th century Christians and Islamists and let them destroy each other. Just leave the rest of us alone.
Let's not mention f***tards like yourself who can't even separate the dirty government of a country with it's people, the true Iranians. True Iranians are not muslim, and yes we love sex, but who doesn't ? The reason why you're calling Persians sexists is because of the high amount of people living in Iran who have been forced a shitty life where having sex is a taboo and the women are forced to cover themselves with black sheets. Well you'd'become sensitive to anything related to sex, living like that.
You should really learn more about the country before talking sh*t like you're actually educated on the subject in question. Iranians are not muslim, never terrorists, pro humanist, do not hate America nor England (although they both are the reason why the arab mullahs are now ruling our country), and Persia (Iran) was civilized before America and European countries even heard of it.
I agree with you for the most part. But, I think you may be a little confused with the term "sexist"
uh...the iranian president hates the united states...where have you been?! And iran DOES hate the united states..i rather live in a country where we have freedoms + human rights than live in a country with "EXCELLENT" math and science scores.
QUestion: is it alright to say sweeping, negative generalizations about some countries but not others? Is ever U.S. citizen a racist? Barak Obama is a racist? Wycleff Jean is a racist?
I am from the US. I am not a racist. I love and respect all cultures and celebrate our differences. American exceptionalism is an ignorant view ! Long live Neda's spirit !
