im from london, and since i am in washinton for a while i wanted to buy an iphone 3gs..i was just wandering if there was a way for the iphone from usa to work in uk when i go back..
thank you for your reply....
i was looking to buy the iphone alone, no contract or nothing... so could i just unlock and jailbreak and use it? is it out for new 3gs? im not worried much about the warranty
 
Yes, it will work in the US or in the UK.

Tricky but sort of do-able.

I think now you have to sign up to and activate the phone contract in the states before you can take the phone away. So you'd need to be a US resident to do that, or get an American friend or family members to do it on your behalf. Either way, you'd still be paying a lot of money for the duration of the contract.

When you get the phone back it'll possibly work straight away but using AT&T's roaming services - which will be VERY expensive.

You could jailbreak and unlock the phone using freely available software and use any UK SIM card, but this could invalidate the warranty. And again, you'd still be forking out for the AT&T contract.

It would probably be much simpler and I'm sure cheaper (after all costs considered), to buy one in the UK.
