Would our iphone work as is over in Paris? YES, but it will probably cost an arm and a leg. Besides the per minute roaming fee (2.99/min?), the data charges will probably kill you. wireless.att.com google.com The better option is to get a hacked unlocked phone (or just hack your current iPhone) and buy a local SIM (cheap voice pay as you go are common, don't know about data usage) engadget.com google.com

Hi Paul ROAMING will of course work... but if you were asking about using a different SIM local to where you are, my experience is that phones sold in USA are locked with the service provider... meaning, if you change the SIM and put a European SIM, the phone will ask you for an additional password... the "subsidy password". What I suggest, is to go to your service provider and ask for that password if they can give it to you. Other than that, you would have to flash the OS, and upload a new one without the password. regards AV
