iPhone bought in the US brought to Europe

Hello! I'm wondering if I was to purchase a phone in the US, after choosing the "connect to any carrier later" and bring it to Europe (where I live), would I be able to use it with my current carrier SIM card or are there some blockages and if so, how to do it then?

Oh. That changes things a little bit. Do you know if it works like that as well for the UK?

If you are asking about the iPhone 14, the models sold in the U.S. do NOT have a SIM card tray, so it would be better to buy the phone in the country where it will be used most of the time......since an iPhone purchased in the U.S. will NOT have any kind of warranty in another country.


If you are asking about another model of iPhone, make sure that the carrier that you are using where you live will support the model you are asking about before you buy.


Personally,, I would buy the phone in the country in which it will be used most of the time, but it's your decision.
