Buying a iPhone abroad

HHi, I'm travelling to Cancun Mexico next month and I'm wondering if I purchase a iPhone 6 there in a Apple Store,if there is one, can I take it out of the box when I return home to the UK and it will work meaning just charge it up as normal and i can use as normal.

THanks.

Ian.

It mioght work, but it might also be locked to a Mexican carrier which means it will not work and you will not likely get it unlocked for another carrier.


In addition, the warranty will only be valid in Mexico - if you have a problem you will have to return to Mexico to get service, Apple will not accept the iPhone if you send it to them. Nor will Apple-UK provide service on it since it was not purchased in the UK.
