Q: Will my USA purchased iPhone work in the UK?
I am visiting the USA in a few weeks and I am looking to purchase an iPhone 7 whilst there, am I correct in saying that as it is unlocked, it will work perfectly fine once I am back in the UK with my UK SIM card?
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.3.5

Hello bigbigdan1000,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand from your post that you will be purchasing an unlocked iPhone 7 while in the USA and would like to know if it will still work when you return to the UK. You will need to purchase the T-Mobile or AT&T version of iPhone in the US, a GSM model, for it to work in the UK. Additionally, make sure that you purchase the SIM-free version, so that you’re free to use a SIM card from any carrier that provides service for iPhone.
