IPhone w/ 3g?

Question

Is it okay if i ask my aunt to buy me an iPhone in the states?

but i'll be using it here the Philippines..

what about the service network provider?

Answer 1

That should be fine, as long as O2 covers you there it should be all good! x

Answer 2

The 3G iPhone requires in-store activation. So your aunt will be unable to buy a 3G iPhone that will work in the Phillippines.

The Philippines do have the 3G iPhone coming out (Telecom).

Otherwise if she buys it in the United States, you'll be paying roaming charges since it's supposed to work in the United States.
