FAQ: Using an iPhone in Germany and Europe
International Text and Data

Content: For a short-term visit to Europe you can sign up for your carrier’s international roaming plan and data plan. ( T-Mobile USA has the best one. The others charge about a dollar a minute for any outgoing or incoming calls, even local calls.) If you fail to do that and use roaming in Europe, you’ll pay a high price. Without a special plan, data and talk charges can be astronomical. – For a long-term stay (a month or more), you’ll be better off using an unlocked GSM cell phone (such as the iPhone). See more information on this page below. What if I have an iPhone from Sprint or Verizon? If it’s one of the later iPhone models, it will have a SIM slot that can be used with a German or other SIM card. Of course the phone must be unlocked to do that.
