Content: A locked phone would still use the American phone plan. It's expensive to use abroad. But locked phones are cheaper to buy. If you buy a phone with a contract (i.e. for two years), it's probably locked. Share

If your phone is not GSM it won't work. You could buy a cheap prepaid phone over there for about €50→€100 or so (I'm guessing here) and use that. Might be cheaper/easier than sorting out a phone in the USA. Share
