Thanks. Do you know if it will work with any UK sim card?
If you buy a factory unlock iPhone 4S yes it will work anywhere with any GSM. But again it will be in November or December.

Are you referring to the Micro sim cards? Which are only about the size of the metal connectors that are found on the sim card.

I'll start again because I'm confusing myself now. If I bought the new iPhone from Apple in the UK I would buy it unlocked and then I would choose a carrier according to deals. If I bought an unlocked phone from the USA (as they are a lot cheaper there) would a USA model work in the UK with our carriers do you know please?

Ok to stop confusion there will Not be a iPhone 5 this year, there will be however a 4S instead with which I have hot mine pre ordered as from yesterday, by buying a 4S from America it will be most likely Network locked, so therefore you will need to go somewhere to get it unlocked & then you will be able to out any sim card in from any network ok!
Thank you!
If I wait until November , according to this page: http://www.chipchick.com/2011/10/unlocked-iphone-4s.html then I can buy the 4S from USA unlocked which will save me £114
Can anyone verify that I can buy the phone unlocked in the USA from November?
Unlocked iphones have been available in the US for some time now so for the 4S they will also be available for around 600-700 dollars I think for the 64GB model

Lol. I read that somewhere. I believe flip board.
You could buy a iPhone 4S from the UK, From a provider such as 3G or Vodafone.
Buy, it from the 3G Provider. Because the 3G Provider gives you web world-wide even without a contract either the Networking system 3G, which comes on iPhone. Then you could take it to an Unlocking shop, and unlock it for less than £30.
So it would be Unlocked.
P.s Factory Unlocked is expensiver than the normal Phone provider.
But, In America it says starts from $199 dollars, They mean, you have to contribute that amount of money, and pay monthly. As well as your contract

Well I didn't add tax or delivery. With that being said that is to much money for a mobile phone.
