Does Apple Make Different Iphones For Us And European Market?
2November 1, 2009 by Atila
If my iphone bought in the USA will not work with European SIM cards, then how Iphone could be used in Europe and elsewhere (with Sim cards of local operators)? This would mean that Apple makes different types of Iphones for different parts of the world? Is it right?

Your phone is almost certainly SIM-locked, meaning it will not work with any SIM card not issued by your home network.
That’s the way most phones are sold, especially the discounted ones you get with subscription plans.
It’s a software feature, and can be removed if you have the right tools, but doing so is a breach of contract with your provider while the contract lasts (usually 2 years for new phones).
That’s absolutely right.
