1246249 2011-11-29 20:21:00 Morning all

I have not done any checking at all yet, but if I were to find/buy an unlocked 4S in the US, would it work here? Very vague in a way I know, but just looking for a yes or no answer....

Cheers

so as long as the phone is unlocked, then you should be all good.

Of course, it will charge via USB cable fine.

DO NOT buy from Sprint , Verizon providers. They are not unlocked in true sense of the word even at full retail price advertising "unlocked"

1246253 2011-12-03 11:04:00 I heard that the US iPhone has a smaller sim tray than the NZ one. You just have to cut the sim card down and it works fine. Dunno if this is how it is for the 4S. icow (15313)

All of the iPhone 4's & 4S' use microSIMs. You can either cut your normal SIM down to fit, or get one from Vodafone/Telecom.
