|  i phone, France
I posted a question in the iphone group and got no reply so I am posting here. I think I read that in France the iphone can not be locked to an individual carrier. I went on the Apple site for France and saw that the iphone is available for all major carriers. Here is my question. Can anyone go into an Apple store in France and buy an unlocked iphone or do you have to have proof of service with Orange, SFR or Bouyges? |

So are French iphones limited to 900 and 1800 or are they quad band? Can I go into an Apple store and put in my U.S. t-mobile sim and get minimal functionality useful in the U.S? |

There is only one iPhone 3G (and 3GS coming Friday). They are quad band plus 2100Mhz. If you buy it from a store in France, you better confirm that it is unlocked completely, and will work on a US carrier. If that is the case, you will be fine.
