All phones these days appear to be unlocked Andy. Calls back to UK may be expensive but I'd have thought the texts would not be too expensive. ----- Original Message ----- From: ANDY COLLINS To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2012 5:51 PM Subject: [access-uk] Using my phone abroad, does it need to be set up? Hi all - I usually go on holiday, and never use my phone, but it's a bit different this time, and I need to be able to make calls, and send/receive texts. I've just got the new iPhone, and am wondering if I need to do anything to actually set it up for this purpose. I'm with T-Mobile and I'm staying in Europe - Andy
