Hi there,

At the moment I am working in Europe, but going back to live in US. It's so does happen that next month I am travelling to US for work, and I want to buy a USED iPhone 5S 32GB.

My iPhone 4 from AT&T works just fine in Europe, but this far I wasn't able to get clear answers about iPhone 5S:

-I have 'heard' iPhone 5S from AT&T will work in Europe, has anyone tried this?
-Does anyone know of a phone provider which iPhone 5S also works in Europe?
-If I bough iPhone 5S previously from AT&T- do I need to unlock it?
-If I bough iPhone 5S from any provider- do I need to unlock it?
-Would US iPhone 5S work on 4G network?

Thanks much for your help!
