Though I'm only going in June, I will be spending a summer throughout Europe. I usually just leave my phone at home when I go overseas (I'm a highschool student) but this time I'll be without my family and obviously don't want to be without a phone for 2 months. I have an iPhone 4s now and I was trying to weigh up my possibilities.
I know that I could buy a cheap phone while I'm there, but then I wouldn't be able to use data well/apps on my phone. I came across unlocking it and I was wondering how viable this was. I've heard that some European data plans are INCREDIBLY cheap for pay as you go (I would probably just buy an Orange SIM card or such).
If unlocking my iPhone is the best way to go, please let me know that. Also if any of you have any experience with European carriers, please let me know about that too.
If unlocking it is the best way to go, will I face any possible snags with AT&T/Apple? I'm still on my father's account, so I don't want to get AT&T or someone on his case, so let me know about that too.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
