iPhone 4 in Cuba?

[pcpshortbus]

did some searching online but couldn't find anything.

does anyone know if/how i can bring my iPhone with me on a trip to Cuba and get service for it while on the island?

i am assuming i would need it unlocked and pick up coverage from a carrier while there. from what i've read, you need a gsm phone for any carrier there. i'm covered there, since i've got an AT&T iPhone 4.

anyone have any information that could help me out?

thanks!

Yes you can, you'll just need to get it unlocked. Either AT&T will unlock the iPhone for free, or you can purchase an IMEI unlock off eBay for a couple bucks.

Yes, it's quad-band which Cuba accepts. You'd be surprised how many people have iPhones in Cuba.

awesome.

i'm guessing this would work with an original iphone as well? might consider picking up an older one to take instead of a 4
