Will an iphone work in the Philippines?
I am planning a trip to the Philippines. I am wondering if I can use my iphone in the Philippines? Will there be an extra cost? Will the internet work?

Best plan on buying a phone there. The pawn shops are full of them. $10 up for a good one. Buy a phone card and you are set. Has any min. on it when you leave give it to some one there you met.

Your Iphone will charge you $3.50 us per minute in the Philippines. Buy a cheap local phone ($10.00 us and up) and use it. You can buy loads for it for very cheap also. I would even buy loads to phone home as the rate is much cheaper than your Iphone would charge you from there. Enjoy your trip, The Philippines is a great place :-) Rick

It'll work but you'd end up paying hefty roaming charges if you are using your home country SIM card/Number. The better option would be to buy a local SIM card from Philippines and use it. But make sure that pre-paid sim card let you use Data so the internet works without any problems.
