Question iPhone in Guam

I'm moving to Guam next month and was wondering how to get an iPhone out there. None of the local carriers on Guam advertise the iPhone but they're all GSM networks. So I'm guessing that unlocking / jailbreaking a phone I buy stateside before I go is the only way, huh? The AT&T international plans are just too ridiculous to use out there.

Yeah, if they have a GSM network there, it will work fine. You could also look into getting a factory unlocked phone so you don't have to bother with software unlocks. I liked Guam, I went to Andersen AFB a couple times when I was in the military. Great Scuba diving!

I remember it was hard to get used to driving on the right side of the road again. That was weird.

A small beautiful island in the south pacific with blue skies and warm waters. No snow and you can wear shorts on Christmas. My kind of place.

Beware of the Habu though
