Question by Marshall J: Could I send an unlocked iphone 4 to a girl in Russia so she could use it?
I’ve been doing a little research, but truthfully I don’t know much about the whole iphone 4 use in Russia. I’ve found enough info to know she’d have to cut her sim card, but that’s as far as my knowledge goes on that subject. I was planning on buying an unlocked iphone 4 off eBay for her, but it wouldn’t pay if she couldn’t use it in Russia. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

The iPhone 4 uses a Micro-Sim so if she has a regular SIM card, she will have to cut it. I have seen reports that cutting the SIM card does actually work! Just make sure she doesn’t cut over the metal part… In the link, there are cool step-by-step instructions on how to do so.
And she can indeed use the iPhone 4 in Russia if it is on a GSM Network. And make sure the company she uses actually used SIM cards because Verizon doesn’t use SIM cards. Good Luck!

Well if they have GSM carriers in Russia & the iPhone 4 is indeed unlocked & the SIM is the right format (cut SIM or a microSIM) then by all means it will work.
