You can choose the network and plan that are right for you. Once your new iPhone is activated, it remains unlocked, which means you can use it with any network that provides service for iPhone.

If you financed your iPhone with your service provider, contact them to verify that you can roam internationally.
Availability of 5G and LTE data varies in some countries or regions and depends on carrier support for certain 5G and LTE radio frequencies. Contact your service provider for more information regarding international roaming policies and rates.
