iPhone 3 or 4 from Canada

So then I need an unlocked phone that can use the international freguencies??. Is the cost of a phone in CR still expensive?
Thank you
Stan

I just wondered if anyone has had any problems with buying an unlocked iPhone 3 or 4 in Canada and getting it connected here with ICE.

I noticed that the iPhone 4 has a micro-SIM card and I don’t know if ICE provides those here or not.

My current cell has the regular SIM card…

Thanks

April,
I am no expert but have a little personal experience to share. I have a friend that bought an unlocked iPhone 4 in London. He “trimmed” the regular ICE SIM card down to the size of a micro-SIM, inserted it, and voila all is well. He also uses his iPhone 4 as a “my wifi” connection for his laptop. So he can connect to the internet from his laptop through his iPhone.

My wife and I have iPhone 3s that we brought from the USA. We had them unlocked, put in our ICE SIMM card, and they work great here. I think it cost approx 4000 colones per month to add the unlimited internet connectivity to our regulare ICE cell phone plan. I can now surf the web and pull email from anywhere just like I did in the States. I can also send and receive Text messages internationally which has been very helpful.

Good luck to you and Pura Vida.
