Use of unlocked iPhone overseas?
Should I unlock my phone so that I can install a different SIM card when I travel overseas? Are there any drawbacks or complications that I should be aware of?

Hello @wazzle1277,
It's good to be prepared before traveling.
The complications involved with unlocking your device are entirely circumstantial.
If you meet the unlock requirements with AT&T you are free to use your device on a new network. However, if your stay overseas isn't permanent, you are beholden to the unlock requirements of the new network. This may make it difficult to return to the AT&T network when traveling back to the United States.
It is for this reason that AT&T offers international plan coverage. Just review the plans offered and choose the one that caters most to your needs.
Best wishes,
Cleveland, AT&T Community Specialist
