Hello everyone!

I'm a real noob when it comes to these things.
So, hopefully one of you can help me out.
I'd like to know if it's possible to bring an iphone 4G that I bought in Korea to Canada.
If so, is there anything I have to do in particular when I bring the phone back to Canada? I hear the terms "unlock" or "jailbreaking" a lot, so, would I need to do one of these things?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

There's absolutely no problems with taking your Korean-bought iPhone 4 to Canada with you. Just put in in your pocket, suitcase, backpack, or up your rear end and hop on the plane. No one will say anything about it. No need to jailbreak it or anything. You're good as gold.

Unless he unlocks his phone and plugs in a Canadian SIM card, he going to pay "roaming" charges should he use his phone in Canada.

Roaming Charges == Very Expensive Smile

The Korean iPhone 4 will come unlocked by KT. Also, if you're contract is nearing the end for your 3GS, KT will unlocked it for you as well. Heard this announcement last week.

Oh snap! So I can bring it over, as long as it's unlocked...
And I can do that in Canada, right?
