[MacTUG] roaming with an iphone

[Dawn Keenan]

I own an unlocked iPhone bought directly from Apple.  It works with 
various SIMs, though I haven't had the resources to verify it works 
overseas.  You can buy a micro sim card cutter to cut a standard SIM 
down to fit in an iPhone, and a plastic sled if you ever want to use the 
cut-down SIM (or any microSIM) in a device that needs full-size cards.
