US phone heading to Europe

[ggnictee]

Hey guys/gals,
I’m going to Europe for a month this summer and would like to take my phone. Mostly I’d like to be able to use google maps on the fly, so I don’t get lost.
My plan was just to buy a prepaid sim for whatever country I was in and swap it. I tried searching but could not find the answer.
Will this work? Can a US phone work in Europe? Will our Heroes arrive in time to save the city?
I don't know.
Thanks!

Yes, your phone will work in Europe. The googlemaps feature might not work. unless you sign up for a plan there and get gprs or edge coverage. When you swap a sim you must enter the carrier settings to have internet functionality.
It all depends. I would definitely look around for answers on the forum though.

should work fine as long as its unlocked. just pop in the new sim and you'll be good to go. ohh and google maps will work if your on wifi or have a data plan
