    Mmmm depends on the phone model and as the above said ... if it is locked into an american network.
    I did read that if you buy an american iPhone and bring it back here, and then get a software/firmware update then it may not work. But that just might be scary stories from the operators here to keep us paying stupid prices.

    Do your homework before you buy, plenty of internet sites with phone reviews and problems.

    You will have no warranty here. The handset warranty is valid in USA only
