    Yes it is possible . My I phone was bought us and works perfectly here . Just make sure you buy unlocked , so that there is no contract and you will be ok . 100 per cent sure .

    That's the whole point, you don't have to unlock it.

    I am of course assuming that you are getting one that was purchased direct from Apple. It is a completely different story if you are buying one secondhand that is locked to an American network.

    Compared with the Apple Ireland store for the same phones:
    €679, €789 and €899 (Source: http://store.apple.com/ie/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone5)

    of course the US prices quoted dont include any sales tax and that depends on where in the US you buy it
