    If I buy a USA phone on Amazon.com can I use it in Ireland? or would there be any problems with the phone and mobile phone masts or any differences between networks?
    I will be buying the phone unlocked.

    Depends on the phone.

    Also remember that VAT will due on the total you pay.

    What would the vat rate be.

    What happens , does the courier pay the vat is it.

    Will it always be stopped or is there a chance it might slip through.
