Hi, what a great article. I've learnt a lot from the info you have here but still need a little help.

I live in Australia and will be travelling to the US for one month, in June.

I will be purchasing an iPhone 6s before I go (so it will be an Australian iPhone 6s) and I would like to use this phone as a personal hotspot for my MacBook Pro while in the US. I am a graphic designer and will need to do some work while travelling. I will need reliable internet access with around 10GB of data for the 30 days. I will also need to use the phone to make calls within the US.

But after reading your article, I'm not sure if the iPhone will be compatible with the US network/frequencies. Sorry, I'm not the most technically-minded person and there's a lot of information here to absorb!

I see you mention the iPhone 6 is the most capable phone for global roaming, but I am confused about "700 MHz frequency on Band 28" that is mentioned as a possible incompatibility, relating to Australia. Is this something I should be worried about? Do I need to purchase a particular model of the iPhone 6s for it to work in the US?

Also, do you think I will run into any problems/restrictions setting up the iPhone 6s as a personal hotspot to access the phone's internet from my laptop over there?

And one more question (sorry!), with the iPhone 6, are AT&T and T-Mobile still my only options?

Thanks in advance for any help.
