    Ni hao, everyone.

    I'm currently living and "teaching" in Central (Red) China and have been considering getting an iPhone for a while now. A new 4S costs around 500 yoyos out here. But I have some concerns, namely -

    1) If I bring it back to Ireland, can I buy an Irish sim card and use it day-to-day to make and receive calls?
    2) Will the apps work in Ireland if I purchase them in China? (someone told me that they won't, but can't confirm that...)
    3) Will Siri work in China??

    I know I could ask the local Apple store staff but I can't speak Chinese so I couldn't. Anyone who can shed light on the above questions will earn my eternal gratitude and a pair of chopsticks.

    Answer yes once bought through a apple store online or store the phone will be sim free and can be used anywhere in the world

    2) Will the apps work in Ireland if I purchase them in China? (someone told me that they won't, but can't confirm that...)
    Answer best way to do this is to use a Irish or USA iTunes account and buy the apps that way so they can be used anywhere in the world.
    3) Will Siri work in China??
    Answer not 100% sure as it just about works here in Ireland :) but don't see why it would not just go to languages and set to English.

    Last thing make sure it's a real apple store you buy it from as heat on the news there are pop up stores out there selling CRAP idevices
