You can take the 3G iPhone with you on international trips and use the wi-fi function if available. Unless you have an international call/data plan with AT&T you will see "No Service" when you turn on the phone. That is good because the 3G iPhone can and will download data if you have email accounts setup on your phone, send/receive text messages, surf the internet, App. Store or most anything else you do on the phone. The international plans from AT&T are expensive and limited. It's not the same as having the unlimited data plan for using your phone in the states. There are many stories on the Apple and AT&T forums of people who went overseas with their new iPhones and ran up huge, and I mean huge, bills because the phone was used without knowledge of the limitations of their data plan and how the iPhone works.
