Buying iPhone 5c from abroad

Anonymous

Hi, going to Singapore soon and thinking of getting an Iphone 5c over there as much cheaper. Would get from an Apple store, so would be unlocked. Would that definitely work in the UK with my O2 sim? Thanks

How much cheaper are they than in the Uk.

Is it enough to warrant having to possibly switch networks ?
