tombile and cingular have service in Iraq. however it is not advised. As its expensive 2.50 a min and only works in limited areas. Not to mention that is how the "bad Guys" find you!

It *should* work, in general cell phone coverage in major cities of Iraq isn't bad. Just make sure your phone is at least tri-band (I would recomment quad band), and unlocked so you can buy a SIM card there (or use Congular's or T-Mobile's international roaming and pay $2.50/min)
