I received an email from Apple letting me know that my phone in Italy should work. The problem is, I'd have to erase it. So I backed it up and saved all my pictures. It seemed to work fine but it was going to take 5 hrs to restore.   At this point, it was already past 10 pm. I realized I couldn't sleep because I relied on the iPhone alarm to wake me up.
