Ans: Your current phone may be compatible for use in South Africa. The basic requirements are that your phone is unlocked and has the 900 and 1800 GSM frequencies, many of the newer phones in today’s markets; particularly the more expensive phones are tri or quad band phones which will work in South Africa.
Even if your phone is GSM and has the 900/1800 networks, it will need to be unlocked in order to be able to accept a different SIM card. If you bought your phone from a major US or Canadian provider, most likely it has been blocked by your carrier.
