Yes it uses a sim card and a memory card. You can put a micro memory card up to 8gb and a sim card of any country (I have used it with venezuelan, england and US sim cards), and it works fine.

I used it in Africa (Tanzania) just this past September. It's all about your service provider, not the 3g phone specifically. And I didn't change out sims. Just called AT&T before I left and added int'" calls/text for a fee (temporary). Dropped the intl service as soon as i returned to the states

as long it is unlocked phone i am pity sure a sim card bought from egypt eighther of vodafone or mobinil should work perfectly there.

This phone is 2G (GSM) "quad frequency" and therefore is likely to run anywhere in world on 2G voice and data service. However I have no first hand experience in Africa. Please check 2g (GSM) frequencies of your service provider and match yourself in the specification section.

I believe so as the one I bought I used it in Antigua, but I wouldn't recommend this phone as it work perfectly for about 5 mths and that was the end of it, it refused to come on, had it checked and was told that the board was damaged and was not repairable.............

Its not unlocked to be used Worldwide, Im in Nigeria and it didnt work with my SIM so think twice, its locked on the carrier network.You need an unlock code.

Afshin, I travel across Africa somewhat frequently and it works fine. So it really should not be a problem for you. I simply pop in the required sim card (if I have one) of the country I am visiting.

I'm from Costa Rica and didn't have any problem.It has signal, zero problem with language, zero problem with the provider of telephony. I think that you can use in Nigeria!Good luck!

I use mine in Ghana , and I bought a SIM card from a reliable company and I buy monthly data and it works great. I love mine.

The phone is factory unlocked, I use mine in Trinidad and Tobago with absolutely no problems. So I do not see a reason why it will not work in the Bahamas.

Sure! I bought 4 of this phone and send them to Africa and it worked well with the local service providers. The phone is unlock and can work with any sim or network. I have a friend who uses it with T-Mobile and another use it for Simple Mobil. Hope I was able to answer your question today.
