I am currently working in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I bought an unlocked iPhone 4S from Apple before heading over. Once I got here, I purchased a local 3G SIM card from EthioTel and had it cut to size (they are very large SIMs).
It works fine, I can use my map feature and install apps from iTunes/App store. I downloaded WhatsApp and can text family in the states as long as there is 3G and/or WiFi.
Hope that helps

Are iPhones compatible with Verizon?
The iPhone currently cannot aquire Verizon due to the contract between Apple and AT&T. However, two Verizon employees told the press that Verizon will be available to the iPhone in January 2011. This is just another rumor of course, but there will be for sure and iPhone on Verizon either the summer of 2011 or 2012. If this Verizon iPhone happens, the sales will sky rocket and it would be the most used and successful phone in the world.
Will at and t not have the i phone once Verizon gets it?
I work for AT&T, and I can honestly tell you that AT&T will still continue to have the iPhone even when Verizon gets the iPhone. When Verizon gets the iphone:There are no differences between the phones except that Verizon's iPhone (on a CDMA network) doesn't support simultaneous voice and data as with the GSM version. So you can't surf the web while talking on the phone as you can on the AT&T network (There is no difference except Old Pacbell territories vs Old GTE territories for coverage. Verizon still uses old CDMA technology which only works in North America. AT&T's GSM works world wide) Verizon does have some GSM towers for the BlackBerry devices that run on that network and can be used as world phones but they are very limited tower amounts so the coverage for GSM service is very limited as well (this has been reported by many Verizon customers who use these BB devices-so the iPhone may have the same issue) There is no word on what data plans will be available or be required when Verizon gets the iPhone. Due to Verizon using the old CDMA network instead of GSM, world travel with iPhone may not be able to be used, but word on the will come later. As well no official word is out yet, but when Verizon gets the iPhone, Apple may still choose to limit the amount of free and .99 apps that they will provide to Verizon iPhone users. If this stands true, then you will be able to get more free and .99 apps with the iphone with AT&T than you would with Verizon. Granted no service provider is 100% perfect with there service.
Will the iPhone 3 work on Verizon?
The AT&T version of both the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 are built on what's called GSM radio technology (used by both AT&T and T-Mobile in the US). Meanwhile, Verizon and Sprint use a completely different technology called CDMA. The two standards are incompatible. They use different radios and operate on different wireless frequencies. So, no, you cannot take your existing AT&T iPhone and walk into a Verizon store and simply switch networks. Even if you own an iPhone 4 you will have to purchase a completely new iPhone 4 with CDMA chips in order for it to work on Verizon.
Can you use an iphone with virgin mobile?
No it is only available on At and T and Verizon. Unless of course you illegally hack.
How does the verizon gps phone work?
The verizon GPS phones work by getting a GPS signal to pinpoint your location. You can use Maps if you have an iPhone or Android smartphone, which is perfect.
