US iphone

[Ynclanlouise]

Hi
I recently returned from the US with an iPhone my son gave me. I have been using the phone on wifi up to now.
When I try to insert my SA Vodacom pay as you go sun (in SA) I get a message saying network not supported. Is there a way to do this?

Hi it is possible that the phone is locked to one of the USA networks so the phone would have to be unlocked that would be done be the original service provider of the phone. USA also uses different cellular frequencies to South Africa check the model number of the phone to see if it is an international version supporting cellular frequencies for different countries.
