Hello. Is this phone SIM locked or would I be able to use it back in South Africa?

Hello Flobagob,

I bought it and as far as I know, it should work in South Africa. Keep in mind that it is an open phone. But please do your own research because I do not have a final answer for you.
I can tell you that I tested it with multiple sim-cards from Europe and America without issues.

Here you have more technical information:
Check the "Connectivity" section of the following link https://www.oneplus.com/global...
Look for the "Bands" and make sure that your mobile provider in South Africa is compatible with those Bands (it should be compatible but ask them which bands and frequencies are they using).

I paste here the Bands form that web:

----------
LTE/LTE-A
DL 4CA/256QAM, UL CA/64QAM, 4x4 MIMO
Supports up to DL CAT16/ UL CAT13 (1Gbps/150 Mbps) depending on carrier support

Bands
FDD LTE:
Band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/25/26/28/29/30/32/66/71
TDD LTE: Band 34/38/39/40/41
TD-SCDMA: Band 34/39
UMTS(WCDMA): Band 1/2/4/5/8/9/19
CDMA: BC0/BC1
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
----------

As extra information, for the ones that are interested in checking compatibility in some countries, you can go to the link: https://www.oneplus.com/global... and click the option "Check carrier compatibility".
