Will my vodaphone mobile phone work in Barbados?

Its a nokia phone will it work?

It should... Check your provider to see if you have International services activated.
And read the manual on your phone to see if it has frequencies that will work in Barbados.

Firstly-
Barbados only supports TDMA and GPRS/GSM phones currently. (I don't think I'm missing any others standards?)

Vodaphone luckily is a GSM-standards mobile provider. (Except in the USA where their joint venture Verizon Wireless actually uses CDMA.)

Barbados doesn't support iDEN or CDMA phones but does GSM. so- on that one you're safe.

But things can never be this easy. Beyond that GSM has a few different frequencies,
* in the Americas the frequencies tend to be 850MHz and 1900MHz.
* in Europe it tends to be 900MHz and 1800MHz.

Barbados has 850MHz, 900MHz and 1900MHz. So if you have a GSM phone with "Triband" capability (of frequencies) as your manual would say then you'd be all set... Tri-band phones are usually 900, 1800 and 1900. So with a triband (or quadband) phone while you're in Barbados your phone would pickup the 900 and the 1900 at least.

Just becareful of international roaming fees.

Vodafone works in most countries but you may change networks while abroad, if you have free calls and texts you will more than likely lose it and some networks that you can change to are rip offs.

Yes it should but it might be expensive using it on International Roaming. Check the rate or you can get a World SIM card for all your travel:

Only if you have International service in your plan.
