Cell Phone

I'm moving to Kampala in January and I'm wondering what the best way is to handle my cell phone situation.

I have read about the popularity of phones in Africa. All I hope to have with a cell phone is a device that can communicate locally and be used to occasionally call (or text) the United States. If I could bring the phone into the US and use it there while I'm back for extended breaks, that's a bonus.

Does anyone have some good advice for what I should think about doing? I'm pretty technologically inept so it all helps! Thanks very much...

go ahead and bring any unlocked iPhone and it should work perfectly in Uganda and USA, what you will do when you get to Uganda is just get a simcard chip and thats all.

You get lot of unlocked phones from US and UK at 50% price. SIM card is very cheap. But local calls expensive. When you go you can take back the phone and use there.
