A:AnswerThis phone is gsm only(Att, T-Mobile, etc).
No cdma support (no verizon).
Mint website says it is compatible with "most unlocked gsm phones".
This phone matches that description.
I believe it should work OK.
A:AnswerSafeLink Bring-Your-Own-Phone (BYOP) plan requires a compatible or unlocked Smartphone. Most GSM and CDMA Smartphones are compatible. To enable your current phone to work with the SafeLink service we will send you a new SIM Card.
This device is GSM. Make sure you get the correct SIM fro Safelink.

Please try Youtube where you can find technical help
A:AnswerYes, this device will work in Africa, but it depends on the service. Check the bands and make sure they match the service used in your country.
A:AnswerHold down the message or message thread you want to delete. A pop-up menu will appear above up top. Click the trash can icon. Message/message thread will be deleted. If you have chosen to have message deletions verified in settings, the app will prompt you to select if you really want to delete the message.
