I intend to buy a Samsung galaxy tab A from O2 and send it back to Nigeria. I am wondering if an international SIM card can be used for this device, or if it is limited to O2 SIM cards only

@tj95 As the device is locked to O2, you would have to use an O2 sim and then request an unlock
Once it's unlocked then it will take any sim, even local ones in Nigeria...
