All depends on what network he uses there and what phone he has at the moment

If it's a GSM phone it will, if its a CDMA phone it definately wont

San Francisco Cellular-Networks: GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS900, UMTS2100

Bahamas as far as I can find out uses GSM 1900 (possibly also 900 but not sure) so yes it should work

but like I said if the phone he has at the moment is CDMA it wont Also if its 3G 1900 it wont work either.

Edit did some more checking, they use CDMA at 850Mhz, and GSM at 1900Mhz you need to check what network he's on and what it uses, CDMA or GSM
