Best Answer

Are you coming from the USA? If so you may be used to the USA system with multiple incompatible networks. However in most of the rest of the world, all mobile phone networks are GSM, and are interoperable and work on the same frequency. (see this question Is there a definitive reference guide to cell phone standards by country? ), so usually all you need is an unlocked GSM phone. NB: I have no knowledge of Nicaragua, merely extrapolating.
