Q: is there a place for a sd card for added storage?
A: Unfortunately, ALL S23 models have no SD card.
A: Yes. This cellphone comes with a chargind cable. It's a USB-C to USB-C cable. But the charger does not come together. You need to use your old charger or buy a new one. But this a wonderful cellphone!

A: Unlocked means you can use the phone for any phone service carrier at&t, sprint, verizon ect..

Q: Will this work in South America?
A: yes, it will, just make sure it is unlocked
