Sorry, let me explain what I mean by 'worked!'
My institution provides flip phones for international travel. Most of the time, it's T-mobile.
So what I do is pop the SIM card from the Samsung dumb phone into my unlocked 3GS.
It gets texts and phone calls via the SIM, and I have my iPhone for wifi browsing and all of my contacts and smartphone features.
I have not kept track of the places where the data is 3g; that would require far too much $$ than I have!
I do usually bring my modern iPhone, so that if I really DO need to use cellular data in a meaningful way, I can use my 'world phone' iP5s.
This works for me and for my institution.
EDIT: there was an issue with T-mobile in the Bahamas, so check before you go.
