As long as you buy a Cingular-branded phone or an unlocked GSM phone, you're all set...

now that i know that information anyone know any good websites or places that i can go to buy a new or refurbished phone (that costs a reasonable price ) i think that will be better than havin this v220 that might go out on me again. I kinda likethe v551, v330 the phones like that, that have a large internal display and camera. Don't really care to much about blue tooth or video but if it has it i don't mind.
