yes
Virgin Mobile now uses sim cards and ATT and other carriers only what customers to use their phones, so the phones are locked for use only on their network. If you get an unlocked cell phone you can use it on any carrier that uses sim cards. NOTE: Tmobile and prepaid carriers don't have Iphones on the service.
Wal-Mart and BestBuy are two retailers among others that offer prepaid cell phones for sale. You can purchase these phones brand new without a contract. To get minutes, you would need to purchase refillable minutes cards that work similar to a prepaid debit card. You can purchase an unlimited number of these cards and refill your prepaid account as needed. Many mass merchandise retailers such as Wal-Mart sell these prepaid minutes cards in the checkout lanes.
The different kinds of debit cards available in the market include standard debit cards, prepaid debit cards, and rewards debit cards.
Sim Card SwitcharooMost phones that accept a SIM card can be unlocked and used for any service that uses SIM card technology. AT&T and Tmobile phones & SIM cards can be used in this way. However Tracfone and Net10 phones and SIM cards cannot. For AT&T and Tmobile, Prepaid or Contract makes no difference. I use my ATT / Cingular contract service SIM in a T-Mobile Prepaid phone. (unlocked of course). The unlocking bit, depending on the company that makes the phone, can get a little tricky; but if you put some time into searching, you can find the information you need for a small cost or most likely free altogether. I am leaving out info pertaining to technology compatibility as most state and abroad phones are GSM, and you most likely have a GSM SIM card.
The three types of credit cards available in the market today are secured credit cards, unsecured credit cards, and prepaid credit cards.
Walmart sells prepaid cell phones and prepaid minute cards from companies like, Tracfone, AT&T and Virgin Mobile.
No most phone companies do not allow any SIM card to go into all phones. The only exception I have found is the SIM cards for ATT phones and TMobile phones.
