Yes, generally, but not always. The phone may need to be unlocked or there may be other restrictions. The specifics will depend on your carrier and phone.
The phone will work either way on most Cell phone systems.
It really depends on what you sign up for, even though the retailers may not want you to know that.
It should as long as it isn't blocked
no, your # and plan details are on you SIM
It is a great phone to get for you if you don't use your phone heavily because it is prepaid. However, if you get a plan for 500 mobile minutes on a non-prepaid phone, and you only use 3, it's a waste of money.

One major advantage of having a prepaid cell phone is that you are not bound by a contract. Many non-prepaid cell phones require a minimum two year contract. Another advantage is that with prepaid, you pay for minutes in advance, so you never have to worry about going over your minutes and paying overage fees.
No, when you are on a contract you can not use phone cards. Thats sort of true. You might also want to check out www.americanroaming.com I used it in my deactivated Benz Car phone.
Prepaid T-mobile cards are not refundable. They are also non-replaceable and you cannot transfer the balance to anyone else once you have activated the card to put the money in your prepaid phone account.
every body says no and Verizon wont use it as a prepaid but if you go to metro PC they will switch it for you but it being a smart phone you cant use the 'smart' capbilities like the mobile tv and the internet
There are various iPhone plans which are available for non-contract. All the stores which sell the plans and phones have prepaid pay as you go plans as well as plans which are non contract with the purchase of a phone.
No. A non-GSM phone cannot work on a GSM network, and vice versa.
Yes you can. If you already have a plan, install your old sim card in the new phone after you charge the battery and turn it on. Do not "activate" the phone! Also, you can use a prepaid "Go Phone" card in a non "Go Phone" phone. I know this from first hand experience; I called AT&T (via 611) from my Samsung Go Phone and they unlocked the SIM card for me, for free. I found out that when a person buys a prepaid AT&T phone and they get the $25.00 to $75.00 worth of free airtime the Go Phone's SIM cared is locked to the phone, after the phone is activated; however, once that obligation has been completed then they can unlock the SIM card and it will work in any regular(or prepaid) AT&T phone.
You can use them almost anywhere without registration, just like a non prepaid, state which site
Sure, I bought a LG VU the other day and didn't sign a contract. As long as you have a working phone number on a GSM system the phone you buy will work. T-mobil and ATT phones will cross. You do want to make sure the phone is GSM and unlocked. You will pay more for the non contract phone. Th eLG VU is $49.00 with and $249.00 without.
