I need to get a new phone. I'm on this 'pay as you go' plan, so the phone is mine with no warranty. It's time for me to get a new one, and basically I just want to get a Motorola that fits my needs and I can simply take the SIM card and swap it out.
As it turns out, I don't think things are that simple (?). Apparently different phones for different phone carriers use different frequencies. My question is, if I find a phone that's being sold with another carrier, can I buy the phone and use it with my carrier? Do I need to unlock it? Frequency issues?
Thanks for your input,
Bender.
