Afraid you are SOL. Simple Freedom phones are all
CDMA, and operate on Alltel's and Verizon's networks. No
SIM cards.
BTW, a friend of mine has had a SF phone (3585i) for about a year and loves it. Excellent reception - in our area (New England) the phone uses Verizon. It will roam on other
CDMA networks -- such as US Cellular's -- when there are no Verizon towers, but the per minute rate then goes up to 50¢.
I agree the phone selection isn't the greatest, but service is super.
