I'm purchasing a Motorola V551, My current phone is through Cellular One and I have no idea who the this phone was through but i do know it wsn't Cellular One. When I get it is there anything special i need to do other than swap my SIM card into the other phone since it had a diff. service provider???

Well as long as Cellular One offers GSM service, you're half way home.
As far as this V551 goes, as long as it has been unlocked from whatever provider it was locked to, before you bought it, there will be nothing you need to do, other than put your SIM card in the phone.
If the phone has NOT been unlocked, you will need to find an unlocking service either locally (In your town/city), and pay to have it unlocked, or find such a service online and pay to have them unlock it.
Google UNLOCK V551 and you will find several options for getting it unlocked online.
You can also try Ebay and Craig's List click here for finding unlocking services as well. Just find the city or town your live in or is closest to you, and search for Cell Phone Unlocking Service, under the foresale/wanted section.

Only Motorola has the original OEM code to unlock it so if whoever unlocks it make sure they are not trying to "Flash" it or unlock it with a datacable because that may cause damage I never said it will for sure but it can.
