    Hi all,
    I have a Samsung SGH-x497. I got this phone thru a friend using the add a phone for add. 9.99 plan from Cingular. Well, he is dropping the service because frankly, it s*cks. The reception is bad and they are always messing up the bill. My question is, can I get another plan thru another provider with this same phone even though it came from a Cingular store? (it also says Cingular on it, of course) Or do I have to purchase another phone if I go with another service from that service provider?

    Thanks

    yes and no.

    you can use the phone on t-mobile, but only if you 'unlock' it.

    it won't work on the rest of the other carriers (at least the majority of them).
