I just have two quick questions. I'm not new to owning a cell phone, but I don't know much about them. I have an Audiovox COM8900 phone through US Cellular. My friend has Edge Wireless and a Nokia 5140. He switched providers and still has insurance and said if I gave him the $25 he would get me a new Nokia 5140. So my first question is will the 5140 be able to work with my US Cellular account? Next, I've heard a little bit about unlocking phones with a code or something so that they will work with all providers, is this true?
I really need some help with this, I don't have a whole lot of time to decide if I want the phone or not, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update
I did a little more research, and I'm actually more confused. I was told that I could not do it because my phone is CDMA and the Nokia is GSM. But, US Cellular carries both CDMA phones, and GSM phones. So would the Nokia work?
