nokia phone question

I lost my phone last night. I think I left it on my vehicle & it fell off,got smashed or something. When you call it ,it rings once & goes to my voicemail. Anyway here is my question. My service is thru US Cellular. I have a nokia phone from a older,expired contract. It was a Cingular contract.The phone says Cingular on it,where my phones now are US Cellular. Can I call US Cellular & have the phone I lost deactivated & this phone that was a Cingular phone activated?Does it matter what service provider the phone was thru.? Will it work with any provider?

By all means, call U.S. Cellular and have the phone deactivated. And from what I have seen, U. S. Cellular is a CDMA carrier, which means that the phones they sell are tied only to them and you cannot use a phone from another carrier.

Thanks for the reply. I was afraid of that on the phone.
