I was just wondering....

If I got a phone from this site that isn't avaliable with the carrier I'm with could I get it activated with the carrier I'm with?

Hi samsoniteman,

We're going to need more info than what you've given us. The phone model and carrier you want to activate with would be a good start.

Thanks

It depends on the phone and the carrier.

Who is your carrier?

If you have a CDMA carrier, you cannot use a phone that is not branded to your carrier. So, in other words, if you have Sprint, you cannot use a Verizon phone (and vice versa).

If you have a GSM carrier, you can use any phone that is GSM as long as it is unlocked. However, depending on the phone/carrier, you might not be able to get 3G. For instance, if you have AT&T as your carrier, T-Mobile branded phones will only get EDGE on AT&T, since AT&T and T-Mobile use different 3G frequency bands.
