Can I buy any phone I want and still use it as prepaid AND with T-Mobile?

It is my understanding that if the phone is unlocked and it works with GSM technology, you can. I bought an unlocked Nokia X2 and an unlocked Motorola V237 and they both work perfectly with Simple Choice, which uses T-Mobile towers.

I believe you need to buy a T-mobile phone to be able to use with T-mobile pre paid program.

Not to my knowledge. You should check with Best Buy or Radio Shack or someone who sells cell phones, but i believe you must buy that company's phone to activate and use it.

The phone needs to be a T-Mobile supported phone. Call T-Mobile and ask them if your phone will work with their prepaid plan.

Yes, you can use your T-Mobile SIM card, virtually you can use any SIM card from any carrier. Unlocked phones can be used anywhere in the world.

The phone can be a prepaid. When I bought it it had been used with Vodaphone, Verizon's prepaid phone service. My particular phone is limited to networks, prepaid or not, that use Verizon's towers.

No, i do not think you can use with prepaid. The reason for it being no contract is so you don't have to start a new contract with Verizon but continue with one you already have.

If you live in USA, yes, you certainly can. You could use this phone with any card prepaid because the phone is UNLOCKED! It is UNLOCKED!! Its original carrier was AT&T.; I checked with T-Mobile and worked it! It will work with any prepaid carrier.

People saying yes are partly correct but it depends on the SIM card. T-mobile has 2 sizes of SIM cards, and if you're an existing contract customer trying to stick your SIM card into a non-contract phone, it may not work. I would call them before purchasing anything, although at worst you'd just need to get a new SIM card and transfer the account.

Yes but only a T-Mobile prepaid plan or a prepaid plan that uses T-Mobile service since this phone is locked to T-Mobile.

Yes. Verizon recently changed their policy to allow ANY Verizon phone to be used on prepaid - including 4G phones.

The prepaid cards are for your account, as in paying your bill. If your unlocked galaxy is compatible with t-mobiles network then there should be no problem.

Yes you can either with at&t; or tmobile. Tmobile is cheaper but at&t; has better service in my opinion. Hope this helps

It is possible to use att sim card if it's unlocked. Even if the phone shows t-mobile logo on start up seller might unlocked it before selling it to you. However t-mobile and att use different bands and LTE data might not work, as well as coverage might be not that great as it would be with att phone.

Yes you can. It works just like a regular phone on the t-mobile network. I returned mine though because this phone gets real hot real fast when you use it. Plus I didn't find the keyboard very receptive (hard to push buttons).

You sure can. I just took my sim card out my old phone and put it in this phone. I have the $45 unlimited everything plan.
