Default Can you use the same prepaid cell phone with a different prepaid service?
Say you bought a phone with ABC wireless, but you find a cheaper wireless company.
Can you use the same phone with a different company?

No you cannot. Each phone is programmed for a specific carrier. You will not be able to interchange them. Also, some carriers use sim card technology (Cingular), while others don't use them (Verizon Wireless).
