I have a similar issue. I currently live in the US but my parents retired to the south of Spain. I'll likely go visit them for a month soon and am thinking of switching from Verizon to Cingular because it is a GSM phone. It is my understanding that since it is GSM, I can just remove the SIM from the Cingular phone when in Spain and swap in a local prepaid SIM card for use while I am there. Is it that easy or is there more to it, like are most Cingular phones locked to prevent this? If so, I see a lot of places that sell unlocked GSM phones. Could I buy one of those and not take a phone from Cingular when I sign up with, telling them that I already have a phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Jason

Yes - an unlocked gsm phone will work with cingular. But may as well take the free phone anyway IMO

Thanks! So if I did that, I could take the free phone, then buy the unlocked one and take the cingular SIM out of the free phone and easily put it into any other phone I want? That seem easy enough.

An unlocked phone will accept any carriers sim card - thats what unlocked means!
(obviously you need a GSM phone for GSM carrier etc)

hi i am new and have read stuff on this forum quite a bit thx a million for all the help and advice you have given me without knowing.... 
ANYWAY..
i have a v3 on orange (uk) and i got this software to unlock it by downgrading to 07.D0 and it did that. then i had to use motorola_unlocker, which took a few seconds and that was supposed to unlock it to o2(uk) but nothing. 
my firmware (*# + start) says o7.D0 so it has worked??
i put o2 sim in it says contact service provider, but put orange sim in and all works ok? 
can anyone tell me what to do plzzzzzzz
