Hello, I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to cellular phones, and I'm wondering if someone can help me out here.
I'm currently using a pre-paid T-Mobile cell phone and I'm wondering if I could replace my phone with a different one.
From what I gather, you can just swap out the SIM card from phone to phone, as long as the phone is unlocked, right?
Thanks for your time

that's right. if you decide to use an unlocked phone you will have to set up text messaging and internet settings ny hand.

You will NOT have to set up text messaging.

barciur, a service center number will most likely need to be out in the phone for text messaging to work properly.

I'm pretty sure my knowledge of gsm surpasses yours. hell my first two phones were gsm. and yes, i would trust a tech over some one who doesn't even know how the technology works. apple has proven him or herself to know her stuff about phones, t mobile especially, time and time again. the only thing you have done is given bad advice with only one personal experience and no technical knowledge what so ever.
