A:Answeryou can buy it unlocked and then use any active sim card in the phone. My dad recently took a trip to Europe and swapped out his Verizon sim card for the one they sold him in Europe. It worked perfectly fine.
A:AnswerI have done that, and it was way cheaper to buy it unlocked and keep my current plan with T-Mobile. Also, as my Credit Card is 0% interest and offers full insurance for my phone, I just paid the whole thing with it and now I can choose how much I want to pay every month on that card. Great deal for me and my wife
