It took all the willpower that I have to not ask if it’s prokaryotic or eukaryotic.

You may or may not. It depends on the cell phone as well as whether your phone service provider allows you to.

Usually you can just change the SIM card in the phone, and it will work. That is what I did when my phone broke, I used an older working phone with the old phone’s SIM card and presto it worked just like that.

You will need to set up an account and get that SIM card before you can know for sure if your phone is supported on their network. You can try to ask the phone-people but they’re pretty dumb about any type of advanced issue (and this is not in their script!).

Sometimes you can do research to see if your phone model is unlocked or locked to a certain network, so please post your phone’s model and make.

If you’ve fulfilled your contract, ask them (your old carrier) to unlock the phone for you. Now you can insert the new sim from the new carrier and you’re good to go!

Is that the new razr or the old one? I had the old one and a krzr. I loved the krzr! I like the new razr better than the old one. They incorporated a lot of the krzr features in it.

Yup i agree if they are unable to unlock your phone,you yourself can get it unlocked by purchasing unlock codes from any commercial vendors online like http://www.mobileunlocksolutions.com and get it unlocked
