unlocked cell --gt any service provider
can an unlocked GSM phone be used on any service providers network that operates through GSM? my phone atm has a sim card so this means its gsm, so as long as I buy an unlocked phone with a sim card slot i should be okay right? im browsing unlocked phone on newegg and in the details there one part that says "Compatible Carrier & Service", can i just ignore this?
i'm sorta confused, if someone could help clear things up for me i'd really appreciate it

[quote=moh88]Lol wut? You can unlock a phone for like $20 here o.o[/quote]
where exactly is here? unlocked through a service provider?
[quote=Lightsaber]If you're in the United States: I'm assuming you're from Canada, but if you aren't, most service providers won't sell to someone who has an unlocked phone because of security purposes. Getting them unlocked is hard enough as it is, you have to pay like $800 in the United States, if I remember correctly.[/quote]
yes i am in canada. i already have a phone and provider. i just want to get a new phone without being restricted to koodo's very limited verity. you can buy unlocked phones online, i just don't want to buy one and have it not work. also, @ second poster, do koodo and telus merge since telus owns koodo?
