You can but it can be iffy. Make sure the the phone you buy is either unlocked or of the same type as your service provider. Also really check out the profile of the sellar you dont want to be stuck with a dud. And just to make sure I would also double check the phone model compatability with you service plan, not all plans support all phones.

My mom bought a razr off of ebay. Make sure the seller is sending you the charger, and phone. ID your phone has a sim card, you will have to put your sim card into your phone and turn it on. Then you have to call your service provider and tell them that you have a new phone, so they can put the correct type of phone on your account. P.S. We have cingular.

I bought a cellphone off ebay and it worked fine. You need to verify with the person selling it what network it is for. You can get it activated by calling your cellphone company, for sprint it's like *2 on your handset.
