I'm switching to a new phone (without a new SIM card/contract) and there are a couple of phones not listed on t-mobile.com that I would like instead; some include ones made by LG, along with Sony Ericcson. Would the SIM card t-mobile provides work on those products?

If you can; list some websites that sell GSM phones, or just a list of GSM phones in general.
Please don't post e-bay.com, I do not want to purchase my phone from there.

SIM cards can work in any GSM phone in the world. Regardless of brand. The key is whether or not the phone in questions is 'unlocked' - a lot of networks around the world will lock the phone to their own network only. This is only a software lock and it can be changed very easily. But its worth pointing out

From my contemporary experience T-cellular and Cingular (AT & T) are SIM card able on there cell telephone's. Which I had A T & T and became into converted over to Cingular. Having a SIM card got here in very accessible for me to enhance or exchange telephone variety's. we've moved out of Cingular's industry and are utilising Alltel. those cellular telephones like sprint, Cellone do no longer use that technologies. And specific many cell telephone makers split there divicies on the industry in the two industry of none SIM telephone's and SIM card telephones.

If the phone is GSM and unlocked, you can use t-mobile sim card. Phone on CDMA and TDMA do not take Sim cards. Verizon, Sprint, Nextel, Tracfone, Virgin, etc. do not take Sim cards. Depending on the model LG phones can take Sim card.

No Verizon Wireless phones hold a SIM card because they do not use them. I know that sometimes people can strip phones or "unlock" them so that they can be used for a different provider but I don't think those apply to VZW...good luck.

if you are going to buy phone from the same company it work on there network only because company locked there phones not to work with different networks so if you want LG,Sony ericc.or nokia handset buy it from some electronic shop and check from the dealer that phone is not locked .
