go to ebay and look for what ever phone you want and where it shows all of the phones that match your search. on the side of this page (the left side) click features and click on "unlocked" and press search and then find the phone that is the right price for you!!
Hope I Helped!!

Yes, but you will pay substantially more ($200 or so more?) since the amount that you would pay over the course of a 1-2 year contract generally subsidizes the phone expense substantially. Try TigerDirect:

Prepaid (Pay As You Go) isn't bad either, but the selection of phones is not quite as good as what you'll find with postpaid plans.

Yes! that what we call in Singapore "no contract". As what you said that just slot in your existing SIM card and used it, regardless it is the "pay as you used" or the normal subscription type. But, be very careful with those "3G' phone because your SIM card must be calibrate to "3G" system then you can access. "3G" SIM card can used in all other phones.

stable, any cell might nicely be bought without contract. some amenities do exactly no longer present telephones that don't have contracts, even if maximum do. I have no thought if it works in London, yet sprint delivers a miles cheap infants plan without contract. be certain it out; it extremely is pronounced as Kajeet.

Try ebay,I know a few people who go that route often. I however, purchased my phone directly form Motorola and like u said, I put the chip in and Voila! No new or renewed contracts.

Well i think your dad can buy u a phone that will add on to his plan but it depends on the carrier.

yes you can as long as it's locked to your current provider or unlocked. Either way, the phone will probably cost somewhere around $300.

Why don't you just buy your own phone?
