No, you would need to find out what carrier the person uses.

There are 3 main technologies used in the USA - GSM (T-Mobile, Cingular), CDMA (Verizon, Sprint, Alltel, and TDMA (not sure who still uses this). The phones for each technology are not interchangable.

Nope. Only certain phones work with certain networks.
