620 and 120 film are exactly the same film. The spools are slightly different. If you have a take-up spool in the camera - which you should as it comes with the camera - you can use 120 film. You will want to retrieve your original take-up spool, though, before you send your film for processing, if you do not do the darkroom work yourself. This would have to be done in TOTAL darkness. You can check out the spools and see if the 120 spool will serve as a take-up spool in your camera and maybe you won't have to worry about saving your spool. It's been so long since I had them side-by-side, I am not sure whether it is suitable for use as a take-up spool in a 620 camera.

Do a Google on "kodak 620 film" - it appears to be a variation of 120 film.
