SIM Card Questions & Changing Phones

I am moving to the US next month and am wondering which network carrie
to use.  I want to be able to basically change my phone when I want.
This pretty much eliminates Verizon as they don't have SIM cards t
easily change.

My question is does this carrier use SIM cards and if so is it easy t
change phone or does it use an unusual frequency like the 850/1900 use
by Cingular which makes it harder to change phones?

Many thanks

This carrier does not use SIM cards.

The only GSM service you will find in the United States is 850/1900.  
The 900 and 1800 bands are used for something else here.  This carrier
does run some GSM service in both the 850 and 1900 bands (like
Cingular), and mainly for Cingular and T-Mobile.  You cannot subscribe
to GSM service through this carrier.

For best results, you would want a quad band phone with either Cingular
or T-Mobile.
