I have seen a cheap phone for sale. It is locked for Cingular. I am on
Cingular.
Can I stick my SIM in and run?
Or is there something else to look for? (I understand it will not work if it
has been reported stolen. Besides that.)

What are the other three locks besides "Network"?
"Network Subse"
"SP"
"Corporate"

Thanks.

If the phone was on cingular and you're on cingular provided cingular
uses the same freqency as the phone you want to use you're all set.

It is the same phone as mine. Does that mean it has to be the same
frequency?
Thank you

If it's the same phone you wouldn't have any problem.
