Unlocked Cell Phones!

I have had a cell phone since 1997. From the time I was pregnant with my first child and Utah was revamping its entire freeway system. I was afraid I would go into labor and not be able to get in touch with my husband and/or medical care if necessary. My husband bought a phone and brought it home for me. Since that time, I have used four different carriers. The main complaint I had was that when I switched between carriers, my phone did not always switch with me. I don’t really understand the ins and outs of cell phones. That is my husband’s domain. Just give me a phone with a calendar, telephone book and service and I’m good to go. Back in the late 1990s, I did not realize there was a way to get an unlocked phone that could be used with other services. Apparently, now that we are into the 2009s, it is a fairly common practice and you can buy new or used unlocked phones. I think technology is moving faster than I can keep up!
