LG Wireless Phone

I have a question about unlocked phones. Can I use them with my prepaid ATT account and just pop the sim in?

I wanna get an unlocked phone from ebay, but im not sure if i should get one becuz i don't know if they will work with my prepaid att go phone account. I've been reading about unlocked phones, and ppl r saying all u have to do is put ur sim in. Is that true? Oh and where can i get cheap unlocked phones? Thank You!!!!!!! wanna get an unlocked phone from ebay, but im not sure if i should get one becuz i don't know if they will work with my prepaid att go phone account.

Ok, so im adding more detail becuz a person just answered my question, but now im curious about another thing. I now understand the part about the phone will work if i pop the sim card in, but i don't really get the part that certain parts of the phone won't work if its not unlocked right. So if its not unlocked right the txting and the media net won't work? Help!!!!!!!

1. That is true. As long as the phone is unlocked, the SIM should work. Correctly unlocked phones are not usually cheap, and if device is not unlocked correctly, many features, such as data, text etc. won't work correctly. You may want to look on Craigslist or eBay. If the phone is not unlocked using the manufacturers or providers code, it unlocks the phone for use with the other SIM, but the text/data features may not work. This would include getting the phone unlocked at an electronics store or kiosk, so I don't recommend this.
