    No you will not. The T-Mobile phone is made for the GSM network and US Cellular uses CDMA. You would be able to use it on another GSM carrier like AT&T, but not on US Cellular.

    CDMA phones are hard programmed to use their providers. So even if you received a CDMA phone from another CDMA carrier, like Sprint or Verizon, you would not be able to use it on US Cellular.

    Sprint and Verizon have announced they will let their phones be used on other carriers, but dates of when haven't been announced. So for now you're stuck with just US Cellular phones.

    No. It is not possible to use a GSM phone(which requires a sim card in order to work) with a CDMA network(which doesn't use sim cards). They are two completely different technologies and are not compatible with each other.

Why? i do no longer understand...could be some deep seated lack of self assurance, lol, some as yet undiagnosed, unnatural emotional attachment to landline telephones? Yeah...phonaphobic separation illness or some thing...hmmm...contemplate whether it would qualify me as heavily disturbed sufficient to ditch gainful employment and assemble a verify or some thing? Lol...nah, no longer likely, so i assume i will in simple terms save paying a easily ineffective invoice each month till???
