Areed: It would depend on your specific needs and budget. Your mom will need to go back to your carrier to purchase a new SIM card, which is usually about $20 or so. In terms of buying an unlocked phone, there are many online retailers (as well as physical stores) that sell them.

Yodo: I assume you mean the LG Vu? Both the Vu and the Nokia N95, if unlocked, can be used with any GSM carrier around the world if you have the right SIM card from that carrier. If locked, the phone will only work with the wireless provider that sold you the handset.

Technoash: If you are on the same carrier as your dad, it should be possible to swap cell phones. Since you mention a locked iPhone 3GS, I'm assuming that you are with either AT&T, Rogers, or Fido? If this is the case, all you have to do is swap the SIM card.

This article is very biased and one sided. How do you sleep at night ? And your information is mediocre at best!

EdStubum: I'm not entirely sure what you mean by downloading videos. If you get a smartphone with a proper web browser, you should be able to download just about any file that you find on the Internet. There are a variety of unlocked smartphones for you to consider, including Windows Mobile handsets from HTC.

hi! the t-mobile pda people told me that none of their phones were capable of downloading videos. i have a t-mobile blackberry pearl 8100 (gold), if i get an 'unlocked' phone- and put a t-mobile sim card in it(trying to use it with an active t-mobile account) will it still be unable to download vids?

Carolyn: Assuming that the Samsung GSM phone is unlocked and has the correct "bands" for use in your area, then yes, it should work with your T-Mobile SIM card. The GSM frequencies ("bands") for use in North America are typically 850MHz and 1900MHz. T-Mobile tends to rely on the latter more than the former.

Mary: To my knowledge, Sprint-Nextel phones do not use SIM cards, but you should be able to buy a used cell phone and have it activated onto your account. This would probably be the least expensive strategy you can take, because buying a new phone without a contract can prove to be very pricey.
