[kwm]

Ah once again I search and search for answers to life's questions and end up back here at good old Pelican OT BBS. Anyway, I want to get my wife a new cell phone for Christmas. I have purchased a lot of things from Ebay over the years and every single experience has been positive. For instance, I just purchased a pair of Spy Optics sunglasses that cost over $100 in store and from the manufacturer's web site. On Ebay I paid $59 + 2.50 shipping and it got to me in 2 days in perfect condition. So I see that I can buy my wife a V3 Razor for $83 on Ebay that has a regular cost of $249 at BestBuy. Hard one to pass up. Here is my question to those of you who know cell phones and wireless service. Will I be able to just literally pluck the wife's sim card out of the 2+ year old phone she has now and stick it in the new one and it will start working? Am I missing a pitfall here like: will need to call your service provider and upgrade/jack up the price of or service for it to work, will it possible not be compatible with her present service, sim card, or our region of operation? Thanks !
