You you asking about networks, like Verizon, Sprint, etc. because they do work on other networks.

You can try their customer services and get what you need:

1-877-430-CELL (2355).

Friends have had mixed results getting the answers they need. Sometimes it takes several calls to get the info you need.

In the US many companies lock the phone to a network. If you have a phone that is unlocked and able to use any SIMS card this one is possible.

However, these phones are locked to their network and you must first unlock the phone before you can use it on another network.
