usa uses 1900 mhz frequency before you buy make sure the phone supports that frequency.
2 :
If the phone is GSM 1900/850 it will probably work with AT&T and T-Mobile (as well as a few regional GSM carriers). However, you get nothing free. You get the service you pay for.

If the phone is quadband (most of the phones are now) and unlocked, it will work fine. If the phone has WiFi, you can use internet for free. If the phone supports HSPA+ 1700/2100 MHz, you can even get 3G on it.
