it should work as long as you set up the phone with your carrier. however it will not work if you bought some funky brand phone and you dont have that company as a carrier.

IF it is an unlocked triband or quadband gsm phone , you should be able to use any tmobile or att sim and it should work fine. If it is a dualband and only has 900/1800mhz, send it back. It is useless in the-USA, we only use 850/1900mhz, totally different frequencies.
