There is a problem with this, be wary, a lot of phones, GSM or CDMA are whats called SP Locked, they are locked to the provider of the originating country, some phones WILL NOT allow you to use another carriers SIM in their mobiles, as genereally it is the carrier that gets the phones into the country, you can spend a few bucks however to a mobile repair retailer and get the mobile unlocked but at the least you'll most likely void your warrenty.
