GSM (smart)phones interchangable on all GSM networks?

by x96holmes3 / October 10, 2005 12:26 AM PDT

I would really like to get the Audiovox SMT5600 Smartphone, but we don't have Cingular here in Northern Michigan. Can these phones only be used with the network provider they're affiliated with? We have GSM here through Cellular One -- is this possible with a reg hack? Am I asking for trouble?
