I have T-Mobile and a razor that shuts itself off. I don’t want a new plan so I’m hoping to buy a used phone that I can plug in my SIM card to and begin using. Is this even possible?  On eBay, some say you need to “activate” the phone even though it’s unlocked.  What the heck does that mean?

I wonder if Jack Bauer has to activate his sim cards after he pulls them out of someone’s stomach.

Some details and preferences:
- I live in NYC; NY places are fine, but I prefer an easy online way.
- I prefer advice from people who already used the service they mention in their answer.

I want to change providers , but don’t want to get stuck in another contract, so I’m thinking a used phone is the way to go.

What do I look for? I want to make sure that when I buy it – it will actually work.

I’ve found several used phones, but all at ridiculously high prices. I understand that it’s going to be a lot more expensive at the store retail price, but is there somewhere you know of that has reasonable-ish prices?
