No. I think it works like this,You have a phone with say T-mobile.
You dont like service. You can have your phone unlocked so you can get service from some other provider. I do think it has to be a phone that takes a sim card. i.e. a sim for a sim. Get it. Phones that work without a sim card I have no clue about.

If / when you unlock your mobile all you have to do is insert the chip (network) you want to use into that phone.

Example: If you have a Cingular phone but want to use T-Mobile when you unlock the mobile (by code or shop) just insert the T-Mobile sim and off you go, thats it.

Your mobile is a CDMA mobile and will never work with a GSM sim. You will have to buy a new mobile if you want to use a GSM network.
