Can you buy a phone off of ebay, and still sign up with a contract in your local store?

I have been looking for a black berry at a low price. Can I go on ebay, buy one, and take it into my local Us Cellular phone and can the set up an account for me?

    Yes and no. If it is a phone that has a SIM card slot (SIM is you account info on an unlocked phone) then yes. Your carries will give you a sim card and you will pay their rates. If it doesnt have a sim slot like verixon phones then no. You have to go with that carrier. Make sure you buy an unlocked phone. Unlocked are the only ones that work.
