Question
My LG Script broke a couple weeks ago, and I've been searching for a new phone & I found out about unlocked phones. I want to take the SIMS card out of my phone, I'm not sure if I'm right, but matter of fact there is a card like thing in my phone under the battery. Is there specific carriers that my SIMS card is compatible with, that I could buy & use for my new phone? Thanks!!

(By the way I have attatched a picture of the card like thing that I think is a SIMS card, thanks again!)
Bluegrass Cellular doesn't use a SIM (subscriber information module) card. It uses CDMA technology which does not require a SIM card. Your phone may have a slot for a SIM card if it is a worldphone so that if it was used outside of the US, a SIM card would be put into it. However, if you want to get a new phone, you will need to get one directly from Bluegrass. Another carrier's phone won't work with your wireless number. The unlocked phones are GSM phones and they won't work with Bluegrass service. Just get a new phone from your carrier. That's really your only choice. If someone tried to sell you a phone that was flashed to Bluegrass, that may work, but you run the risk of it not working fully or not being able to access the internet, for example. I hope this helps.
