Can i buy a T-Mobile phoe off ebay and?

Question

take my sim card out of my samsung from t-mobile will it work? i want a rizr z3 but i already have a contract but if i bought off of ebay will it work?

Answer 1

I do it all the time.  That way, I get a new phone for cheaper, but don't have to re-up my contract.  I have not bought a phone direct from t-mobile since starting my plan. (and I have had it for five years!)

But make sure it is advertised as "new."  you can never count on the quality of "used" and "refurbished" phones.  I bought one "refurbished" and it only lasted a couple of months before I needed a new one.  

Buying it "new" on ebay is the only way to ensure its quality.  

Answer 2

It should.
