Can you put a regular cell phone service chip in a prepaid phone?

I dropped my cell phone in water, on accident. The people who pay for my phone told me to buy a GoPhone (prepaid) and put my regular chip in. And it’ll work like my other cell did and I won’t have to pay for prepaid minutes. Is that true?

Answer #1

Most prepaid phones are locked down so they will only work on the prepaid network.

Also, a lot of the phones used for prepaid services are cheapo handsets that won’t even take a chip.
