Hey man If that is when your contract date ends then yes. Then you are able to switch to any other carrier. Make sure you check out AT&T service in your area, I am familar with US cellular and I know they are in alot of rural areas, where at&t isnt. I use to have At&t and there service isnt great man to what there com. might say. You have to have 3g coverage for the iphone to work. I am with Verizon Wireless know, and have the Motorola Droid. I love the phone!!! I just ordered my HTC incredible, To be totally honest with you man, its better then the iphone. Speed, camera, touch is the same, touch screen is bigger, lighter then the iphone. Its a superior phone. Go to a verizon store tomorrow and check out the incredible. Plus you are going to get better 3g service where ever you go with Verizon man!!!!!
