Thanks Bossman, I was referring to this guy. He could have just told me about firmware locked, I didn't know there were different "lock" types. I assumed any locked phone could be unlocked.

Pretty much true. With the exception of a handful of phones of which Tracfone is one of them.

I see, well I looked at some of those phones on Amazon but I'm trying to find in the $20 or $30 range, if that's possible. Are there any cheap prepaid brands in the US I could unlock, or is everything going to be similar to Tracfone? Maybe I'll just have to suck it up and get an international phone?
