One other issue to be aware of is that some phones are locked so that they can only be used with the carrier you bought the phone through. This is common with phones bought from a carrier in the US. However, phones bought not through a carrier and without a plan are more likely to be unlocked (and often explicitly say so in advertising).

Locked phones can sometimes be unlocked.
