Indeed. I bought a "dumb" GSM Nokia before flying to Sri Lanka and * gasp * not only was I able to have 2 lines, even two different carriers on the same phone, without too much hassle (something nearly unheard of the U.S.) I just drop a bit of cash at any ol' cell shop and I'm good to go. Furthermore, I actually own my bloody phone!
