Is it possible to activate an iPhone 3GS bought on eBay with US Cellular?

Q. I'm planning on buying an iPhone 3GS on eBay, but I don't know whether it can be activated with US Cellular. If, in the description, it says "unlocked iPhone", does it mean that it can be activated with any carrier? Please explain this to me, because I'm completely clueless.

A. I don't believe US Cellular uses SIM Cards, so it would be impossible to use an iPhone 3GS on US Cellular unless US Cellular sold them themselves; US Cellular has integrated SIM Cards.

"Unlocking" a phone means you call the carrier the phone is for and get the unlock code, once you do so you can use it on another carrier who uses SIM Cards, like if you had the AT&T Quickfire and wanted to use it on T-Mobile you would call AT&T to get the unlock code so you can use a T-Mobile SIM Card in the phone.

Hope this makes sense,
Logan. :-)

How much would it cost to fix an iPhone 3GS if the screen is cracked?
Q. A friend of mine bought an iPhone 3GS and the screen is cracked, I was wondering how much would it cost to get it fixed?

Would it be better to just by a new phone or what?

A. Hello. I own an Apple Service center called Rotten Apples. We are a web based business. We specialize in fixing iPhones and iPods, particularly the glass and LCDs. We do same day service on these repairs at no extra cost. For a iPhone 3gs glass repair, we only charge $74.99.

When not compared to other phones, would you say that the iPhone 3GS camera quality is bad?
Q. My brother is giving me his old unlocked iPhone 3GS as a hand-me-down since I don't like buying contract phones so I can't get the iPhone 5. Would you say that the camera quality is good or bad?

A. I think the iPhone 3GS (compared to other phones) is about average. BUT unlike its relative iPhone 4,4s, &5 it doesn't have a flash!!! Which can be a issue for many.
