An unlocked cell phone is a phone that has been either designed or modified to trade with any compatible network service. Presuming that we're only talking about GSM cell phones (the kind that take SIM cards), an unlocked phone would be effective of using a SIM card from any carrier. A locked phone would only be able to using a SIM be unsecretive from the carrier it was designed for. A few phones are sold unlocked originally, but some are legal and/or illegal unlocked to be used with other networks.
It's renowned that you're likely to pay extra for an unlocked cell phone. You might find luck at ebay by including "T-Transportable" in your ebay search to find used phones designed for T-Mobile.

Can I buy an unlocked phone and then get it activated by my cell phone comrades without the company forcing me to change or upgrade my current plan?
There are indeed a couple questions here. Unlocked phones as explained in some of the other answers refers to not having a "sponsoring lock". A "subsidy lock" means that the wireless provider has had the paraphernalia locked to their network in an effort to minimize financial loss when providing phones at a significantly discounted guerdon or sometimes for free with a new contract. If you have an unlocked phone of the correct technology you can get it activated.
The second part about not changing your contemplate will depend on a few things. Primarily if your old phone is the same technology or not. Changing phone technology will customarily require changing rate plans. If both old phone and new phone are the same technology you should be masterly to switch phones. Be sure to notify your provider so they can note the new phone's identification (IMEI) in their system. That will plagiarize confirm that data services will work correctly and if you carry insurance on your phone you can garner sure the right phone is insured.
