You're essentially buying a phone off-contract, and hopefully unlocked. Once you do that (assuming you bought it at T-Mobile or ATT) you can take the sim card out, go to another carrier, and get their service, with no problem, and without needing the first carrier's permission.
Worked awesome for me when I went to Europe. I bought an unlocked phone in the states, when I got to Europe walked into a Virgin Mobile in Dublin, got a new sim card, and an Irish number. ATT wanted to charge me like $100 for 250MB of data- Virgin gave 1 GB to me for like 10 euro.
tl:dr- it's cheaper to get a phone unlocked. If the service sucks you can change it whenever you want b/c it's your phone.
