generally, yes, it's easier to buy a cell phone through your network. although there are other options... for instance an "unlocked" cell phone. these are just cell phones on ebay or other private websites that are unlocked to any wireless network. for instance, i really wanted the pink slvr, but my network (Suncom) didn't offer it, so i ebayed it for cheap... just took my SIM card out of my Suncom cell phone and put it in my new one and viola! good luck...
try phonefactory.biz, letstalk.com, or ustronics.com
and ps. the provider you are using MUST use a SIM card system in order for any of these to work. some companies don't and in that case, yeah you do have to use their phones.
