Check with the current carrier to see if the device is locked to their network. If it is not, then you should be able to just switch SIM cards to another GSM carrier without an issue. Keeping the phone number you would have to port that over of course.

Also, depending on the new carrier, they will often times give incentives and new devices to get people to change carriers, so using the old device may not even be required.
