    The Nokia 5165 is a TDMA phone I believe, so I don't think it can be done. Even if it was unlocked, only a carrier that supports this old tech would be able to support it. (Cingular/AT&T is the only one that comes to mind) TDMA systems require ESN registration, so the carriers software would kick it back if the ESN belonged to another carrier.
