can i buy a phone from PUblic to use with my current provider

You can, @deborahaaron 

However why not give Public Mobile a try?  There are some pretty sweet deals on now, and over the next few days, with respect to Holiday deals.

Also, with a Public Mobile phone purchase, you get a FREE SIM card to use for the activation here. (a $6 - $12 savings, depending on where it may be otherwise acquired)

Give it some thought.

@deborahaaron , you don't need to be a customer of this service to buy a phone.

Yes, as the phones sold by Public Mobile are unlocked.
