Hello, my brother in law is here from Poland and we would like to get him a temp cell. It sound slike 7-11 is the best deal... He brought his Nokia GSM phone from Poland and I assume I can just put a 7-11 Sim card in and be on my way. If that is the case, anyone have a 7-11 SIM card for sale, give-away, etc.? I can pay cash or paypal or cheque. Please advise:

His phone must run on the 850 / 1900 bands. Check the manual or product page for that particular phone.

You are not correct in your assumption that you can just buy a GSM phone in Europe, put in a 7-11 Sim and it will work.
GSM in Europe and most of the rest of the World work on different frequencies than GSM in North America. As a result most of the phones sold over there only work on the the two frequencies required for operation.
Nokia has, for the Same model, a lot of A and B versions, one will work in North America only and one in Europe.
If he bought a quad-band GSM phone in Europe, and it is unlocked, then it should work with a 7-11 Sim.
