Possibly. First if you can get it unlocked then there is no issue. But
even locked, it may work on a prepaid carrier that uses the Cingular
network.
I had my mother switch from Cingular post-paid to T-Mobile prepaid on
her Nokia 3595 (IIRC). I talked her through unlocking her phone before
she went into the T-Mobile store.
Nokia phones are usually easy to unlock, see

Motorola phones are usually not so easy to unlock.

Sorry, my mistake, but the answer is still the same. AFAIK, the prepaid
carriers don't lock their phone to prevent using it on a non-prepaid
plan on the same carrier. At least that's how it is for CDMA.
