Answer 1 :
You would have to see if it operates on the proper band. The Samsung E350 operates in the 900/1800/1900 bands. Most locations in America use 850/1900, so it may work. Call your provider and ask them. You should also ask them if they have a roaming agreement with a provider in the Voston area.
Answer 2 :
The important thing is your phone provider. You have to call them and ask if they will provide you service while in Boston. If they will not is your phone "unlocked" ? If you have an unlocked phone you can see what prices local providers will charge you. You probably have a GSM phone provider and those are not as common in the USA. Your phone is a tri band so it can connect to other systems if it is unlocked. T-Mobile uses GSM standard phones so you can try them or just buy a cheap phone at a local convenience store and buy some minutes right at the store. I have rented phones while in Europe and I will warn you it is not cheap to call home on a rented phone. Try asking your own provider before anything else. Good Luck
