Doubtful, since usually they are either vendor-locked, or effectively
vendor-locked (due to the frequencies they use).

Note, however, that if the main reason you want to keep the 120c is
that you have the accessories, you can get prepaid service from a
number of vendors (tracfone, for example) that still use other
variants of the 120. You'd have to get a "new" phone (reconditioned,
actually), but the current price of a 120 with tracfone is $19.95.
