If your service provider in the US is not GSM (CDMA?) then you won't be able to use your phone (number) here. If you want to keep it active you need to switch to a GSM provider in the US and enable roaming. Be warned, though, roaming charges are expensive.
Once here your only option (for a few more months at least) is the local service provider Q-Tel. You can either get a prepaid SIM or a postpaid one (monthly billing).
You only pay for the phone calls you make. You don't pay for incoming calls.
