Probably.

A quick google search shows that Cincinnati Bell Wireless operate a GSM 
network, which is compatible with the freerunner. You should get a 850MHz 
model.

It is possible that your network may use nasty tricks to prevent you from 
using the SIM card from the free phone in your freerunner. It is possible to 
lock SIM cards to a particular handset for example, however this is fairly 
unlikey.

Welcome to the freerunner club.
