Can I use a Blackberry 8530 from sprint on verizon?

I have a sprint Blakberry 8530 that was used on the Sprint network. It is no longer active on Sprint.  We have a Verizon Reality that we don't like and want to use the blackberry.  Can I use this phone (the 8530) on Verizon?  And what needs to be done to make it work (if anything)?

Yes the phone can be FLASHED to verizon-wireless's software. No the company will not aid you in doing so due to their license agreement with the FCC. It states that Verizon Wireless can not activate phones registered to other carriers. This is due to change, but no-one knows when.
All sprint phones are CDMA. The only carriers that do not provide CDMA phones are T-mobile and At & T.

  • Can I use an apple 4 from sprint that I received to replace my droid on my plan?

    I currently have adroid on my plan but my sister gave me her apple 4 from sprint as she updated hers....can I replace her phone on my plan?

    Agree with Tidbits
    Sprint locks their phones and Verizon will not add the IMEI into the Verizon database. Since the CDMA iPhone 4 has no SIM card, there isw no option for that. So in full summary It will not work, not at all.

  • Is it possible to use a blackberry q10 from sprint on the verizon network?

    Can the phone be "flashed" over or unlocked for use on the verizon network and if so how do i go about doing so. I'm not sure if this question has already been asked sorry for a repeat if it already has. Thanks.

    Because the new BlackBerrys are "world phones", they have GSM radios (T-Mobile and AT&T) as well as CDMA radios (Verizon and Sprint). Sprint and Verizon will never allow a device they did not sell themselves on their network, but the GSM carriers don't operate that way. They "lock" the phones they sell to their own networks, but once unlocked you can use a GSM phone on any GSM carrier's network. Verizon BlackBerrys come with the GSM side unlocked so they're ready to operate on T-Mobile or AT&T right out of the box.

    Check your Settings > Network Connections > Mobile Network > Network Technology to tell me what are your network choices listed as? 2G, 3G, etc?
    You may need to get a new SIM card from Vodafone.
    Has the one you have now worked for 3G?

  • Can I use a sim card from my galaxy S3 for and iphone

    Wanted to know if I purchase an iphone 5 can I use the sim card from my Galaxy S3 Verizon phone.

    hi there,
    unfortunately you cannot.
    The iPhone 5 uses a 4th generation SIM card (NanoSIM) while the Samsung Galaxy S3 uses a 3rd generation MicroSIM. You can however use your existing MicroSIM in an iPhone 4 or 4S
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

    What cable can I use to transfer data from a 2008 MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Pro with thunderbolt?

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • Can I use a power cord from a Macbook air with a Macbook?

    Can I use a power cord from a Macbook air with a Macbook?

    No, the MacBook Air power adapter is a 45 watt. A MacBook needs at least a 60 watt power adapter although you can use a MacBook Pro 85 watt adapter. You can use a higher wattage adapter without any problems.

  • What device can I use to transfer photos from Iphone5s. Don't want to use my computer.

    What external device besides my computer can I use to transfer photos from
    my Iphone 5s.  Do I have to transfer to my computer and then external device?

    Normally the transfer is to your computer, treating the phone as a digital camera. However, you can also enable Photo Sharing. Or use Box.com or Dropbox. Or a 3rd party app such as MyPics that can save them to a Google Picasa site, or Shutterfly that can save them to Shutterfly albums.

    Yes. If you buy a WiFi+3G ipad (GSM or AT&T) in the US you can use microSIMs from other countries also. There are very few iPads (usually purchased as part of a subsidized package with a service provider) that are locked.

  • Can i use it at away from home

    can we use apple tv away from home

    Yes if you have a network.  Say you have internet access elswhere but you're computer is home.  You could still watch netflix and rent movies and tv shows for example.  Or say you have your content on your laptop, iPhone or iPad and have that with you - you'd have access to that on your Apple TV as well regarless of where you are - as long as you have a network.
