Can I use any Pearl 8100 phone with any serivce provider?

I had lost my phone and had AT&T service. I don't want to buy a new phone, so checking out what's for sale on Craigslist. Not all the Pearls for sale are for AT&T, but the 8100 series is supposed to be for most providers....is that right?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you get the device unlocked it should work on any GSM carrier. Now not all GSM carriers offer BlackBerry data services, but you should at least be able to use it for calling and text messages.

    It is advisable to purchase the phone in the country you intend to use it.
    1)  You will have Warranty...
    2)  your phone will work as expected.
    3)  Unless Purchased Directly from Apple as an UNLOCKED device, the iPhones will be Locked to a US Carrier.. usually for a 2 year contract period.

  • Can I use a pre-paid phone with regular plan?

    I am new to Verizon and since there is no sim card I wasn't sure if you could buy a pre-paid phone but use it with a regular monthly plan?  My husband already lost his phone and we are about 18 months from an upgrade!

    sh0425,
    I'm sorry about your husband's phone, luckily we do have options. Currently, a pre-paid device must be activated on a pre-pay account for six months before eligible to activate on a standard post-pay account. However, we do offer Certified Pre-Owned devices at a fraction of the cost of the devices at full retail. You can review all of our devices here: http://bit.ly/CPOdevices. If you have insurance on his line, you can file an insurance claim with Asurion at www.phoneclaim.com.
    Have a great day!

  • Can I use any smart phone to play webcam flash games?

    Can I use any smart phone to play webcam flash games?
    I'd tried to use my smartphone ( Android 2.2 + Flash Player 10 ) to play some "webcam flash games" with browser, but all failed, is anything necessary must downloaded to smartphone first? or any other system (for example, IE9? Windows Phone 7?) can make it?

    The Flash Player forum is here:

  • My iphone 4s with the ISO 7.0.2 keeps crashing, i can barely use it as a phone. Going to switch to samsung tomorrow!!!!

    Ever since i upgraded to the newer ISO 6 and above my iphone 4s keeps crashing!
    I can barely use it as a phone, emails keeps crashing, crashing halfway during calls and even candy crush wont open!
    I was so upset to hear that the only solution was to 'purchase the newer iphone 5c or 5s to fix this problem' as you cannot go backwards with the ISO.
    I have always been loyal to Apple, but it seems such a shame that a piece of perfectly good hardware is now made obselete due to its software and the inflexibility of the company.
    This is environmentally unfriendly and just a big corporates money hungry way of hitting targets and satisfying its stakeholders!
    Apple if you want anymore of my money in the future, you better fix this problem.
    Maybe Samsung has a better solution to my phone issues.....

    Okay, switch.
    Why exactly do you believe that anyone in these user to user support forums cares?

    Maybe if basic troubleshooting was tried, instead of whining, a resolution could be found.
    There is no need to purchase a newer iPhone.  The 4S runs iOS6 and 7 perfectly fine.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Can i use ANY external CD/DVD drive with the NEW mac mini?

    We just got the newest Mac Mini and want to get an external drive for importing and burning CD's and DVD's.
    Can we use ANY external CD/DVD drive or do we NEED to use the "Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive."
    Thanks
    Eliot

    Maybe.
    I've had some situations where a non-Apple DVD drive would not do a particular job.  When I tried the same project with the Apple SuperDrive everything worked perfectly.
    This is an area where I would not try to save money.

  • Can I use any SATA hard drive with an iMac?

    Hi, I'm a PC user from birth, and want to purchase an iMac, but the 500gb-1tb isn't enough storage for what I currently have on my PC (I have 4x 250gb hard drives, plus I'd need more room for the Mac OS). My question is, can I use any HD in the iMac, or does it have to be a "mac" hard drive? Also, can I hook up any external hd's? If this is the case, I'll buy 5-10 external enclosures for my hd's and build a custom box for them all. (Or put it in a slower PC I have, and run as a server, as I have to sell my good PC to afford a iMac)

    My iMac reports its internal HD as 'WD3200AAJS' (WesternDigital Caviar SE line),
    so it appears to be a standard form-factor HD with a standard SATA interface.

    Google-around for photos of a disassembled Mid-2007 iMac. I ran across

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported, and likely has caused the problems you are experiencing.
    You'll need to go elsewhere for support.

  • I just bought an I phone and was playing Scrabble when an advertisement popped up and I tried to go back to the game and now I can't use any of my apps because whenever I touch one they shake and have an X on them.  What did I do?I just bought an I phone

    Relax. Nothing is wrong.
    You accidentally tapped-and-held a little too long and you entered what many people call "jiggly mode" - i.e. app reorganization and deletion mode. When in this mode, you can move apps around on your various home screens, create and organize app folders, and delete apps (by tapping the X).
    Exit this mode by tapping your Home Button one time.

  • I am from argentina and i want to buy an iPhone 5s, but in my country i can only use it if the phone is unlocked , i want to know if i buy one of t mobile with no contract and i travel to mi country ( internationaly) i can use it with a sim from argentina

    You should go onto the Tmobile web site and look around. Very soon a pop up window will ask you if you want to chat. You can try asking for someone who knows Spanish (if you prefer), they might have someone available who can chat with you in Spanish.
    I give this suggestion because I remember on the Tmobile website, you can order on line, but they let you choose to pay only a little money up front, then pay off the rest over 24 months, or you can choose to pay for it in full. However, their ordering process does not say whether the paid for in full phone is going to be unlocked or not.
    It may not be, You may have to make a request and say that since you have paid in full please unlock. I am not so sure that a paid for in full phone is automatically sold in unlocked state.
    This is why I suggest you talk to Tmobile to get a definite answer.
    Unless someone else on this forum knows for sure? Hope someone else jumps in to answer. But the best way is to ask for yourself directly from Tmobile.
