Want to buy an Unlocked BlackBerry Storm 9530..

To my undertsanding, a unlocked BlackBerry Storm 9530 will work on verizon correct?
My next question is that if i were to buy this phone, could i replace it with my current phone and not be forced to upgrade my plan?
Currently have no DATA plan at all, Just the boring Text/Call plans.
Really just want a better phone than my current phone, and i found this great BlackBerry at a low price unlocked!
I just want to text and call on it, while using a BlackBerry!

Only devices Verizon allows on their system are Verizon branded. So it would have to be a Verizon BB.
Also even buying elsewhere you are required to have data on a BB device.

    You can probably be absolutely sure any other source will be carrier locked

  • HT4515 I want to buy an unlocked 4s from apple and use it permanently on a foreign CDMA cell service (IUSA Cell in Mexico).  I am getting conflicting information.  Thoughts?

    I want to buy an unlocked 4s from apple and use it permanently on a foreign CDMA cell service (IUSA Cell in Mexico).  I am getting conflicting information on whether this is possible.  Apple website says the phones are unlocked for GSM use only. 
    I called apple when i bought an Ipad to help decide on a GSM vs CDMA version and was told that if I went to Mexico with a CDMA version of the Ipad (2) that i would call the carrier give them some numbers and they would activate it.  When i returned I was to call Verizon and reactivate it in the US.  I ultimately got the GSM version so i never tested the theory. 
    I am now thinking of getting the 4S to use in Mexico permanently but want to use it on a CDMA carrier because it is half the cost per month.  But will this work?  Thoughts?

    There is no such thing as an unlocked CDMA iPhone. All CDMA iPhones are carrier locked and the carriers do not allow unlocking. All legitimatly unlocked iPhones are GSM only The CDMA side is completely disabled in them.
    You can only use a CDMA iPhone if the carrier you want to use offers one.

  • I am residing in Doha, Qatar (Middle East) and I wanted to buy the unlock iPhone 4S but not sure if the phone will work here... please help... thanks

    It does not. It has listed :ATX Connector 24 (20+4) Pin X 1 PC, P4-12V 4 Pin X 1 PC, SATA 15 Pin X 2PC, IDE/Molex 4 Pin X 6
    You need something with 2x PCI Express 6 pin connectors.
    If you have enough 4 pin connectors left over after hooking up the rest of your computer this might still work though, if you use some adapters. They require two 4 pin connectors to power one 6 pin. I recommend looking inside your computer and figuring out which connectors you will need.

  • Blackberry Storm 9530 sync with Ical?

    Does anyone know how to sync their blackberry storm with their ical or entourage calendar 2004? I can't. Is it even possible?

    After spending hours with 'pocketmac' and the 'missingsync' getting nowhere with trying to synce my BB Bold with my Mac I stumbled across Google! If you open an account with them (free) you have the ability to upload your mac calendar and you address book will sync with google from the address book preferences. After you have uploaded what you need you can then use "google sync" to transfer your calendar and address book to your BB. The calendar does not sync with your mac and you will have to edit it online but you can periodically upload a new vCal file onto the google calendar. This is by far and away the best and free way to get mac info into a BB. It's not perfect but oh so much better than the offical options available.
    The only other true way to achieve sync is to boot into windoze and buy outlook. Then everything works perfectly, but who want's to do that? Take a look at the google option, it's the best I've found so far after HOURS of messing around with the other sync apps!

  • Blackberry storm 9530

    has anyone every had trouble going to app world and having to sign in on your blackberry email account and having an error message come up stating that "unable to validate the email address and password combination. (error id: 30601)"? it to update app world and I keep getting this message.

    Please explain exactly what you need for your Storm 9530.
    Do you have the BIS BlackBerry Data Plan on your mobile provider account?
    Do you know that the 9530 model BlackBerry were built specically for two USA carriers, Sprint and Verizon?
    >> ALSO: You have your mobile phone number listed as your "My Mobile Provider" or carrier. Putting your phone number out on the internet on these public forums for the world to see, is not wise. To change that, at the top of this page click on My Settings > Personal Profile > Personal Information, and in the entry block for "Carrier" type the name of your mobile provider.

  • I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 5c in America and use it in Europe. On the Apple Website it says, that you can then only use it, by using a GSM-Compatible sim. What is that?

    Hello, I want to buy an iPhone 5c. Because it's cheaper in America, i'd like to buy it there, but it says it requires a GSM-compatible sim! Please tell me what that is!
    Thanks

    Thanks AnaMusic! But I don't need the warranty. All I need is the phone  . But does anyone know what a GSM-Compatible s Sim is?

  • I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 5c in USA, find a no contract SIM card for USA, and also be able to use it on trips to UK, possibly changing the sim card there. What model should I get and is this possible?

    I cannot use T-Mobile, no reception in my house.

    Hey samfromshrewsbury,
    Thanks for the question. The following purchase page may have the information you are looking for:
    iPhone 5c - Buy iPhone 5c in white, pink, yellow, blue, or green - Apple Store (U.S.)
    http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5c
    If you buy a SIM-free iPhone, you will need to purchase a GSM-compatible nano-SIM card separately. In the United States, you can purchase such a SIM from AT&T or T-Mobile. When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5c from a local GSM carrier. The unlocked iPhone 5c model is A1532 (GSM).
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Storm 9530 Personal Email Setup Option not there

    I recently just bought an unlocked Blackberry Storm 9530. I am new to the Blackberry OS. I put in my SIM card and texting and calling works fine. I am trying to use my Yahoo email on the device but I cannot configure it. When I go into Email Setup, there is no option for "I want to create or add an email address" but only "I want to use a work email account with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server". I don't have an Activation code so I am look for the option to add a personal email. The problem is that it is not there to select. What should I do?

    You need a specific BlackBerry data plan on legacy devices. If you do have it, then for some reason you didn't get the service books. If you don't, then once you add it you will receive the service books and then have the capability to set up Internet email.
    Contact your mobile service provider. Either add the BlackBerry plan if you need it or else have your service provider check your account if you are supposed to have the plan already.  And your provider can resend service books if that is what is needed.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    507 error code simply means no operating system is detected on the device.
    See the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.
    First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
    1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

    You will need to go to your BIS account login and use the Change Device setup where you input the new PIN and IMEI of the new device.
    You should also use the Desktop Manager > Switch Device Wizard to move data from the old device to the new.

    It can be unlocked through an unlocking vendor, such as Horizon Wireless. They are reputable people and treat you right.
