Very exciting when such this thread on google search. I have got a verizon blackberry 8830 from the other third party and it should be a second hand BB. Unfortunately the SIM was locked and I'm working out of the states. It's really a headache because it means useless for me as i can't & don't want use the other people's CDMA network out of the states. Does anybody could help to make a call for me to Verizon to unlock the SIM or give me some idea to email them the details for unlocking. I am much appreciated if you could help and this is my first time use blackberry phone.
