    New BB user. Why unlock, what are the advantages? My carrier is Verizon. Thanks.

    1) To use the phone on any other GSM carrier network
    2) To avoid international roaming charges
    3) Can increase the sale value of the phone.

    All of this is moot however seeing as VZW is a CDMA carrier
    and your model cannot be unlocked

    you can't unlock... it is only for gsm phones so you can use any sim card in them....

    So Sprint can't be either? If ATT gets anything like Simply everything I'm there.
