Call your carrier. For BB to work you will need a BlackBerry specific plan. May not change your charges but the setup must be done by the carrier. Some carriers allow online changes, too.

As long as it's not an iPhone 4 SIM, yes, but you will need to be switched from iPhone data services to BlackBerry. If you already had unlimited data with an iPhone, you are entitled to keep it when switching to a BlackBerry. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool, a liar, or both. Make SURE you address this when talking to customer care to have everything switched over.

Also, ask them to "reactivate basic voicemail" when they swap you over to the BB data service.
