I'm serious. There is no sim card in the slot. And when it boots up, I still connect to Verizon. And I can still make calls. The number on the other end shows up as my number.
YOu mean the SIM that came in the box? That's for international roaming. CDMA networks don't use the SIM otherwise as far as I know, someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong...
I do have one. But when there is no sim card in the phone, it still works...
and no, its not the SD card...
The Storm can be used on both GSM and CDMA networks. The SIM is only used on GSM networks (e.g. AT&T, Voda, various international carriers). When you're on Verizon, you're using the CDMA part of the phone, which doesn't use the SIM.
Right, so lets say if my number is 1234567 for VZW and my number is 7654321 for ATT. If the SIM card for ATT is in my 9530, which number is active?
It depends on which network your Storm is set to use at that moment in time. In your settings, you can select between different networks (e.g., CDMA, GSM, or automatic). While the Storm supports both GSM and CDMA networks, you can only be on one at any given time.

The BlackBerry will ask you when there is a SIM installed. Also, if you goto options, mobile network you'll see that there are different settings available for which ever network technology you want to use (GSM or CDMA)
