Using Foreign Sim with Storm
- I got my Blackberry Storm unlocked yesterday by calling the verizon rep. He help guide me unlock my strom. Now, I'm traveling to the Philippines next week and I want to be able to use my phone. I tried to put in a Philippine Smart Sim that I still have right now to the unlock storm but Verizon is still active? Is that because I'm still here in the US? I just want to make sure that the foreign sim will work in the Philippines and I wont get charged for roaming fee.
Do I have to change any settings when I put in the foreign sim?

I'll try to change it to GSM. Thanks.02-03-09 08:03 PMLike 0 - IIRC, the default for the network setting is Global, and in the US, the Storm prioritizes CMDA (Verizon) over GSM. You have to manually change it to GSM for the Storm to chose GSM over CDMA.
If your Storm is unlocked and your network is set to GSM, then you'll be using your SIM card and connecting via GSM.02-03-09 09:11 PMLike 0 - As long as it is set on GSM it connects via whatever SIM is in there. I always do it abroad and you shouldn'y have any problem at all.02-04-09 09:39 AMLike 0
