- I just recently picked up my first BB and its a Tour. So I was wondering is it possible to have 2 BB and just swap the sim card from one to another for whichever one I want to use? I currently have a non camera Tour due to work. But I like the Onyx that's coming out. Also I know Verizon doesn't carry the bold, so is there anyway to buy one and get it to work on verizons network?

Swapping the SIM works fine for voice and SMS text, but you will not be connected to BIS, no email, messenger, Internet Browser and all third party applications that use data.
Changing your PIN on your BIS account will do the job. Some carriers allow you to maintain your own BIS, others require you make the change through their customer service.

@Reed - in the scenario you posed above, what happens to BBM? I'd presume it's PIN-based and works regardless of SIM or carrier, right?

to call. I think you can do that only 3 times within a billing cycle on Verizon.
I've used a Bold and 8900 on AT&T and since they use sim cards, I've simply
just switched the sim card, make a pin update on BIS, and that's that.08-27-09 03:06 PMLike 0 - Also, the Bold will not work on Verizon. ATT is GSM, Verizon is CDMA. Never the twain shall be compatible.
