question about using Tour in Barbados
- What is the most cost effective way to be able to use my Tour in Barbados. Sprints international prices are way to high. 1.69/min calls, .50/ min for outgoing txts and .05 for incoming, 2.00/MB for emails whether you open them or not. I did a quick online search for prepaid sim cards and I have a few questions. Is my Sprint Tour "unlocked" to be able to use one of these sim cards and does the sim card just cover phone calls or does it cover data also?

On your BlackBerry, go to Options > Advanced Options > Sim Card.
At that screen type MEPD on your keyboard. A new menu will pop up.
Look for Network in the list.
If your device is "unlocked", it should say Disabled or Inactive. If it says Active, it's still locked to that carrier.
Also, look into Digicel pre-paid SIMs in Barbados, they offer prepaid BIS services which let you access internet, e-mail, bbm etc at a significantly cheaper rate than with Sprint.

- Actually you'll be surprised to know that most of Sprint's more recent phones come unlocked out of the box. None of the other North American carriers do it, but at least they do!07-27-10 09:07 PMLike 0
