Any way to use a Verizon Blackberry 8330 on USCC?

[708BrickSquad]

I am currently a customer with Us Cellular, and have purchased a used Verizon Blackberry 8330.
I have done some research, but have not gotten a clear answer on if it is possible to use the Verizon phone on USCC's network.
I am aware that they have close network similarities but are not sure if what I am seeking is possible.

Call or email US Cellular.

It's possible but it's against USCC's policy. There's a couple other threads about activating non-USCC phones around here, they provide more detail.

US Cellular doesn't have a good or reliable way to email them.

USCC will only allow USCC phones to work. You have to have the phone activated by them and they won't allow you to do it. Unless you have someone on the inside of activations. lol. You can't unlock USCC's phones either. I do know the new Tour has a slot for a sim card in case you travel out of the country and need access to your phone.

You can use it on Tmobile or ATT in the US though. Just not another CDMA carrier.

The OP said 8330, not Tour.
