I have searched for an answer to my question but did not find it. So I figured I would ask here. I have an old 8830 that I would like to let my son use as an regular cell phone. Meaning, use it just for texting and calls. Is there a way I can reuse the BB as a regular phone?
Thank you for your response. I am on Verizon and my sons enV stopped working, so I figured I would just give him my old BB 8830 and let him use it. He currently has an unlimited texting plan. Can I just take the BB into Verizon and have them port the number into the BB?
It should be that simple. If his enV will power up at all, the store clerk can also port his address book from the enV to the BlackBerry. Since you aren't buying a device, they may charge for this service.
I don't know if you went into the verizon store or not but your best bet is to do it over the phone with CS. And like they said if you do activate it make sure to check the bill to see if they added the data plan
