Can I just take the sim card and put in the bb, and will it work?
If the phone is unlocked
Do tmo bb's come unlocked, or can they be unlocked by a technical person, or do they need to be sent to a service to do so? Same for ATT bbs I guess.
You call and get a code, enter it in, unlocked
I have vzw bb phone for work, but wanted a separate phone for personal. I got a cheap pay as you phone, but figured would like a smart phone so I don't need to carry a mp3 and camera and personal phone with me on the weekends, just a bb will do all that. i don't want to spend money signing up for a contract, I can just add $ to pay as you as I need it. I assume I can text via this plan as well. thanks.
You can do that... you have to pay full price for the phone or hit the internet.
