Hi there, as the title said, can unlocked verizon q 10 works in Australia? I don't care about lte though, as long as I get the 3g ,sms and call to work.

I have checked the verizon website and the gsm network band is compatible with Vodafone Au, I am just not sure whetehr they will lock it down when I use it oversea.

Please help, I am going to buy 1 and it is my first blackberry device ever.

May I ask why Verizon's I tend to go the UK route if I was to parallel import one.

Cause I am buying off the marketplace in this forum and it is an affordable price for me.

Verizon's 3G is CDMA. So if the network you are using it on is GSM, then I believe you'll fall back to 2G only.

Talk/text shouldn't be any problem as it's quad-band GSM, it's 3G data that could be an issue. Verizon claims it can do UMTS/HSPA on 900 and 2100 MHz so if those are the frequencies that your carrier uses it "should" work. Nobody here in the US uses those frequencies though so I haven't heard of anyone actually doing it. Verizon phones are completely unlocked on the GSM side. Hopefully someone who has gotten it to work in real life will chime in.

I have got the information from this site,https://forums.crackberry.com/e?link...token=9DxG5l06
Networks: Digital Band 13 LTE (700 MHz), Dual Band 0,1 CDMA (850/1900 MHz)
Networks: Global: Quad Band 1,2,5,8 HSPA (2100/1900/850/900 MHz) Quad band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

This page is the vodafone au frequency, they support 2100mhz

Vodafone Support - Network coverage and mobile frequency

So I assume 3g is supported?correct me if I am wrong.

By the way, the worst case is I can only use 2g which I don't mind too. What I am more concern is will verizon lock the device down if I use it on other carriers? and can I still make normal call and sms?

This device I am buying is unlocked though.

I bought both my Storm & Torch here in Hong Kong both are Verizon phones unlocked and I did not have a problem with roaming anywhere in the world I went. I mainly run my phone 3G and no issues not even in Japan or Korea.
Now Rocking with my Z10.

So I can conclude that, it shouldnt be any problem if I use this phone in Australia?

By the way, since I am not using CDMA network, should I care about the ESN?
