Okay, I just ordered an AT&T Blackberry Q10 (and freaking excited as heck about it!).....I should be able to use it on Cricket right? I probably should have asked before buying it, but I can still find use out of it if its not compatible.......i know alot of Verizon phones are "unlocked" if they are LTE phones......my Q10 should work with Cricket right?
Well, we're using Cricket right now on Google voice for work phones in my area on Verizon's network (my personal Q10 is VZW also). Problem is, Cricket was just purchased by someone else, and had an announcement on their site that they'd be switching to GSM by no later than March of 2015 if I recall correctly.
So your Q10 may not work so well initially on Cricket because they're mainly CDMA right now I believe, but within 9 months if not sooner you should be fine.

The Cricket store here ONLY sells GSM phones except ONE model...they got Galaxy S4, Lumia 520, iPhone 5c/5S......but I can just use a Cricket SIM right? I don't have to "unlock" it or anything?
Honestly, that's a question for your Cricket store. We're just using cheap flip phones for voice, not web access or 4G so I don't know.
You need to make sure the phone is unlocked to be able to use it on the Cricket network.
how do I go about getting it unlocked? the only time i've ever dealt with Unlocking phones is when I had an iPhone and that was done by software......my partner got an iPhone 3GS unlocked by calling AT&T that then directed them to Apple, which resulted in the phone being unlocked when syncing.....I just hope that getting this Q10 unlocked will be fast and easy.....
If you paid for it outright, call AT&T and ask them for the code or you can request it online. Otherwise you can find any of the unlocking peoples on here and pay for a code to unlock it.
Well I am getting it from eBay so it's second hand. I did talk to Cricket and they said they can unlock it for free most the time. Or sometimes it will work just by putting the SIM in.
