They all can but you would need to have the GSM side of
the phone unlocked first. Here you will find reputable vendors
who can help with that.

Cell Unlocking Companies

After that there is a little work that needs to be done but
Crackberry.com member pltaylor laid out very nice
instructions in the two threads below:

You'd need to get the Storm model 9500, which is Vodafone branded. This will have quadband GSM (EDGE for data) bands. You can also unlock a Verizon branded model 9530, too and use it.

One way or another, I'd recommend waiting for the Storm 2 to come out within the next few weeks, you'll like it much better.

From a data perspective, I'd rather stick with the 8900 as it has more channels when it comes to the EDGE connection... long story short - the 8900 will be much faster than either the Storm or Storm 2 when used on a basic GSM network.

What data plan do you have? You should be able to use your pre-existing pland. Beware neither the GSM (9500 - vodafone) nor the CDMA (9530 - verizon) have WiFi. The Storm 2 will have WiFi.

Hope that helps.
