this is a little complicated, but I'm hoping that one of you geniuses (no sarcasm) can give me a little insight.
Recently I unlocked my bb tour, due to the fact that where I will be living for the next few months has no digital/data service on verizon I am in the process of purchasing some prepaid data for At&t (because they have a cell tower here). Assuming I switch my tour from CDMA to GSM and that I have prepaid data, will my blackberry pin seamlessly switch between the networks? I do have a different phone number with each service provider. verizon has its own number as does my at&t sim card.
What I am trying to understand is when I switch my phone between GSM (at&t) and and CDMA (verizon) will I be able to use, say bbm, on either network/phone number?
I was told that since my phone is unlocked there is no need to have my pin released.. Any insight or advice or experience with this would be huge.
..when I manually switch back and forth my pin will just go along?
I'm mainly concerned that when I go to use bbm on at&t it won't work because the pin is also registered on another network and phone number.
My goal is to be able to go onto at&t and do my data stuff when there is no verizon coverage but also be able to go back and use the data services on verizon when there is proper coverage.
Won't work or at least it shouldn't. You will need a BB data plan to get BB features such as: bbm & push services. You can already rule out being able to use AT&T for BlackBerry features on prepaid.
There are other reasons why it won't, but the one above is a big enough.
any chance you could explain a little? I'm pretty sure that with the gophone prepaid you can use a blackberry... there is a 100mb that you can buy prepaid. any help would be greatly appreciated.
