- The 8530 is a CDMA-only device that does not use SIM cards, so it cannot be unlocked.
AT&T is a GSM network, which requires SIM cards.
You cannot unlock an 8530, and it cannot be used on AT&T's network.
Do not purchase that device unless your carrier is VZW.02-09-11 12:41 PMLike 0 -

The 8530 does not have a SIM card slot. The slot in the 8530 is for a microSD card. The 8530 cannot be unlocked, and cannot be used on a GSM network.havalm3 and Heavy Fluid like this.02-09-11 01:17 PMLike 2 - wow thanks, your right, it cant take a sim card but it has a cut out...not trying to be funny...you are absolutely right, this review helped me out a little more. but thanks alot though...you saved me my money!!

- Hey guys!
I just wanted to let you know I found this thread while searching about getting my Verizon World Edition 8530 up and running on T-Mobile.
Turns out there must have been a small run of "world phones" that have a SIM card slot!! Now my next project is figuring out how to unlock that SIM card slot...
I have an original Storm that has a SIM slot as well which I unlocked. Fun times! Increases their value for when you decide you want to sell it to a friend and get another phone as well!08-18-12 01:09 AMLike 0 - If the BB for verizon is a world phone and has the sim card slot, you can unlock it. I just unlocked my VZW 9930 and am using it on AT&T. I can BBM, internet, calls, MMS, text, etc. The only things I had to give up were: no 3G speed, EDGE only and i can't figure out how to get my voicemail to work. But this is my personal phone so voicemail isn't a big deal to me. I'm happy.08-18-12 08:15 AMLike 0
