No Space For Sim In Sprint Blackberry? by fischer014: 12:33pm On Aug 03, 2010 |
Hello Fellow Nigerians, I just received a blackberry sent to me from the US, its a sprint Blackberry Curve 8530. I seem to be confused about it as there is no space to insert a sim card, I thought there wouldn't 'cos its customized for sprint. My question is, is there a way it can be unlocked and maybe 5 use another sim that will work with it here in Nigeria? Please Nairalanders I need ur help on this as I am in a dying need to get this smart phone rocking, an idea or a clue will also be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. |

if there's no sim card slot then its a CDMA version wich can only work wit networks like starcomms, multilinks etc; unfortunately they dont offer blackberry services |

lynxnoon: thanks a bunch lynxnoon. does it mean its useless in Nigeria? I read some article online on the possibility of converting cdma into gsm network, how true is that? once again thanks |

Your sprint BB is a CDMA phone and it is impossible to convert cos the technology and the way it processes telecom signal is fundamentally different from a GSM phone. So what you have now is a Sprint branded piece of brick. |

fischer014:your best bet will be to send the phone back n request for a gsm model cos like d top poster said ,. . . .the technology is different unless the fone has both gsm n cdma, but it obviouslly doesnt since there's no sim card slot. take care n all d best |

thanks for your info lynxnoon, but I have a question at hand, can the blackberry browse using the wi-fi? It must have some use as I can't send it back, please let me know if it does browse with w-fi and how. thanks in anticipation |
