Re: Change carrier

Which Storm do you have? Please update your profile with the model number, not hthe name.

If Telcel is a GSM carrier, then you need to get the device unlocked and have Telcel activate it on their network.

Re: Change carrier

You have to get the device unlocked. You can get the code from this forum: BlackBerry Forums Support Community - Unlock Your BlackBerry!!

You also have to ensure it's not still associated with an account on the last carrier. Contact the previous owner for that.

Re: Change carrier

I'm switching from sprint and going to get a Verizon account and I was told there would be no problem as long as it's unlocked.

Re: Change carrier

That's incorrect.
Verizon will not activate a Sprint device.

You will need to get a new device.
