Welcome to the BBForums.

Yes, you can do so. You will need to purchase an unlocked device, and an international voice and data plan from your carrier, such as Tmobile.

ok sorry to sound a little bit stupid but how will i connect through my home network?
the phone im looking at(on ebay)has the it policy removed does this matter atall-or is it what i need removed?

Buying a BlackBerry off eBay - BlackBerryFAQ

Read that.^^

If your carrier is TMo here in the US, you will need to purchase their International calling plan and International BlackBerry Data Plan.

There are other options as well (using a local SIM from the country you are in, getting a data plan there, etc.), but honestly, none of those options will easy nor cheap.

You really can't "remove" an IT Policy, you can replace it with a blank one. Be very careful buying a used BB off eBay for a trip coming up shortly.

ok thanks alot for your help sanders, i might just leave it till i come back in sept(im in uk)
but thanks for your help
