to the new ones, and they gave me their old one, a blackberry 8830.

i took my at&t simcard out and tried to get it to work, but it wont :(

i just want to use it for texting and stuff, no need for internet, and i was wondering if u guys know what i need to do.

You can't use the 8830 on AT&T.
It will not function on North American GSM frequencies.

You are out of luck. But seems like you have nice neighbors

Maybe you could sell it and use the money towards the purchas of a new BlackBerry?
