Cincinnati Bell blackberry swap to Verizon Blackberry - GSM-Forum

Teh_haxxor · 10-20-2010, 19:18

Quick question, i've got a Blackberry STORM and my girlfriend is using a Blackberry Curve model, only her provider is Cincinnati Bell, and mine is Verizon. I just ordered myself a new phone, but she needs a new one and could use this STORM I have. I'm not sure if Cincinnati bell still uses SIM, but is it possible for me to unlock my phone, and transfer her card, or GSM to my phone, so she can use it? And yes she has the data plan required for all Blackberrys.

If both your phones use SIM cards, then you should just be able to swap over the SIM to the Storm and enter the MEP2 unlock code to make it active.

From memory, RIM also implemented a new BIS procedure about 6 months ago, that should instantly release the Storms PIN from your account and associate it with hers.

Thanks for that, but I don't believe Verizon uses SIM, but I think hers does. How do I check, isn't their a card under the battery or something? I'm sorry for the novice response, i've not fooled with this very much.

Alright, I just found that my Verizon Blackberry STORM does have a SIM card, I pulled it out myself. And i'm assuming hers has a cinncinati bell SIM card, so I should be able to just swap them. Next question, how do I unlock MY Blackberry STORM to work on HER network, (Cincinnati Bell)?
