Cell phone techie advice needed.

OK gadget geeks.

If you buy one of those prepaid phone Blackberry's that you can get for less than half the price.....can you use them in another country with a different sim card? What do you need to do to use them there...... if you even can?

Don't see why not.

Don't see why not.

Big Gunns has heard about the phones being "locked". Big Gunns is on his way now to a techie friends work to ask him, but BG still wants an answer from you geeks if you have one.

Think it was a Blackberry curve. BG will go back and check. What do you need to do though...anything special?

[Royal Morphz]

What you're saying is that any quad band can be used????? Is there something that you'll need a techie to do to get it to work.....or is there something they do to the phone so it won't work?

[Big Gunns]

OK geeks, BG won't call you a "Geek" if you answer his question. Don't tell BG there's not one Geek out there that can answer BG.

Ahhh, I found your question. I'm not much of a cell phone geek, but when "I" have questions of this nature, I find myself heading to http://www.howardforums.com!
