What GSM Carriers Does The Verizon BlackBerry 8830 Support?

by Robb Dunewood on April 5, 2007 · 58 comments

The Verizon BlackBerry 8830 has been touted as being a “world phone” with both CDMA and GSM support. I know that Verizon and Vodafone have a some sort of relationship so it would make sense for the BlackBerry 8830 to work on various Vodafone networks around the globe, however, if the 8830 is truly a “world phone” it would need to run on multiple GSM carrier networks.

Does the BlackBerry 8830 come unlocked allowing it to run on any GSM network? If so, could you actually use the 8830 on AT&T or T-Mobile here in the U.S.?

If any of you BlackBerry insiders have a clue, let us know via the comments.

    Used my Verizon (they unlocked for me) BB8830 in Liberia, Africa last summer. I bought a Liberian (Lone Star) SIM card to use. Voice worked like a charm. Never tried internet or text though. I’m going to Egypt and other North African countries this summer. I wonder how it will work there.

    the 8830 will only work on cDMA network in the states because the gsm band does not support it. In other countries with 900/1800 gsm band it will work only if it is unlocked. T.mobile and ATT are on 850/1900 bands so it will not work.
