Sorry if this question has already been asked, and if I put this in the wrong section, I apologize to the mods.

I currently have a BlackBerry 9630 with a local CDMA carrier. I am almost certain that it comes unlocked right from my carrier (that is a detail, I will have to find out myself). My question to all of you is, I am planning on moving away to U.K, where I plan on using Orange Telecom as my carrier. Would the Blackberry 9630 work with the Orange Telecom SIM card?

It should work fine. I have a couple of users who have 9630's and they use them in their country's (China, for one) and they work fine with their local SIMs.

Sorry, I should probably add, that the CDMA carrier that I am using currently does NOT use SIM cards, they program the phone with the appropriate settings manually. Will this be an issue when I go to try and use a SIM card with the phone? Or will the settings on the SIM card over rule the settings that are programmed manually into the phone?

C'mon - anyone?

Mine has worked fine abroad. No CDMA carriers use SIM cards, so the presence/absence of the CDMA vs. GSM network is what drives which system is used.

Stated another way -- stop fussing!

@djm2

fussing? whoe's fussing. I just wanted a straight answer. Sorry I don't completely understand the difference between CDMA and GSM, thats why I posted the question here.

Was it too much to ask to get a straight answer without you being a jackass about it
