admin answers:

You cannot use a GSM device on a CDMA network so no you cannot use the 9800 with Verizon.

The 9930 (the CDMA version of the 9800) should eventually be available for Verizon customers but Sprint will get it first.

Donna asks…

can you use a blackberry torch on verizon network?

my contract is up on my 2 year verion phone and i want a blackberry and the torch looks like the best one to get but i have Verizon not AT&T so can i buy the torch online and program it to Verizons Network like a normal verizon phone in there stores?

admin answers:

No. AT&T phones run on a GSM network, and Verizon phones run on a CDMA network. I looked into doing that myself. Hope this helps!

Here's all you really need to know - Verizon will not activate any phone that doesn't carry the Verizon brand.

John asks…

verizon does not have the blackberry torch but if i buy an unlocked one will it work

Verizon is a CDMA provider and the Torch is a GSM device.

A GSM device will not work on Verizon's CDMA network.
