If I buy a BlackBerry Pearl off of ebay and...?

Question

If I buy a BlackBerry Pearl off of ebay and its says that the carrier of that particular phone is AT&T and I put my Centennial Wireless SIMS card into it, will it still work??

And if it doesn't then why not?

Answer 1

if it's locked all you have to do is go to the cell phone carrier and have it unlocked.

half the price and just one simple trip.

Heck I could sell you mine for half the price.

I get bored of my phones offly easy.

Answer 2

First of all, Ebay? For a Blackberry? uh..... I would save up for a new one.

Answer 3

First off, you need to buy an UNLOCKED phone off ebay.

If you already bought the phone then of COURSE it won't work...it's locked into AT&T and in order for any other SIM Card to work, you will need the unlock Code for that particular phone.

Try calling AT&T directly and asking for the unlock code for that phone.

If you ever buy off ebay, make good and darn SURE that the phone you buy is UNLOCKED.  It should say so clearly in the ad.
