Will the Blackberry Pearl 8130 work both in Canada and in the Philippines?

Question

I wanted to buy the Blackberry Pearl 8130 but intend to use it first in the Philippines for the remaining of this year then use it in Canada by next year. I'm not sure if it will only take a change in SIM to get the unit working with all of it's features. Best interest would be use of personal email (Yahoo) and the GPS.

Answer 1

The Pearl 8130 is a CDMA phone. It doesn't use a SIM card.

If you want a Pearl that is GSM, you need to get the 8110 (if you want GPS)
