Re: AT&T versus Verizon Wireless

It is unlimited, as long as you aren't tethering, or using a data card.

Blackberries (at least the newer ones) are not crippled in any way on VZW. Full standalone GPS, download applications from anywhere you want, GSM unlock code provided without charge so you can use your own SIM when abroad. This is "out of the box" with the officially supported software; no "jailbreaking" required.

Can you upload your own MP3s to use as ringtones on a Blackberry? I used to be able to use BitPim to upload my own MP3 ringtones but then Verizon locked it out of their newer phones. I now use a text message workaround, but it costs me for each text message I send. (Not on an unlimited text plan just yet.) This can be a pain if your "should be great" MP3 ringtone winds up sounding awful.

Verizon's "World Phones" have had SIM Cards for quite a while now. Take the BlackBerry 8830, for example. In order to be a World Phone, it needs a GSM radio, since CDMA is in the minority across the world. Much of Europe, and other countries primarily use GSM. CDMA is still used in other countries, but not to the extent of GSM.

If I'm not mistaken, they come with a Verizon SIM by default, and can be used on Verizon's International plans. And as stated before, if unlocked, you can use the GSM radio with any old SIM. I'm not sure if that applies in the US, as I'm an AT&T customer, and don't have much experience with Verizon devices.

Which is one reason I'm never switching over.

I'm still on Alltel in Montana and my Unlimited Data *IS* Unlimited Data. Teathered or not.

Plus, how do they know you're teathering to a PPC-6800 anyway?

So how's Google Voice, Skype and slingbox on the iPhone doing?
