shivani727 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 While using a Reliance CDMA SIM card, can I simultaneously use a GSM card of another network? I have not seen BB 8830 world edition being described as a DUAL SIM phone anywhere in the product literature. Dr Rajasekhar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mufaddal 678 Report post Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) ^^^ ur cdam connection needs to be programmed .. but in order to use sim card your phone has to be unlocked by the operator or else u wont be able to use airtel sim card . but gsm /cdma cant be used simultaneously .... one connection a time ...to change connection u will have to go into settings and select gsm/1*rtt everytime u want to change Edited April 6, 2009 by mufaddal_km Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mufaddal 678 Report post Posted April 6, 2009 the gsm service has to be unlocked either by the provider or by other means then only u can use gsm service ... if reliance /tata are selling unlocked phones then its good enough . the sprint ones u get from sadikk are unlocked to work with any gsm network if u have tata data connection ( which would be bis/bes ) then it will work only in cdma mode airtel gprs will work in gsm mode Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For data based services if you want to use the same handset for GSM, you firstly need to go to GSM operator office to check whether they can configure your handset on their network, if yes, then you have to get your phone deactivated from CDMA operator n it could be used for GSM then.
