It seems someone has already unlocked the Verizon BlackBerry Storm for use on T-Mobile’s GSM network. While this remains to be seen it sure is interesting to hear The process is said to be done by sourcing a SIM card unlock from Verizon Wireless, along with updating the handsets service books using software made for the BlackBerry Storm.

After all is said and done the Storm reportedly works with T-Mobile’s 2G-voice network and Verizon’s 3G data network at different moments. The reason being because GMS and CDMA cannot be active at the same time, they must be switched between. This seems like quite a hassle in our minds.

On a side note the VZ Navigator is reported to work on both networks as it usually would.  Using this process to “unlock” your BlackBerry Storm does not void your warranty like reflashing the firmware to fit a different carrier. We really don’t feel that the costs of this method are worth the hassle you would have to put up with everyday.

    I got mine unlocked at http://www.cellfservices.com

    I was a little scared to buy it online, but they always responded quickly with my e-mails. I think I sent them 5 e-mails and they sent me 5 back. We got all of that done in 20 minutes haha. By far the best customer service. They have the unlocking instructions available on their website and they e-mailed me video instructions too.

    Using my Storm on T-mobile now :)
