Hey folks. A friend of mine gave me their Verizon Blackberry Curve. Does anyone know if it's possible to use a prepaid card with this? For example would I be able to buy one of those verizon prepaid unlimited texting cards and use it? Or could I even buy a to go phone and put the sim card in this one? Any information would be helpful. I've done a lot of googling but I can't find a solid answer for this one.

Don't know about that one, but with the Storm you need a data package.


also, have you checked for a sim card insertion? I didn't think Blackberrys had removable sim cards.

I'm pretty sure data plans are optional if you already have the phone. But from what I understand verizon won't SELL you a blackberry unless you get a data plan.
