does the blackberry storm take sims

No it won’t work, as you’d need a Sim Card or Verizon’s wireless transmitter fitted into the phone.

Well I got a sim card from tmobile
More of the ‘ask questions first, Google it later’ mentality that is the WBB Helpdesk, I see.
The BlackBerry Storm 9530 is an international and worldwide electronic communicating device, featuring CDMA with EV-DO Rev. A data, UMTS with HSDPA, and quad-band GSM with EDGE data access speed. The BlackBerry Storm 9500 does not include the CDMA module and is destined for use outside North America. However, the BlackBerry Storm only has European, Oceania, Asia and Brazil UMTS and HSDPA frequency bands. Therefore if the BlackBerry Storm is used with GSM wireless carriers in North America, the BlackBerry Storm will only be able to access wireless internet at EDGE data speed maximum. This is because GSM carriers in North America, namely AT&T, T-Mobile, Rogers and Fido do not operate on the same frequency bands for 3G as the rest of the world. If BlackBerry Storm is used in Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania or Brazil, HSDPA wireless data speed can be achieved, provided that the local GSM network supports it.[8] The phone will use the primary network technology of its intended carrier (Verizon) when traveling domestically in the US, and rely upon the GSM/UMTS/HSDPA networks of Vodafone mainly when traveling abroad. There are currently no unlocked and unbranded versions available for the GSM Blackberry Storm however unlocking the phone will allow it to be used with any GSM service provider.

thanx buddy
I got a BB 9530 Storm unlocked on Verizon and it takes any sim card i got my orange contract sim in it
ya all blackberry’s will work on sims. I bought a blackberry storm which was locked to USA Verizon network (which is CDMA).
I took the phone to India, unlocked it (unlock code can be purchased online, like from ebay etc). Then I am using it in GSM network, using Vodafone connection. It works perfect. I have activated Blackberry Internet service and now I can browse websites, could configure upto 10 emails (like gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc). Everything works perfect…
I went to Youtube and found many videos on how to unlock blackberry etc, and followed the instructions after purchasing the unlock code… So don’t worry… Just purchase a blackberry handset from anywhere in the world, if it is locked, just unlock it, and you are done…. Blackberry rocks @@@@@!!!!!!!!!!
