I asked because they are my daughters. The black one works perfect, the pink one will work but not the little round button in middle. Now, I am trying to be honest, but I am sure the pink one canbefixedprettyquick . Parts off eBay or old phone
Note: I am a 10 year Us Cellular customer-BLACKberry's do not use a cardand they only work on US Cellular. There is no lock or unlock. If you are a new customer to US Cellular you can either sign up for a 1 year plan and then after than you go on whats called a Belif Plan where you can leave at anytime. If you want you can also probably have this mad eto be a Pre-Paid accoutnt but since I have never gone that route, I cant advise there. Also you definitily need the trackball to work or the phone doesnt work. I have always had Blackberry's since I first started. Hope this helps someone. About the trackball though-just call a US Cellular store and ask approx cost to fix, they will help you. Legend Laraine
Let me clarify a bit what I said-This particular Blackberry -if it says it is a US Cellular, it wont work on another network no matter flashed or not. It does not use a card but it will hold a memory card. Legend Laraine
I checked at the us cellular store today, they said to bring them in. Us cellular is carrier, made by motorola. I don't know about sims cards they said their new ones did but didn't know about these., don't have time to take them in. You don't need to make them into prepaid to use for us cellular. We ve completed contracts and these phones were purchased without contract and turned on, I also am now belief member. My kids have purchased lots of phones from different places, took them in. Or called and they activated them without problems. There are no contracts or bills, whatever that will keep you from activating with us cellular.
