Put your BlackBerry to use by activating it on the prepaid account of your choice. There are several prepaid providers that offer BlackBerry services. To ensure your BlackBerry continues to function the way a BlackBerry was designed to function and that all of the features work as they were meant to, it is preferable to activate a Verizon BlackBerry on a Verizon Prepaid BlackBerry account. However, if preferred, there are other options that will also work depending on the services you desire.
Instructions
1. Activate the phone on a Verizon prepaid BlackBerry account. You will pay for the flat monthly calling plan plus additional charges for the use of data features such as web and picture messages.
2. Flash the phone over to another network such as Cricket or MetroPCS. This is done by taking the phone to a dealer for the other cell phone provider and requesting the flash. There will be a fee and, once completed, the dealer can also set up the new prepaid phone account for you.
3. Contact a service such as Unlock to Talk or Flash My Phone to have the phone flashed. You can purchase a kit, visit one of their stores or have the phone remotely flashed through these services. Then the phone will be ready for use on the prepaid network of your choice.
