Does Verizon use sim cards?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Verizon does not use sim cards up until recently near the end of 2008 i heard they will be accepting phones from different carriers to use on their network as long as the phone has been unlocked. I'm not sure when or if they will even go through with this, which would be nice but that is what i heard..

that is not true they will not take phones from other plans

Apparently you can have just one sim card even if the phone is dual sim compatible.

EDIT: 'Dual SIM' - simply gives the user the option to use two different numbers in one handset. It's a users choice - not mandatory.

Are there phones that accept 2 SIM cards so a user can use 2 different cell phone providers if so does this include blackberrys?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

At this current time there are no cell phones that are designed for the united states market that can accept 2 sim cards. I know that there are phones sold by Verizon wireless however that can use Verizon cdma network which doesn't require a sim card and then allow a sim for uses overseas on Vodafone's network. Besides that if you are really that set on having 2 sim cards in one phone then there are a few site that sell a piece which must be soldered onto the circuit board within the phone and then i have no idea how you can switch between the 2 sims.
