BlackBerry Storm 9530
Has anyone used the Storm Global Yet?
I'm leaving for Jamacia in Feburary and wondered if anyone has used out of country. Does it work well?

I used the global feature. I had a previous global phone from verizon and all I had to do was make sure the phone was set to global and it would connect to the correct network. However with the storm i had to select the actual network myself otherwise it would just keep connecting to the most powerful network at the time and since Verizons contract is not with all networks I would get 911 service only.

That's good to know tkdamy! I will be getting the Storm next month. I have been a Verizon customer for the past 9+ years! Yes, I was with them when they were AirTouch or whatever they were called before lol
Im glad the Storm is a Global phone, as I do TONS of international travel and all the phones I get from Verizon aren't global phones. So what I end up doing is buying a prepaid plan in whatever country I'm in and use their piece of crap phone for the few weeks I am there.
That's funny your calls would get intercepted to another number. I'm going to Dubai this May and I hope that does not happen to me. I'll be sure to post a thread on my experience using the Storm in Dubai! 😁
