Can I make my Sprint Blackberry work with my Verizon Wireless account?
I was given a Sprint enabled Blackberry to use for work purposes on a temporary job. The job is over and I get to keep the Blackberry. Only problem is my cell service is through Verizon not Sprint. Is there anything I can do to make the blackberry compatible with Verizon?

CDMA cellphones are always "locked" to whatever provider they were assigned. In this case, Sprint. So, to echo everyone else, not possible. I'd sell it and use the proceeds to buy a Verizon BlackBerry. Or buy out your Verizon contract, I guess.

That said, if you can find such a rep who's willing to give it a try, it might work OK.
If not, Craigslist is your friend.
