Buy a Verizon Blackberry Cell Phone
If you are a cell phone user who is interested in switching to a Blackberry device, you may wish to consider using Verizon as your service provider. The company with a reputation for the largest network with the best coverage in the United States offers several such phones. Phones that operate on the Verizon network are in general not functional on other networks, they do not use SIM cards. There is however, more than one way that you can buy a Blackberry cell phone that operates on the Verizon network.
Instructions
1. Visit a Verizon wireless store in person. There you will be able to see the various Blackberry models up close and give them a hands-on tryout. You will also be able to get face-to-face customer service and have any of your questions answered by Verizon employees themselves. You will likely be offered a substantial discount on a Blackberry if you are willing to commit to a 1- or 2-year service contract.
2. Go to the official Verizon wireless website and browse the Blackberry phones and service plans there. You can read about the features and specifications of the phones, as well as get pricing information, all with just a few clicks of your mouse and from the convenience of home. The phone will then be delivered to your doorstep, usually within two business days. The Verizon site also allows you to take advantage of discounts on phones by agreeing to a service contract.
3. Participate in an online auction for a Verizon-compatible Blackberry device. The eBay website has a huge selection of Blackberry devices up for bid. The process of setting up an account and bidding has been made very easy so that any computer user can do it. Make sure that you are buying from a reputable source with very good feedback ratings, and that the phone you are buying will work on the Verizon network. These specifications should be listed on the page with the item details.
4. Consider buying an "almost new" Blackberry from a current Verizon customer. The Craigslist website is a possible a way to find a phone like this, and there is usually a decent selection of items since sellers can list their items for free. Buy only from someone local, and beware of scams. Follow the Craigslist recommendations for safely conducting business over the site. See the Resource section for their address.
