    I just went to college and the service sucks here and i'm gonna switch back to T-Mobile, but my contract isn't up til November of '10 so i need to force my Blackberry 8830 to roam on Verizon up here until Sprint terminates my service. Can anybody tell me with Verizon's SID is in this area and also how to access Sprint's CDMA Service Edit screen?

    You might have better luck finding info on howard forums... or crackberry forums...

    Is there an option to force the phone onto roam only? Or did Sprint do away with that on the 8330?
