Question
I HAVE A BLACKBERRY STORM  AND I WANTWD TO KNOW IF I GOT IT UNLOCKED WOULD IT WORK WITH MY BOOST MOBILE SIM CARD I HAVE THE UNLIMITED 50.00 A MTH PLAIN NOT PRE PAID......PLEASE PLEASE HELP

Answer
The BlackBerry Storm will not work with Boost. Your Boost SIM works on an iDEN network and the Storm has a CDMA and GSM radio antenna, but nothing that will allow it to work on the iDEN network. You would need an unlocked Nextel phone or another Boost phone. Those are the only ones that will work with your SIM card. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
