Blackberry sim in iphone?

Ok - have a weird situation:
I am on T-mo with an unlocked / JB iphone.

Company I work for is going to provide us with AT&T blackberry.

Can I use the sim from the blackberry in my iphone? What will I need to do to get it to work?

If this is the wrong forum - please let me know where it needs to be posted.

thanx,
tlh

If your phone is unlocked it will take any compatible SIM card... including AT&T. The issue will be your rate plan... you'll have to make sure whatever plan they put you on will be compatible for the iphone vs Blackberry. Worst case... test and figure it out as you go.

thanx for the quick reply and info.

Rate plan? Can you explain further? never have had a crackberry.

will I have to re-pwn? reload pwned firmware?

the crackberry they are providing us is an Edge only model

If you are on an unlimited data plan u r fine!

Don't let that weird answers confuse u.

There is NO difference in dataplan - just that you will be prone to use much more "data" when using an iPhone.

Btw - I am in the same situation - but, I used a LOCKED 3G phone (jailbroken though) with a SIM that came with the company provided BlackBerry

Hey Sursture,

How did you get the Blackberry sim to work on the 3G iphone?
I have the 3Giphone jailbroken, but when I put the AT&T sim from my blackberry, the iphone doesn't show connectivity to the AT&T network. I just a "FAILED" message when trying to place a call.
