@amandacachene

If it is not locked to a specific provider should work fine

It’s not locked but I read someone else on this platform had issues with data connectivity. Maybe I was reading that wrong. Just don’t want to buy it if it may not work.

I have a few friends using classics and passports with no issues.

@amandacachene it's only the older BlackBerries (pre-Z10, the ones that ran the older BBOS 7 and older) that don't support data connectivity with Public Mobile. This is because they all depended on a BIS for data, which PM does not operate. The "BlackBerry 10" BB devices don't use a BIS and instead connect directly like other (Android, iPhone) devices and don't have this issue.

Canadian-sourced, unlocked Z10 and Z30 BB OS10 work perfectly fine.

The Classic is BB OS10. I don't know if yours is Canadian and of course any phone has to be unlocked if not from Telus/Koodo/here.

The fine print here says that data requires BB OS10.

Edit: And I'm still happily using a Z30.
