How do I know if this phone will work ?

BlackBerry Classic SQC100-1 16GB Unlocked GSM 4G LTE Keyboard Phone w/ 8MP Camera - Black

I can't post a link to the phone for some reason. I don't know much about phones and was wondering if my current sim will fit in this blackberry?

My ex set this phone up. I remember she had to get a smaller sim card or something for it to work in the current samsung s6.. Whatever she did seemed like a huge hassle..

@vaalix Again, you don't have to spend time to get the BB Classic on PM.

But, what kind of sim you have? there are 3 different kind, but some sim card you can remove the "frame" and make it small to fit the newer phone

But again, if you need another phone to use on PM, you should get a newer one that is compatible on PM network

Ya I just realized those bb are pretty old.. Too bad, I kind of liked that design style. Guess I will stick with this s6 for now. The sim card Im pretty sure is the smallest one i've seen.. from about 13 months ago.. nano I think?

@vaalix Yes, sim card on S6 is nano

and Yes, there is no more phone with BB keyboard anymore 😞

Its mind blowing some of the bb prices on amazon.. 1000 bucks for key2.. unreal.. that passport one 800 lol. Things like 5 years old.

@vaalix some price on Amazon are not real 🤣

but partially is that Key2 and Passport are Android and they can still be used these days. For the BB keyboard lovers, those are their last hope
