Q: Hello Will this phone with with Verizon? If not can you tell me what carrier in the USA it will work with? I am currently with Verizon and will switch carriers if needed. Thanks

A: It does not, I ordered one, but some folks over on reddit confirmed with BlackBerry that it does not and this is an accuracy error on Best buys part. Interestingly, the best buy rep assured and gauranteed to me that it would work on VZW. This is a product no one asked for, meanwhile a Key2 (not LE) working on verizon has been the most requested blackberry since release (seen the waiting rooms?). No one asked for a 128gb red blackberry, we all wanted a 128gb blackberry ON red (Verizon). This is what happens when you arent customer obsessed, and this kinda stuff will lead to BB's second failure into entering the device market.

Q: Will this work on T-Mo?

A: Yes, it does work with T-Mobile.

Q: Will this phone make calls?

A: Yes, sure you can make calls with this phone.

Q: Is this phone red

A: That is correct, this is the Red Edition of the KEY2 GSM unlocked.

Q: Where can I find the dual sim red model?

A: This is a Single SIM model, the Dual SIM KEY2 is not available in the U.S.
