Many years ago, the wireless carriers such as AT&T and others
started a marketing strategy of paying for some of, or all of, the cost
of a new cell phone if the customer would commit to a one or two year
contract to use their wireless service. The wireless carriers did not
want to pay for the cell phone and later have it used with another
carrier, so they got the cell phone manufactures to design the phone to
be locked to just their service. For example, if AT&T paid for the
phone, AT&T would lock it so it could only be used on AT&T and
not T-Mobile. This lock is called by several names including: "Sub
Lock" or "SPC Lock" or "Sim Lock".
The Blackberry Storm is a any GSM Smartphone which means you can use it on any network in any country as long as you can input the carriers sim card and codes. IE: Unlocked.
