Hi Brenda,

BlackBerry 9000 is a GSM device and hence it will work on all GSM mobile service provider. Check the below on network capabilities -

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network	HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100

Now if the device is locked then you can get it unlocked from many unlocking sites. Check this site: HorizonWirelessOnline

tanzim, Brenda_smith bought a 9000, not a 9900. And I do remember that there is a huge frequency issue with AT&T and the 9000.
