Want to use local gsm sim in my blackberry 9530 storm

Recently my wife bought a verizon blackberry 9530 storm phone with 2 months contact and she also paid contract discontinuing charges to end the agreement. The verizon people said that the phone is unlocked now and it can be used in any gsm sim. When she came back to bangladesh where we live, I found that the global connection is active and I can use that network for voice call in home and abroad as well, but no internet or browsing facility is there. I then used a local sim and selected gsm network. The phone shows the network name but also shows 'invalid sim' message. I tried in several ways with my minimum knowledge, but failed to connect my local gsm sim.  Can anybody help me to solve my problem? I am dying to use it.

Looks like your phone still locked for particular network and you must unlock it first, before you can use your local sim card. To unlock blackberry storm, you must have blackberry unlock code for verizon network and you can purchase that code at third party sites on internet.

Bought blackberry strom 9530 from US. Already Unlocked it. GSM sim is working on it. When I switch to Relaince CDMA sim it says call failed.

Even if the phone is already unlocked, the phone may still not be able to work on any CDMA carrier, as the unlocking process only allowed you access to GSM carriers.

I am travelling to India. How can I unlock my Blackberry Storm 9530 Verizon CDMA and use in India when I travel. Is it work in India with the CDMA and GSM network when I use an Indian sim card

There can be many ways to Unlock your phone. As far as i know unlocking by codes is the simple and safe way. I will suggest the website Unlock-Zone.com which is doing good service and they were recommended highly in the cell phone forums.
I used them to unlock my cell phone. contacted them and within 30 mins i had my unlock code and my phone was unlocked.
Hope this helps.

if it is unlocked then you can try it by inserting the sim in your handset. Please contact reliance customer care and ask them to activate blackberry services on your phone. If you are not able to use it then contact blackberry service center they will help regarding this.

I'm trying to unlock my BB storm 9530,after I type "MEPPD" I enter "MEP2" or "MEPP2" but still I dont get any window to put the unlock code in,any ideas ?!

Before you start, you MUST have an Unauthorized Sim Card inserted. An unauthorized Sim Card is a Sim Card that is NOT belong to the provider of the phone. Example: If you have a Verizon phone, you need to insert a T-Mobile Sim Card inside the phone before turn it on. 1. Power on the phone.
2. Phone will said "MEP check failed. Do you want to enter MEP unlock code". Select Yes.
3. "Enter Network MEP code (# left)". Enter the unlock code.
4. Press Enter, you should see “Code Accepted”
5. You need to check Network Connection is set on GSM/UMTS. Menu>Manage Connection>Mobile Network Options and make sure it GSM/UMTS.
6. Once GSM/UMTS is selected. You can now ready to make phone call.
Notice: If the network not working after your phone is fully charged and unlocking process “Code Accepted”. You must change from Verizon CDMA network to GSM Global Network a few times, after change from Verizon CDMA to GSM Global 3 times is completed, leaves it on GSM Global Network. Now it should work. (Verizon 8830 World Edition DOES NOT work in USA)
