Ok............so I was fooling around w/ my Verizon 9530 Storm and I discovered there was a "sim card " in the phone.Well I took it out I was kinda confused for 2 reasons....1)Verizon doesn't use sim cards.........Are they going digital? 2)why does it say Vodafone in it......thats a foreign carrier,why would that be in my domestic phone.It is a global phone so mabey thats it.

Anyway regardless Im a little confused .....can anybody shed some light on this.
Please and thank you.

Verizon storm is global, that's why it has the sim card slot, and the verizon storm is actually the 9530, hope that covers it for you

Thanks......what about the "vodafone" branding?

[MrGonzalez]

you're on your own there haha I'm not so sure about that one

[Lord Chrispin]

Ya I figured the sim card slot was for international use............but the vodafone thing just confuses me.

Vodafone is Verizon's GSM roaming partner.

Currently, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture between Verizon and Vodafone
