I literally bought 2 Privs from Amazon for 600 dollars like 3 weeks ago. Its actually cheaper now. And its the best phone I have ever owned. https://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-Factory-Unlocked-Smartphone-Warranty/dp/B0169SNI3C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492642388&sr=8-1&keywords=priv

And I don't know why people say the phone overheats or the keyboard is useless. The phone never gets hot since Android 6 and the keyboard is the best feature on any phone. I fucking hate typing on a touchscreen so the Priv is a perfect blend of a regular phone and a Blackberry.

is it a sprint phone or at&t/tmobile phone? pretty much the only phones that won't work are SUPER OLD phones with the old style IMEIs and Verizon phones.

I have a tmobile burner that will work with ting service with a Ting GSM sim card, so it should work as long as the bands line up. It's not like it will have 4G anyway, right?

if this is the same device, https://www.amazon.com/PRIV-BlackBerry-Factory-Unlocked-Smartphone/dp/B0169SNI3C, then it looks iffy. AT&T fully compatible, but not Tmobile? that's kinda weird.

Have you tried asking Ting Chat for help? they are super helpful and have probably answered this question before. way faster than calling too. you can share the link to the phone you want to order and they will check it out.

Good luck!

This is why I still have a Blackberry. The Q10 and Classic models are a dream to type on, and their operating system feels much more streamlined and solid than Android today (I had an Android phone). They however switched to Android in their new keyboard phone (Priv), in an attempt to regain popularity.


I sound like a shill.. but I would have no issues with switching back to Samsung/iPhone in a snap if they made a better keyboard and a hub messaging system.


I'm undecided on the Priv - it's getting great reviews but it seems like a big and heavy phone. The Q10 is ridiculously comfortable and light.

Don't let the name scare you, this would be an upgrade from your GS5.

Mel sounds nothing like me... Was Mel ever addicted to crackberry, while hypocritically criticizing people for their addiction to an inferior single button device?

After that, I spent a few years rehabbing with Samsung Galaxy Notes, until a crackberry version of Android was released. The BlackBerry Priv is easily the best device I've ever used. It's truly the best of both worlds.

It has a touch sensitive 35 button physical keyboard. 26(x2) of them can be used for various shortcuts using long or short press of each alphanumeric key. 256gb SD card is all you need...

Shameless plug I know but seriously Reddit, I wish you all knew the experience you were missing.
