I have an unlocked Verizon Blackberry Bold wifi world phone with Skype mobile which will only work in the US with unlimited data. In Europe, with a GSM Sim card instead of Verizon's CDMA, will Skype mobile work on wifi? Addition: I ONLY want it to work on wifi, not data in Europe. Verizon locks out wifi in the US and only allows data.

skip, Although you may be able to obtain a SIM card in Europe to cover voice & text, getting a card that includes data may be difficult as those are usually reserved for customers on term plans. The situation is changing all the time, so it's possible that one of the networks is now offering PAYG data plans, but I'm not aware of any. You might have a look at THIS Website to see if it might work for you? Good luck!
