Your iPhone is only an expensive iPod touch without a sim card. You need a sim card to use it as a phone. Your provider will give you a micro sim card, if you ask for one. If you live in Canada, just go to the Apple store for a free micro sim card, as the providers will charge you $10 or so for one.
When you say you have a blackberry with no SIM, do you mean that you are on a CDMA network like Verizon, Sprint, MetroPCS, etc? As far as I know, you can't get an iPhone onto one of those services, even if unlocked, unless it was originally with that company (i.e. if you bought someone's Verizon iPhone 4, you might be able to get Verizon to provision it to your account, but it won't work with Sprint; if you bought an unlocked GSM iPhone it won't work with any CDMA provider, ever). If you are already on a GSM service, then, as the posters above said.
