Hi all,
I can't belive I found a cellphone msg board.

Ok, unlocking a BB. I myself have a BB 7100t, and work for T-Mobile. To unlock your handset, call your provider's customer care number. They, in turn, contact the handset manufacturer, and are then issued the unlock code, which they send to your email, as well as leave a copy in your account.
That's how it works for us, not certain how the other providers work. In addition, they may require that you have a certain amount of time having service with them, as well.
A very inmportant fact to remember, they will need your
IMEI number for your handset, as each handset has its own number. If they do no not get the correct
IMEI number from you or, you don't carry out the directions correctly, your hs is permanantly locked, unable to be used.(I believe you get 3 attempts)
* Finding the
IMEI; (BB)
* From the Menu screen
* Go to Settings
* Go to Options
* Go to Status
*
IMEI is the very last one.
* The
IMEI is also on the tag inside your phone, under the battery.
* Also, this works for T-Mobile service, not certain if it works for other Wireless Providers *#06#
Peace,
Gillian
