I remember I had a Samsung 715 unlocked from TMobile the daya I had subscribed to service, and canceled service the day after.
How about Cingular? Will they provide unlock codes? What about to business customers? |
Here is a direct link to unlock the T-Mo BB through GSM PhoneSource:
Remote Unlocking By IMEI For Any T-Mobile USA Blackberry Including ( 8100, Pearl, 8700g ) Only $39.99 |
A) If you're not a current Tmo customer with that phone, they won't unlock it.
B) If you didn't buy your Pearl from Cingular, they wouldn't unlock it, even if they could. C) Your best bet is to pay to have it unlocked. Many have used GSM Phone Source (inlcuding myself) with GREAT success. Good luck. |
How about a current Cingular Business customer? Will Cingular unlock my pearl?
I *might* travel out of the country, and I might want to bring my pearl so I have my contacts lists, calendar (snyced with my PC, etc) and still be able to use a local sim overseas? That's the line I gave T'Mo when I had that e715 unlocked. |
Well my sister has had service for tmobile for a long time. I was wondering if they will unlock it if she says it is hers?
|
I've read a lot of threads where US carriers are giving their customers unlock codes for their devices. Anybody have any luck getting the unlock codes from Rogers here in Canada?

Remote IMEI unlocking is one option but does anybody know of any shops i can take my Pearl into in Toronto that can unlock? Perhaps in Pacific Mall or downtown? Any idea of pricing? Thanks |
Uhh excuse me if I'm wrong but didn't new laws just get passed (or copy right stuff ended?) that now wireless carriers HAVE to provide you with the unlocking information and let you take your device whereever... see link
Slashdot | Cell Phone Owners Allowed To Break Software Locks |
Nope, wireless operators dont HAVE to provide the unlock code. I think it is no longer illegal to unlock your phone.

Actually the instructions t mobile sent me said I had to hold down the ALT key when I typed MEPP2. In case any one was having problems you may want to try that.
