| |  A quick and easy (and probably daft) question - help the noob, please
I'm hoping this will be the easiest question you blackberry pros have seen for a while, so here goes.
I have a BlackBerry 9000 Bold on mobile network Orange (United Kingdom). I had always assumed that it was locked as soon as I got it, and now I want to unlock it so that it can be used in a different country with another native mobile network.
So, here goes: I go to Options > advanced options > SIM card
It says at the top Sim Card: Security Disabled
Typed MEPD, and got: Personalization: (blank)
SIM: Disabled
Network: Disabled
Network subset: Disabled
Service Provider: Disabled
Corporate: Disabled
Phone Number: 07.......
I'm led to believe from other BB websites that this means that my phone is totally unlocked, but I'd like a confirmation from people who know what they're talking about /unlike me/ and that it can be used with any other European mobile network and their SIM?
I will try to put my old Vodafine SIM pay-as-you go SIM card when I get home, but I'm itching to know now 
Cheers

To comfirm, it is unlocked. If it says disabled/inactive beside network or service provider, then it is definitely unlocked.

Thank you!
I am just wondering now how the **** did it get unlocked? I am 99% positive that the phone arrived locked, as I've never ever received a mobile phone on a UK contract that was not locked.
The only thing that springs to mind is that few months ago I have upgraded the OS from 4 to 5, but I assumed that this certainly wouldn't unlock the phone!?

No that certainly does not unlock the device. Maybe it come unlocked and you just got lucky.
