I want to unlock it by IMEI to work on O2-UK. I know Mobilink supports O2 as a roaming service but my question really is whether all features such as email and blackberry messenger would work once I unlocked it? does anyone know any reputable unlock vendors to go through?04-08-08 10:35 AMLike 0
- What happens when you unlock it or why unlock it? Just asking. I'm still a noob.

Or if you were to buy a phone on ebay it might be locked to the network that supplied the hanset and would not work with your sim.04-11-08 03:06 AMLike 0 -
- Call the Tmobile customer service and tel them you want the unlock code for your Tmobile BBerry.
They'll email you the code in ~48 hours, I got mine in <24 hrs.
Then follow the instructions fro the first dude on this thread. Works like a charm.

They had mine wrong and I had to have them re-issue the code. It worked, I am able to use my German sim card while I am traveling here in Germany to save a few bucks.05-28-08 09:35 AMLike 0
- Can someone please explain to a total newbie how to get onto settings bit needed for unlock code.
Mine is a Blackberry 8800, it does not have an actual SETTINGS bit. so the previous instructions did not work for me.
Need a step by step05-31-08 11:25 AMLike 0 - What is this "unlock code" of which you speak?
Is there any off-hours support for blackberry?
Why is this so difficult, and un-documented?06-01-08 02:32 PMLike 0
