I just won the new Bold a day before it was released (still waiting to receive it via mail) but the catch is that I have Verizon, not AT&T. I read here before that it isn't possible to do an unlock but I've already seen the Bold pop up on ebay, etc as "unlocked." Can I do this? Or should I sell it and get the Storm when it comes out? I am tired of the shared keys on my Pearl!!
Unfortunately, AT&T and Verizon use different wireless technology, Verizon is CDMA and AT&T is GSM. It is not possible to use the AT&T phone on Verizon, unlocked or not.
the bold cannot be used on the verizon network because it is a gsm device and verizon has a cdma network, i would sell it and go with the storm if you like the storm
can someone please post the instructions to unlock.
I got the code from AT&T but the rep couldnt find the instructions.
Blamed it on the phone being too new.
1. Insert SIM card and power phone on.
2. Make sure the radio and wireless are turned off.
3. Go to Options -> Advanced Options -> SIM Card
4. Type MEPD on the keyboard (you won't see the text)
5. Type MEPP then [ALT button] then 2 (again you won't see the text)
6. Enter the unlock code and press enter
7. Reboot. Device is now unlocked.
