How can I tell if an unlock is successful?
- Hi,
I have a Bold and an (older) Curve, both from Rogers.
I'm going to Europe soon, and I wanted to have an unlocked device that I could slip a SIM card into once I get there.
I live in Waterloo, ON (RIM headquarters) and there are a couple of places in town that claim to be able/willing to unlock a Rogers BB for a small amount of money. I have read thru old threads, but I'm not 100% certain on a couple of points:
(1) Is there any risk of bricking the device if it doesn't work?
(2) If it does work, how would I be able to tell? I don't actually have a SIM card from another carrier that I can just plug in.
(3) Do I need to adjust any of the internal settings afterwards?
Thanks for any enlightenment!

2) when you go into the MEP screen all the options will show "unlocked". in a locked state one of them shows "locked"
3) shouldn't need to. If anything you might have to adjust the APNs.11-16-10 09:28 AMLike 0 - amazinglygracelessRetired Mod
If NETWORK shows as disabled it is unlocked.Last edited by amazinglygraceless; 11-16-10 at 12:18 PM.

One other setting you might need is Manage Connections> Mobile Network Options> Network Technology, make sure it's set to either "Global" or "GSM/UMTS" The phone defaults to Global, but if you have any issues that would be the first step.
