    Either my search skills are weak or I'm blind but someone told me a couple places to get passport unlocked and I can't find that thread. I believe one place online only cost 17$? Anyways it has to be online and work for Telus because I'm stuck in a remote camp and fly out from here to the Philippines directly. No time to stop a shops and Telus won't unlock anyways.

    Tried Unlockmenow and I have been waiting for more than 39 hrs, but still no code. I emailed them after 24 hrs and no response. I hope this company is legit. I will wait until Monday before contacting PayPal for refund.

    Ahh. I didn't pay through PayPal. They are legit and I ordered my unlock code at night. Woke up next morning to email. Did you check spam filter?

    Sometimes I wonder if these small sites are just 1 or two people and they might take unexpected vacations from work hehe. But regardless..i did unlock my passport and Z30 through them recently

    Yeah its pretty sketchy eh? Especially considering carriers want 50$ to unlock (except Telus who want 90 days of activity then will unlock for 50$ sMH) and this site only charges 14$

    Not necessarily, most people in the carriers head office had access to getting codes. I know a few carriers have switched their systems so that a ticket has to be opened for a code to be generated. So perhaps these sites will get more expensive in the future.

    I finally received an email from Unlockmenow. After 44 hours, they are unable to unlock my passport and let me know that they will refund my money in a few hours.

    Not everyone has access to the codes right away. Takes a bit for BlackBerry to push them out.

    That's the answer we are all looking for. So the codes are purchased from blackberry? I'll count myself lucky then Cuz I got mine from these guys.
