    Hey guys, I'm new at this forum. I've made a couple of searchs but didn't found the answer for my issue.

    I've just bought the bb tour on ebay. It said unlocked but when I put t-mobile sim it says that requires activation.

    so I'm not sure what the problem is, can you please help me?

    thx in advance...

    Go to Menu - Options - Advanced options - SIM Card - type MEPD (you will not see the text as you type). If all the listed options say "Disabled", the device is unlocked.

    If the Network option says "Active" - it is locked...

    As for the activation, give tmobile customer service a call and see whether they can sort it out (Make sure the device is unlocked first).

    Are you able to make phone calls? Does your Tour "work"? I usually get that message when i need to activate the device with VZ in my case which in turn i dial *228 and follow the prompts to activate the phone. Once it is active, the message is gone and i am able to make calls and use the phone.
    I don't know what the corresponding activation number for T-mobile is.

    Check the storm tip how to and faq sub forum for a thread about getting full data on the storm on tmobile. Those instructions should be adaptable to your tour.

    All the options says disabled so it's supposed to be unlocked right?

    Your device is unlocked buddy! Just give tmobile customer service a call to sort out the activation problem!
