    I bought a blackberry classic about a month ago from virgin mobile canada and last night I purchased an unlock code for it and got it this morning. Now I proceeded to put a sim card from a different carrier to enter the unlock code and I noticed right away it connected to that carriers network without putting the unlock code in. So it seems that my phone was already unlocked. Has anybody else noticed that too?

    Yes I'm aware of that just seem odd that's why I ask because also if you where to have a phone from Rogers and then put a fido chip in it I'm told it wouldn't work even though they the same. Was it a returned phone? Maybe it was unlocked by someone else and was returned and was then sold to you, have you tried putting in one of the big 3 sim card in it? If I where you I wouldn't tell them nothing but then again you did pay for it unlocked.

    It was a brand new phone I bought so maybe all classics come unlocked...it's possible I guess. So if anybody buys a classic before you unlock it check to see if yours came unlocked to if you buy it from a carrier

    I believe anybody that has purchased a Classic since launch, got a unlocked version. That's all that was being shipped the last month+. I think there is actually no point anymore to sell a "locked" phone..all phones should come unlocked

    Should show another line showing "network" unlocked. My Classic is unlocked and shows the three options as "unlocked". Was purchased new from Shop BlackBerry.
