You must obtain an unlock code from the carrier in which the device is branded OR from a phone unlocking company/website

1) Insert SIM
2) Power on device
3) Go to settings/advanced options/sim card
4) Type MEPD (brings up addional 'hidden' menu)
5) Type MEP2 (alt+E)
6) Enter code

(edit:altho some of us already know that), thanks for the great post.
Only problem the people in the USA are having is the long turn around to get their unlock codes from website :P ...
did you get one yourself btw ?

[cherrichiodo]

some may not know ... we have more and more additional users sign up everyday ... some brand new bb owners.

[ranxoren]

yeah my bad :P you are right. either way.
another great site is : www.freeyourcellphone.com
Thanks again for the tutorial cherri.

Pfft gsmphonesource totally screwed me over. Paid 1000 for a new unlocked Bold and then never shipped as promised..

Business with them has forever been cut off.

[cherrichiodo]

^^ you are the first person i've seen who has ever reported issues. i'm sure it was a misunderstanding of some sort...

i don't pay for unlocking codes anyway.

[RSCStacker]

Yeah I don't pay for them either. Just happened to want a unlocked BB Bold from their store.

I've gotten treated better at the McDonalds near my house.

[ranxoren]

oh wow im so sorry to hear that ... so you LOST a 1000$ or did you manage to get it back ?

Hi, this might be a dumb question, but, is typing MEPD case sensitive? Do I lock the caps on to do this and then alt+E to get the 2? Sorry for my ignorance and thank you for the information. cheers

I bought my unlocked bold from a user on ebay. The phones arrive at His inventory unlocked from rogers, He never opens them and ships them directly to the buyer(me). Then you hack your browser for it to work with tmo.

That's the same website I plan on using for my Bold.

That is if I don't purchase
An unlocked one of ebay.

Should I get a locked Rogers one I will have to get the regular service.if I purchase an AT&T model I'm getting the Rush Service thru www.freeyourcellphone.com
