What has to happen is that the phone needs to be activated on the Verizon network. That means activated on their network on someones account. When I bought the phone, my buddy had it activated on his account then reactivated his curve. Then when we called Verizon Global support he told them he was going to be travelling to europe and was going to be using a sim card from there. The rep noticed the phone had been activated previously and was able to give us the unlock code. If it wasnt activated she would've had to activate it on my buddies account. So if you know someone who is a Verizon customer and willing to spare some time I'm sure you can get it unlocked (it may also help that they have a BB with a data plan already as well since its a requirement to buy the phone and this may throw a flag)
