Default HELP! Unlocking Blackberry on a cancelled T-Mobile account?

Please Login to Remove!

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I could use some help with my unlocking my Blackberry. Here's my situation:

My T-Mobile BlackBerry 8320 Curve was on both a data and phone plan up until last month when I quit my job. I had it for work and it was under a corporate plan. I now want to unlock it so I can use it internationally (specifically in China) with a prepaid SIM card. I didn't think of unlocking it before the service was cancelled. The current message I'm receiving is "SIM Card Rejected" and it is in SOS mode.

I called T-Mobile and asked if they could unlock it. The representative said that since the account was cancelled she does not have access to the unlock information. She said I would have to have the account open in order for me to unlock it, and I really want to avoid renewing service just to unlock it.

What can I do now? Can the manufacturer (RIM) help me unlock this device? Should I pay some money to get the unlock code from one of those third-party companies? My concern is that this might be significantly different than unlocking a number that is already in service.

Thanks for your help!

thanks for the link - I'll give it a try.
So they can still unlock it even though my number has been suspended? That doesn't have anything to do with the unlocking, I assume?

Or you could use MFI Multiloader. Search around for it.

Keep in mind that even though you unlock the device, the carrier can send the pin to RIM and have the device's pin blocked.
