i've seen post about people unlocking the BB's themselves... any pointers on how to learn to do this yourself?

Did you resolve your problem? I have the same problem. Also AT&T bring me a new SIM card for free. Nothing!!! But I purchased the Bold from someone that purchased on ebay. The original seller told me that can be fixed by software. This was today, I will let you know on Monday. What do you use? MFI? What version? A new one is on the wild.

Here is the full detail of all that has happened.

1. Bought the phone, was using an iPhone 3g.
2. Got phone in mail and unlocked myself.
3. Put my SIM card, activated my Blackberry account, and all worked well
4. Swapped the SIM to my iPhone 3g just to see if it would work (for occasional weekend use), this worked fine, all except visual voicemail.
5. Put SIM back in 9000 and used for 2 weeks
6. Took SIM out and used iPhone for a weekend
7. Put SIM back in 9000 and received SIM card error
8. Tried 5 co-worker AT&T SIMs and none worked
9. Tried the Rogers unactivated SIM and it gave the Initialization Failed error instead of the Insert SIM error, so SIM reader was working
10. Tried my SIM in my iPhone and it works. Tried my SIM in a co-workers unlocked Rogers 9000 and it works.
11. Verified that my 9000 is indeed still unlocked
12. Reloaded the latest blackberry software and reformated
13. Rogers and RIM both tell me to shove it.
14. I told RIM this is the last blackberry i'll ever own. I've owned over a dozen of them, but if they don't stand behind their product more than this then i'm done.


Still no joy.
One other thing that you might have AT&T check (assuming that you are still playing with this) is that they might have changed your data plan and device type if they picked up the iPhone on the network.
We do testing between various devices and have had some issues when the IMEI is not registered correctly with the network for the phone number. Going from a BlackBerry to a Windows Mobile device sometimes causes fits to teh system, wiht intermittent connection issues and then sometimes failures.
