If you are certain, you are certain. We don't have a choice except to believe you. I wanted you to be certain.

If you are not certain, you could post a screen shot or type here what the MEP screen states.

The think the use of smilies following the word "unlocked" may be confusing. It either is or is not unlocked.

"It's unlocked? " really doesn't answer the question.

So your friend puts the SIM card in, go into Options / Mobile Network.

Change Network Technology to GSM/UMTS and Network Mode to 2G

Ok it seems yesterday was not my day. I'm always better off fresh in the morning anyway. Working + trying to do these things always causes mix ups.

So the phone is LOCKED. But this morning something told me follow these instructions again..

1. Go to options
2. Go to advanced options
3. Go to simcard
4. Type the letters "mepd"

The menu should now change

5. Type the letters "mep" press alt type "2"


I did and this time ( after trying abotu 20 times yesterday ) the box to enter the code came up. I'm still waiting on the code. Will keep you all updated.

Thanks to everyone!

You might qualify for an endurance award after this over.

You or NJ, or both.

After ten wrong attempts, the device will be permanently locked to the branded carrier.

Ok apparently I got the wrong instructions..

These are the instructions i am following now...

1) Turn off the phone
2) Need a SIM card inserted into the phone (Example: Verizon, At&t, T-mobile)
3) Turn on the phone
4) Go to Settings (Button that has dots next to green call button), Click on Manage Connections, Select 'Turn All Connections Off'
5) Press End Call (Red button)
6) Inside Settings menu, Click Options, then Mobile Network, on the switch technology to 'Global' if that has not been done.
Exception: If phone prompts 'Would you like your Blackberry to automatically select CDMA or GSM based on network availability', select No.
7) Now click the Back Arrow Button (Next to the Red End Call button) and select Advanced Options and then SIM Card
8) Hit the Settings Button (Button that has dots next to green call button) and select 'Show Keyboard'
9) Type in mep2 or mepp2 and another screen will pop-up prompting for the MEP code (Please note that you will NOT see what you type on the screen)
Exception: If nothing is prompting up and you are making sure you are selecting each button by press the screen in, do a wipe handheld to reset the phone to manufacturer default: Best way to wipe storm? - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com
10) Enter the code, Remember you ONLY have 10 chances to get it right
11) Press the Enter key (Button that looks like a backwards L arrow)
12) A message will appear saying Code Accepted
Exception: If phone says Code Error and the attempts stay the same, start off with 10 attempts and still says 10 attempts after enter code, then continue with instructions, this is a glitch on the phone
13) Turn device off by removing battery, insert SIM of your choice if have not done so already. Turning device is necessary even if you have SIM of choice inserted.
14) Turn the phone back on
15) Go to Settings, then Options, then Mobile Network, on the third row switch Network Technology to GSM/UMTS.
16) Press the Back Arrow Button to exit and save settings.
17) Return to the main screen by pressing End Call and you should see your phone getting signal
18) As a reminder, if you ever remove the SIM card from your phone, you will need to set the Network Technology as GSM/UMTS again



Exception: If phone says Code Error and the attempts stay the same, start off with 10 attempts and still says 10 attempts after enter code, then continue with instructions, this is a glitch on the phone

So... Errr... I'm stuck there? :S

Because the phone still says Active by Network
