It amazes me that the unlocking community can keep this from getting leaked out onto the net. Back in the old days you could download a peice of software, type in your Nokia IMEI number and voila, your unlock code was generated for you.

So Fr0zen, spill it! Where do the codes come from? I don't want to undermine your business, I just want to understand how it works. Hell, I'd be happy to open a franchise in the Victoria area!

Cheers!

ps. Rogers and Fido have so much of my money after 9 years that I'd unlock phones for nothing!

There is no such thing as an unlock code generator for Blackberrys, and even for the newer Nokia phones there is no generator.

OK, then there must be a process for obtaining them from vendors and carriers... I guess my question will remain unanswered

[peterc.]

tell you guys the truth this cory shnauzer whatever your name is mr.fido man.. i work for rogers and im sorry to say this but fido is nothing compared to us fido is only known because of the city fido but thats it now fido plans arent that great at all and also how can you say rogers has no good cx service? excuse me all fido cx service agent dont know anything specially when it comes to data oh my your guys's voice start to shake! im not trying to put you down but dont put down the company thats paying buddy cause remember youre only a fido employee. hah!

now as for Telus or bell unlocking them i dont know, but you should know that rogers and fido are the only GSM providers in canada

and you couldnt have been a rogers wireless customer for 10 years because they havent even been open for ten years

Fido was the first GSM provider in canada and we have barely been open for 10 years lol

I'm not sure about the RIM thing, getting it unlocked voiding the warranty, i have no idea. But i mean there are tons of options out there for you to unlock your Rogers BB for you to use it over seas, so just use that, dont waste the cust service reps time with trying to get an unlock code cuz you wont get it

as for if its legal for them to keep the phone locked, my guess would be yes because the CRTC has yet to say anything, that and Rogers used to unlock phones BUT it costs $250 bucks to do it. its a way of keeping the customers. but now Rogers doesnt care, cuz the only other provider is Fido which is owned by Rogers so either way they are going to get the money from it.


lol either way if you want GSM rogers or fido is the only way to go. and from what i have seen since i have been working with Fido is that Telus and Bell are HORIBLE!!!! not only for customer service but for over charging and not giving a rats ass about you, i can garauntee that Fido will not treat you that way at all! you know how many credits i give out a month, anywhere from 1000-5000$. thats including adjusting errors, accidental roaming, and credits out of my pocket.

No the reason i saw Fido is good is not because i work there, i say that because i have friends on all the networks and OMG they stories out of there mouths is horrid! and on top of it my girlfriend is on rogers and whenever i deal with stuff for her, i swear it takes me about 4-6 calls to get to the right agent and will even look at helping me...

the diff between rogers and fido is everything, the only thing we share is the network. the plans are all diff, the phones, the way we handle out business is all different...

corey can keep on talkin but rogers still owns you... we own you buddy... oh by the way... " we own you " mr. fido.. dont be too proud of your self because we own you!

@ Peter C - pretty rude aren't you?

Having been a customer of BOTH networks - I can tell you that Fido's customer service voice AND data was far superior to Rogers.

Here's the thing you lose site of in your apparent arrogance. It doesn't matter what's really true - it only matters what customers think. The tone and style of your post does nothing to further your case.

Rogers has a lock on GSM in Canada and as such, gets the best phones available. That is the ONLY reason I am with your network. Your service is terrible and your rates (particularly roaming and data) are the closest thing that I can find to highway robbery. If I had an option - I would be gone in a heartbeat.

You love to point out that Rogers OWNS Fido. Well guess what? At the end of the day - customers OWN Rogers. So welcome to the forums - check the tone of your posts - there's great productive discussions to be had here.

Me being an employee and knowing everyone in tech support, and i still couldnt get one...

so no matter how much you threaten to cancel, or leave or say your going over seasa you will not get one... sorry

thats not true, they dont use generators, but databases sent from the manufacturer for all the IMEI shipped to them. i cant tell you what i do or where, but i know for a fact they do have the codes.

Posters in this thread need to calm down--how does this thread get dug up every so often just to turn into a brawl again?

I received one email a week after I placed the order asking me to double check my IMEI number but it was correct and I verified it again. It looks like I'm out the $65 I paid for the service so I wanted to warn others out there to be mindful. Perhaps I'm the exception to rule, at least that's what it appears like from this thread, but I figured I would let others know of my experience.

I am having problem contacting Adam from GSMPhoneSource... I heard about his unlocking service on this forum and payment was sent on 31st Oct (18 days ago) PayPal Transaction ID: 68644516DE4874415.

I didn't receive anything after waiting patiently for 2 weeks, so I emailed him 3 days ago. He isn't replying to my email either.

Please let me know what is happening, Adam...

Thanks.

[Cory Scheuer]

odd, i just had him unlock my 8300 from him last week, are you sure your emails are going through?

i believe he is on this forum as well try searching his name and send him a PM

Sorry for the off topic guys, just kinda blew me away that I'm not the only GTRC member here.

Anyway, with this unlocking I may do as I have friend of a friend who does this stuff. Granted I don't really travel outside of Canada but if the day happens to come at least I'll be able to just buy a sim card from another provider, slap it in and talk without paying HUGE roaming charges.
