I recently was recently the reciepiant of a BB7520. Unfortunately it's locked to the Nextel network, which isn't available around my area of the world. I'm wanting to get it unlocked to try it on the networks that are available. Granted I'm not going to be able to use any of the fancy stuff around here, but I'm just trying to get the phone to work.
After reading through the forums yesterday I found two ways of getting a phone unlocked. 1) Call the carrier and ask for an unlocked code. 2)
Bongo.
I called Nextel twice this morning. Both times being told that they couldn't unlock it. The first guy told me to contact RIM and ask them for the code. I hung up and tried again, got a different person, and was told that it couldn't be done.
So, I tried Bongo and the 7520 isn't listed on the list of Blackberry's that they can unlock. I've sent them an email to double check.
My question is simply, what are my options now? Does anyone know someone at Nextel who is capable of providing the needed code? If Bongo can't fix it is my only other option putting the phone on ebay and buying another?
