I want to keep the poll results above as cut and dry as possible, so on this post I'm keeping it short and sweet. You won't get any explanation from me here beyond the poll above... you'll either know what I'm talking about or will not (obviously we'll follow up with another post on this topic soon). Heck, I'm even going to disable the comments on this post just because I'm that curious to see how the results turn out with no additional commentary at all. So that's it. Vote on the poll above... if you dare! :)
* Update: Ho humm.. my bad. I'm a bit of a dumbass today! So actually, just realized, I guess this method of unlocking when you have the non-native SIM card present was already in OS 5.0. In 5.0 I've always unlocked my devices without having the non-native SIM, so didn't even realize this was the case. So basicaly, you're in the same boat between 5 and 6 if you have the foreign SIM you want to use. And it's easy either way. Click here to see the unlock if you want to do it and don't have the SIM. Good to see it done in BB6 regardless. Carry on. lol *
One of the most common things BlackBerry users need to do is unlock their device for use on another carrier, prepaid SIM or "just to do it". Looking around a bit we realized we had no real instructions posted anywhere for easy access on getting it done, so here we are. The quick video above shows how to unlock your device after obtaining an unlock code. I did it here on my Bold 9650 and full instructions for other QWERTY devices as well as Storm and Pearl devices are posted after the jump. If you need an unlock code you can sometimes get one straight from your carrier, or you can check out our BlackBerry Unlocking forums for more information/discussion on unlock companies and even check out current contests and promotions for unlock codes.
Been looking for an easy way to unlock your BlackBerry? CellUnlock has released an application for GSM BlackBerry devices that will help get you all fixed up in no time. The application can be downloaded OTA to your device and ran simply by clicking on it. The method it uses is a rather simple one.
Once you run the App, it will read your phone's 15 Digit IMEI & Model. All you have to do is enter the Country/Provider your Blackberry is from and submit. Your order will be processed by one of our members and the unlock code and instructions will be emailed to you.
The best part is, even though for the most part this service is automated, you still have a user on the other end checking the information and producing the codes for you. So, if you run into any issues while using the application you can always reach out to them for further support. Right now, the CellUnlock app is available for $9.99 and is good for unlocking one GSM BlackBerry smartphone. Give it a shot, if you need your BlackBerry unlocked.
