How to Unlock BlackBerry Phones?

Dec 29, 2010 10:48 AM

Collection of BlackBerry smartphones displaying various screens.Most people are unaware that Blackberry mobile phones can be easily unlocked by entering an Unlock Code (MEP2). When you are traveling abroad and going out of the coverage area of your cell phone service provider, it is better that you use another SIM card and switch over to a local network.

The cell phone software is so programmed that you can only unlock it by entering a special unlock code . This code is Known as Mobile Equipment Personalization Code (MEP). 

If you search in google you will see many websites providing free Unlock codes, but all these codes are not genuine. By entering the wrong code, you will loose the number of attempts to unlock the phone. The maximum number of attempts to enter the MEP2 code is TEN. 

Always remember " There is no free lunch"

Just Follow the Instructions Below..Your BlackBerry will Be Unlocked within minutes

Obtain the Unlock code 

Search internet for mobile phone unlocking websites. You will come across a thousand websites who can do this. Choose which ever you like. Do look for price comparisons and the unlocking instructions. 

Recheck the Model number- Network to which your phone is locked to and the IMEI number before placing an order. If you made any mistakes in these details these people will never give you a refund!!

One more thing, before placing an order ask them about the conditions for getting a full refund in the case of a code failure! Think and make a wise decision.
