Does anyone know how to unlock Blackberry Pearl properly? If I were to bring my phone out for them to unlock, how much would it normally cost me?
My phone keep said insert SIM card, does this come with the phone or do I have to purchase them separately?
Thanks
35 to unlock typically. You get sim from your service provider.
there is an online site where you get unlock code for $10...is this sounds too good to be true? There are also videos on youtube showing you step by step to unlock it...I'm very curious.
youtube can be a good friend or it cant lol but ebay has sellers who give you the code to unlock it for about $10 if thats the site you were talking about. They are guarenteed as ebay is a buyers site and will always side with the buyers because they own paypal as well so its great security

Spend the $35-$50 and have someone unlock it who knows what they're doing. And if they can't do it, you wont be out any money. Telus offers this feature for their models and I believe Rogers does also. A place like Wireless Wave or T-Booth who sell phones for all carriers can probably do it as well. They can even sign you up with a plan and a SIM card if that's your desire.
if you dig deep theres a site i used a while back to unlock a couple phones for free, they take up to 48 hours to give you the unlock code... wish i could remember the site. I then moved onto utube to finnd how to enter it.... wasn't bad to do
this site doesn't look like the one i used but was similar http://freemyblackberry.com/unlockcode.php check it out and see what you think, if i find the one i did use i will forward it too

Hey i see that you are in Mississauga. If you are in the Markham area you can go to pacific mall and they will do it on the spot for $10.
As far as the sim card goes, you get this from your cell phone provider. Some providers do not have sim cards which limits you to only purchasing their phones.
I second freemyblackberry.com. I used that myself to unlock the 9700 Bold and it worked. Yeah, you have to wait up to 48hours (mine was actually done in a few hours) but its free!
You'll have to get a SIM card separately, but I think they're only about $10 which is pretty good considering you'll switch it from phone to phone when you upgrade.
It can be unlock and try to contact the Blockless.com for any questions that can solve the problem with your Blackberry.
