Possible to remotely unlock a Blackberry? -

I bought a 8700G from a user and when he talked to his Customer Support they supposedly unlocked it remotely without him having to enter a Unlock code manualy?
They had him on the landline phone and while he was on the phone the rep said she unlocked it remotely. Is that even possible as I have never heard of that.

They probably send your activation to the network and your service books and referred to it as "unlocking."
Its not possible to remotely unlock the 8700 models although you can buy unlock codes for them. Its only possible to unlock 5,6 & 7 series remotely <edit>Sorry. Just re-read this!! My description of remote is using server software and a cable, not OTA like this</edit>
