1. You need an absolutely good unlock code. ONLY purchase the unlock code from a reputable and trustworthy unlocking vendor. I only recommend Horizon Wireless. I know there are other trustworthy unlocking services... but as you have found out, there are some who are not.
2. Follow these instructions to enter the CORRECT code

Blackberry Storm1 and Storm2 (9500, 9520, 9530, 9550) Unlock Code Entry Instructions
1. Turn off all of the wireless connections (manage connections - turn all connections off)
2. Go to the Options icon on the device
3. Select Advanced Options
4. Select SIM Card
5. Hit the Menu key to select Show Keyboard
6. Enter mepd (you will not be able to see the typed info)(enter just the mepd, no spaces, etc.)
7. Enter the letters: mep2
8. Now it will say enter network mep code
9. Enter the code given you, usually about 16 digits
10. Your Storm is now unlocked.

3. Now, after your tenth bad entry, the device will lock to the branded carrier and ONLY by sending the device back to RIM in Canada can it be factory unlocked.
Be careful!
