I have few questions... I just got my 9700 today and it's locked to Tmobile and I'm with ATT I heard that if you unlock the phone you can't use the 3G on ATT is this true? And two I'm on the Horizon site and I'm kinda confused as to which service I need to purchase and generally how long does it take to get the code? If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile
My mother in law moved from the UK to South Africa and the Unlock code t-mobile gave her did not work, £15 down the drain! They said they would send another one but still nothin, i know u said 10 posts but this would certainly help us out! pretty please???
I haven't used my free unlock though. :P My 8830 is little old and I don't care to use it on that phone. Maybe when I get my new blackberry in future.

Locked or unlocked you cannot use 3G from Tmo on AT&T or visa versa. The radio frequencies for 3G are different on each phone.

Oh yeah I figured that out the hard way hahaha. I bought the TMO 9700 tried it and it didn't work so I sold it and have a ATT 9700 now. Thank you for the response though. Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile
Don't know if unlock codes are still being given out... Just got a Curve 9300 to replace my Storm 9530.
Never used an unlocked phone before, would love to get a code!
