There is special software out there you can buy to reset it back to 10 times. Something DCM... don't know ..

"Special Software" ... ooooo, I like the sound of that. ;)

Hey, always keep in mind that all phones have only a limited number of attempts to enter the code. Losing those attempts by trying wrong codes will hardlock your phone and you may never be able it unlock it again.

It's simple to unlock Blackberry Torch 9800 form any network provider. You just buy a code for some trusted website and follow the instructions by word, your phone will be unlocked without any trouble.

I got the code for my Blackberry Torch form UnlockGenie. It worked for me without any trouble. I suggest you to do the same to unlock your phone.

Bye.

I agree with JasonBourne360, partly because it's just smart advice and partly because, well, he's Jason Bourne.

Established companies that provide unlock codes are the only way to go. I have used HorizonWirelessOnline.com - Horizon Wireless, The World’s Cellular Repair Center ß many times and never had a problem. Quality outfit.

You don't have a BlackBerry data plan.

[KoBonG]

you must know MSL/SPC number if you unlock your blackberry

[Motorcycle Mama]

Yeah, you need a BlackBerry Data Plan as noted by dc/dc to get the data features and you need the MSL code to get rid of the "Activation Required" message and unless you are a Sprint customer, you can't get the MSL code. And thus you cannot get rid of the "Activation Required" message. You will just have to learn to ignore it.

Note that the "Activation Required" message doesn't have anything to do with the device being unlocked or not.
