ok..let's say i pay horizon or a 3rd party vendor to unlock my at&t blackberry...then switch to tmobile a prepaid plan...then in the future i want to switch it back to at&t...do i have to unlock it again? or once i unlock the phone...i can switch from one carrier to another anytime i want?
Yikes! Please read up on subsidy/SIM locks (Google is your friend). A "locked" device means that it can only be used on the carrier the device is locked to. An unlocked device can be used with any GSM carrier. That's it! You don't "unlock to" each carrier.
well at&t just gave me the "unlocked" code. and it was a long ass numerical #'s. they said once i go to tmobile and put in their sim card, it should automatically ask me for the "unlocked" code and put in what at&t gave me and it should work. is that true? is that the proper steps to unlock a device? thx in advance.
a quick question...when i was entering in the unlocked code..on the screen...it said something about (10 tries or mepd or something like that left). what does that mean? does it mean u can unlock your device 10 times or you have 10 tries before it wipe your blackberry or what?
I have an 8320 on T-Mobile and am moving to AT&T because it is cheaper. Do I need to unlock it or will it just work? Do I have to use that SunsetWireless company to unlock or can I call T-Mobile for a code? Will my unlocked T-Mobile phone on AT&T work if I visit Mexico or do I need another code?
What does FAQ mean? Why is the guy with the Razr Flip as his avatar so mean?

I suggest you call them and demand they provide you with the unlock code for your device, as you're obviously entitled to it!
yup...i yelled at the rep when she said what code??? i said let me speak with ur supervisor b!tch. then she said ok sir...here is the code. remember when u talk to the rep...sound like u r angry...that usually does the trick.
