HELP! Can't unlock my phone in France
Hi, I'm new here and I am not happy with Blackberry. I live in France and bought my Blackberry through SFR. I am changing operator and want to unlock it. SFR told me I have to call Blackberry to get a code. That's nice, but there is NO phone for Blackberry in France that I can find on the web. Can anyone tell me who I have to call, or should I simply consider this phone as an expensive piece of junk?
Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
When BBs are purchased through carriers, they are locked to that carrier. The carrier then issues the unlock code -- not RIM. What SFR therefore told you is not quite accurate...and your wrath is, therefore, perhaps misdirected...

Dear Apple,
I have an iPhone 4 32GB (black), i bought from softbank, japan. Now, I have recently finished a graduate and i'll comeback home in Laos. But i can't continue to use my iphone.
Could you please help me to unlock my phone so I can use it with other carrier Sims. I would appreciate it.
Please let me know if you could help me out. Thanks again.
<Edited by Host>Like ckuan said, Apple does not unlock iPhone; your carrier does, provided that the carrier offers this service.
Unfortunately, SoftBank does not offer authorized unlocking of iPhone.
Your best option is to sell this phone and buy another iPhone from the carrier of your choice or better buy a factory unlocked iPhone so you would be able to use it with any compatible GSM carrier around the world. -
I tried adding mobile accessibility and now i can't unlock my phone. Can anyone help?
I tried adding mobile accessibility and now i can't unlock my phone. Can anyone help?
From

Tap Restart phone.
After your has phone restarted, a message about the lock screen will be read aloud. Tap the lock screen at any time to hear the time, date and notifications read aloud. To unlock your phone, flick the screen up. (If you have a password, tap any number key to hear that number read aloud, then double-tap to enter the number as part of your password.)
If this is the first time you've turned on Mobile Accessibility, you'll be presented with a training session to help you quickly learn how to use it. (You can return to the training at any time by triple-tapping the screen to access the Quick Menu, then selecting Support > Touch Training.) Otherwise, the Mobile Accessibility home screen will load.
Worse case a hard reset will clear it (you will of course erase the phone)

My phone was run over. It still works enough to see some of the screen but not the number pad. I cannot unlock the phone because I activated find my iphone. How can I unlock the phone so I can save my photos? Is there a way to unlock it from find my iphone. It was not backed up in iCloud. When I plug it into my computer, the computer tells me that I have to unlock it first. Help?
No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
Thanks. -

Can't unlock my phone using the correct password
I can't unlock my phone and I'm using the correct password. I'm at my final attempt to enter the password or ALL of my personal information will be lost!! I just got off of the phone with customer service and was told basically I'm going to lose all my business contacts & personal notes that I entered this morning during my morning meeting and that it's my fault because I didn't back it up!!! How the heck can I back up my device while during my company meeting?? I'm the owner and I have many notes and etc on my device that I put there this morning!!! Now I lose money because I can't get my information. I'm so ticked off right now!!! Customer service wasn't helpful at all...he just blamed me for my problem!! Never mind the fact that the darn phone keeps turning itself on and off randomly!
i went through that exact experience and what saved me was entering the password, which i knew, on my laptop with the BB connected

Can't unlock my phone using the touch screen on my LG Cosmos Touch
Hi,
I can't unlock my phone using the touch screen on my LG Cosmos Touch. Which means I can't access the calender, recent calls, and the other features on the phone. The only thing I can do is slide the phone when I need to answer a call or send a text. I'm not sure what the problem is. I also don't want to pull the battery out and re insert it because I think if I do that, my phone will lock up permanently. Will someone help me please?
Thanks,
