Unlock codes

I have a blacberry curve 8520, it was purchased from virgin mobile as a reconditioned phone in June 2011, I need to unlock it so that my daughter can use it with her vodafone sim card, but virgin are saying the phone was not purchased from them as they do not recognise the IMEI number, and so cannot issue me with an unlock code. Has anyone ever come across this problem before and know how it can be resolved?

Hi & Welcome to the community..!!
Are you sure, its a locked handheld. Please check using procedure given below..!!
To determine if your BlackBerry is "unlocked" for use on carriers other than for which it is branded:
1. On your BlackBerry, go to Options > Advanced Options > Sim Card.
2. At that screen type MEPD (see note below) on your keyboard. A new menu will pop up.
3. Look for Network in the list.
4. If your device is "unlocked", it should say Disabled or Inactive. If it says Active, it's still locked to that carrier.

  • How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint. The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint 15.1 at IOS 7.0.6 IMEI 99 000320 012095 0 .
    The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    There is no such thing as an unlock code.   Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.

  • Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

    Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2  year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy.  Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me.  These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE??  WHY?   A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones...  Please tell me why?  All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
    Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue.  I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone. 
    A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA.  Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
    I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone.  That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them.  That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with. 
    Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country.  I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
    I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
    A response would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
    An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.

    Defiled:
    I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east.  She travels in missions all over.
    At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone?  AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier.  If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" .  My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T .  I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product.  My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
    Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
    Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
    Thank you for your responses.

    It's good to read Antoniad's post.  It reassures me that I can use my new iPad as an international communication device which is the reason I purchased the thing.  However, I called Verizon today (my provider of cellular data) who told me that I can't just pop in a SIM card as you suggested.  He also said that he was from the "Pre-Pay" division of Verizon and he was certain that I couldn't do what I planned to do.  I was extremely disappointed as I had called Apple prior to buying the iPad and I read the algorhythm on the website for choosing an iPad before purchasing.  Those sources were quite specific and the information seemed clear.  I would be able to use my iPad to communicate through cellular connections while traveling on the road, literally, abroad.  I was told that I could pop in a data card wherever I was, just as you indicated in your message above, and voila I was good to go.  The Verizon rep definitively rained on that parade, but said that I might be able to do this if I have a "Post-Pay" account, a different area of Verizon.  I haven't had the chance to talk to this division yet, so I looked to Apple's Support for answers.  Maybe I will find out that I can use my iPad as an international communication device while traveling on the road afterall, however, it appears I may need a different type of account (Post-Pay), something I was never warned about. Can I switch to this kind of account?  I don't know.  I have to find out.  If you have any information about this issue, it would be good to share since I strongly suspect there are others who bought the iPad for the same purpose that I have.

  • I need an unlock code but adobe customer care no longer seems to be available.

    I have had photoshop for many years starting at 4. I have always updated.
    Installing cs on my new win 7 setup (yes I no it is old, but I don't have the money for new software).
    I can't get it to see my old install discs, I used "setup.exe unlock" but can't contact customer care on the line (or chat) for the unlock code.
    is there a phone number or chat link for this type of call. Thanks in advance

  • I have Adobe Photoshop albumstarter edition3.2 and have lost my unlock code

    I was doing some things and unfortunaly had some retsrted my photo shop starter album with many pictures.. now I need my unlock to open it. I see that now they will not resend one.
    What program should I start to recapture these phots... and will Ineed an unlock code to do so.. or are these photos trapped forever in this locked file.

    You could download the Photoshop Elements Trial, which contains a more advanced version of Photoshop Album Starter Edition; it will convert your Photoshop Album catalog, including the tags and so forth, and it won't lock you out, even if you exceed the 30 day trial.

    Did you buy the device from AT&T? Do you have an account with them?
    They should give you the unlock code for free, tell them you are traveling internationally and need it.
    The local reps in the store likely can't help you. Call ATT direct.
    There is no real VoIP for BlackBerrys yet, other than Google Voice.
    and UMA calling which ATT does not offer.

  • Unlock Code For BB Pearl 8100

    I recently received my BB back from my ex.  We had an account with T-Mobile, that he shut off during our separation.  I am now currently with ATT and would like to use my BB.  T-Mobile states that they can not give me the code unless I have an account with them, and told me to check with the manufacturer.  I really am not able to pay for the unlock code currently and all I can find online is sites where it is anywhere from 15-60 bucks for the unlock code.  Any one know how to get the unlock code for free??  I really appreciate the help.  Thanks so much.

    Only the carrier to which the device is branded can give you the unlock code for free, and you have to have a current account with them.

  • Anybody know how to find out my unlock code?

    Suddenly my Galaxy Note II Verizon phone is asking for my unlock code. It's never done this before. I don't know what the code is. I went on the Verizon website but all chat agents are busy, and, of course, I can't call them from my phone since it is locked. Is there another way of finding out what my unlock code is?

    Go into the My Verizon web portal, sign in (You must be the account owner) and under your device there is a PUK phone unlock code. http://www.verizonwireless.com
    However if it is your password issued from Google you have to enter your GMAIL password.
    Good Luck
