I decided to see how hard it would be to get T-Mobile to unlock my shiny new Blackberry Pearl. I figured since I might need to travel outside the country, popping a cheap long-distance SIM card into the phone would be a nice feature to have. I called the tech support department at 611 from my phone. I got to a tech within just a minute or two, and they had me enter *#06# and read them my SIM (IMEI) number. He asked if it would be ok to send the unlock instructions to my email address, which I agreed to.
The next day, I had an email from an “ARSystem Notify” with a 16 digit unlock code and the following instructions:
- Press the Menu key
- Scroll to Options and press the trackball
- Scroll to Advanced Options and press the trackball
- Scroll to SIM Card and press the trackball
- Type MEPPD
- Press the Alt key and type MEPP2
- Enter the unlock code
- Press the Enter Key
I followed these instructions to the letter and the phone was unlocked shortly thereafter. No fuss, no problems, nothing.
T-Mobile, you guys rock. I had been a Cingular customer for years and their customer service was mediocre at best. Ever since I switched in November, I’ve had nothing but excellent customer service from your Blackberry support people.
