Unlock Your Blackberry For Free
Whilst playing with an old Blackberry, I finally discovered some free software that calculates the unlock code for some devices.
Now I cannot guarantee, in the same way that others do, that this might not work for your device.
You can download the tool from;
http://www.filecrop.com/bb-calculator-free.html
Or alternatively search for "BB Calculator Free".
For this tool you'll need only your IMEI number (normally printed inside your phone under the battery) and the MEP number which you can obtain on most Blackberry devices by holding down alt + shift + H.
The IMEI number can also be obtained from the same screen as the MEP number, so saves you taking out the battery.
Once you have the IMEI number and the MEP just enter them into the BB Calculator tool in the "Code Calculator" tab. Note that the IMEI is entered as one long number, so ignore any dots, etc. Hit the "Calculate Codes" button and an MEP2 line will appear with a number. This is the number that you will need to enter into your Blackberry.
http://crackberry.com/unlocking-blackberry should be able to help you find out how to enter your new MEP2 code. For most Curve models you can do the following (but check the URL first);
1. Have the original SIM card in the phone (even if it is no longer valid on the network)
2. Go to Settings - Advanced Options - SIM Card
3. On that screen type in the following mepd nothing will appear on the screen whilst typing
4. Then immediately type mep2 again nothing will show whilst typing, but a pop up screen will appear to type in your code if you have typed the 2 words in correct
5. Type in the MEP2 code that you obtained from the BB Caculator Free tool and press either enter or the trackball
6. If the code worked you will see Code Accepted
