TracFone Wireless, Inc. Unlocking Policy TracFone is working with manufacturers of mobile wireless devices to pursue secure solutions which would allow for unlocking of devices without jeopardizing the security of those devices. TracFone will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that mobile wireless devices are capable of being unlocked domestically without compromising TracFone's ability to protect against unlawful distribution and use of such devices and without impeding TracFone's ability to protect its intellectual property. It will continue to keep the FCC apprised of these efforts on a quarterly basis. Once it achieves this capability with any given device, TracFone will permit its prepaid customers, upon request, to unlock such devices one year after initial activation, consistent with reasonable time, payment, or usage requirements. Currently, TracFone offers a Bring Your Own Phone program which enables consumers to utilize their own wireless devices, including unlocked devices, with TracFone's prepaid service.

go to a vodafone shop and ask for the solution there.

It depends on where you bought the Phone from. If you purchased it from a private seller, then you may find that the phone is locked to a particular network. In Australia phones can be locked to Telstra, Optus, Vodafone etc...

You generally can get a phone unlocked by contacting the manufacturer of the phone, or the Phone Company itself, to get it unlocked.

NOTE: Unlocking a phone normally incurs a fee.

If you purchased the phone from a Dealer and the Sim card from the same Dealer, then take them both back to the Dealer and ask them to unlock the phone.

Otherwise, do a Google search on unlocking a BlackBerry Bold 9000 Smartphone.

1. Navigate to Google : http://www.google.com.
2. Type unlock Blackberry Bold 9000 Smartphone. Press <enter>.

I hope this helps. Regards,

Normally you'll need Vodafone to send you both the MMS and Internet connection settings. Then once received an save take your battery out of the handset without switching it off, remove your SIM for 10 seconds. Put it back together and send yourself a MMS and you should now be fully set up.

Alternatively here are Vodafone's settings:
