It might be worth looking at whatever plans you have. When you unlock your blackberry it still needs a sim card from some provider. When you unlocked and put in your new simcard, you bought some sort pf alternate phone/ Data plan did yopu ask for a mpa of areas that your nwe plan works from? They usually have a map of coverage that will show you if you had coverage in mexico. If not then it has nothing to do with the unlock it has to do with whatever provider you use doesnt servoce the area. Then tyhe answer is to get yuet another sim vcard with another plabn that works there. . Addtionally depending on where your blackberry came fromm it simplymay not puick up the proper frequencies as phones in meixco use,.. I know people who got their unlocked decvice from the middle east or africa or south america and those devices simply don't use the same frquency as the US or Canada does. If your device was orignally from Rogers then if you have no probnlem with getting services to work in the US or canada or even the US virgin islands which Roghrs does cover but at an astoundingly high Calling and Data rate ( like $1.35 Per minute vouice and .35 cents per KB in the carribean .. then it might just be the phones settingts which RIM puits in depending on whare they intend to have the device sold ..they seell worldwqide so if your fivice was designed fo Asia it simnply might not use the bsame frequency as US or candain devices
Check the coverage map of whatever planyou have from whatevber alternate provider your going wiyh ..you had to get another sim cartd to get the devie working. That sim card has to be attched to some sort of data and voice plan. check the coverage and then look into where you bought your blackberry and whre yuour tring to use it from . if it's rogers check and see if the devioce itself wll work in Mexico ..it just might not. Riogeers isn't really interested in making it easy for you to use servoces from far awat. Theres no compitition and as small population. They don;t have to do anything more then possible, I have had a regular cell from Riogersa that worked throughout the carribean..but nbot in othr arteas at all. . I have a blackberry noi but I have another friend who went deeply into brazil and other areas and while devices locally bought( even smart phiones) worked. Devices bought in North America don't work in some countries. It;s like DVD encoding. If you buy a DVD that is coded for the Middle east it won"t play on your DVD thats supposed to be for use in North ameica. Smart phones have some simiolar restrictions locked or unlocked ,
