    Option # 3: T-Mobile or Cingular, your carrier

    Yes, you can ask your carrier for an unlock code for your Blackberry
    and guess what, they do it for it Absolutely FREE. So, what is the
    catch? The only condition which atleast T-Mobile imposes on its
    customers before it gives out the unlock codes for the Blackberry Pearl
    or any other cell phone is that you have to be under the contract for
    atleast 90 days or 3 months before they can give you the unlock code.
    So, if you have the patience, I would recommend that you wait for this
    3 month time frame before calling up 611 from your T-Mobile phone, talk
    to customer service and get your unlock codes.

    In my search for the Blackberry Unlock codes, I found out that a lot
    of people mess up before they have no idea how to enter the unlock
    codes correctly. So, follow this method to enter your Blackberry Unlock
    code

Blackberry pearl

contact your service provider if you need to unlock the sim to use it with another carrier....it will take a few days to get the code back if they have tot contact the manufacterer....but you need the 16 diget code......after you get that, go to options, advanced options, sim card, type MEPPD. scroll to sim card, type MEP and pres the ALT key and then the 2 key.

if that doesnt work, instead of typing MEP2, try pressing and holding the ATL key and type MEPPE

if this works, a window will pop up asking for the unlock code....
