BlackBerry® Pearl™

I recentley bought a new unlocked (used to be T mobile) balckberry flip 8220. It wont recognice my swedish sim card. Must the sim card support edge? Cause my carrier do not have edge, just GPRS and 3G.

Is the 8220 device unlocked for other carriers (other than Tmobile)?

To determine if your BlackBerry is "unlocked" for use on carriers other than for which it is branded:

1. On your BlackBerry, go to Options > Advanced Options > Sim Card.

2. At that screen type MEPD (see note below) on your keyboard. A new menu will pop up.

* If your BlackBerry has a SureType keyboard (71xx and 81xx devices) you will need to double-tap the P, so the actual keys entered become M E P P D.

3. Look for Network in the list.

4. If your device is "unlocked", it should say Disabled or Inactive. If it says Active, it's still locked to that carrier.

Ok i managed to get it to work and it says:

SIM  -  DISABLED

Network  -  Active

Networks Subset  -  Disabled

Service Provider  -  Disabled

Corporate  -  Disabled

Then you are locked to the device branded carrier.
