Unlocking Blackberry Storm 9530

Hey!!  I need help unlocking my phone.  I just recently turned off service but would like to use my storm with another provider.  I called verizon they said they couldn't get the unlock code without it having active service with them.  Are unlocked codes per phone or one generic for the model?

Re: Unlocking Blackberry Storm 9530

Sigh.  Unfortunately you put the cart before the horse in this case.  I just, within the last half hour had my Storm unlocked by calling Verizon and getting the call to 611 escalated to Global Support Services.  It was a ten minute process to get the approval and unlock code.  It was another five to ten minutes to be talked through the procedure by the Verizon representative.

 

They will generally provide the unlock code if you are a customer of longstanding and have a good payment history with them.  I have nearly a decade of service with Verizon and have worked my way up from basic "vanilla" phones to where, I now have a Storm and my wife has an LG Dare.  I let them know I was planning a vacation to Europe and parts North East and South and needed an unlocked Storm in order to utilize locally obtained SIM cards for calling locally within Europe.

 

If you were still with Verizon you could get the unlock code with relative ease.  You, I assume, told them finis, adios.  They now have no incentive to supply the unlock code to you.  They now know why you want it.

 

Each unlock code is unique to the device for which it is given.  My unlock code cannot be used to unlock your Storm.  There are any number of companies that will provide for a fee an unlock code.

 

Look for my PM....:smileytongue:

Re: Unlocking Blackberry Storm 9530

I think my phone is hard locked. Is there a way to unlock it? Here was happen......

 

I have VZW, my friend AT&T, he put his SIM card on my phone, phone asked for a SIM Unlock Code. I don't know how many times he try to add a code (I wasn't around).

Now my phone says INVALID SIM CARD. Even when I put the VZW SIM it give me this message. I do have the unlock code for my phone now that I got from VZW. But I cannot enter in the phone.

Here is what I did:

1 - Options

2 - Advanced Options

3 - SIM Card

 

at this point I got a blank screen and at the top the message INVALID SIM CARD.

 

At my other Storm: at the point I see my SIM Card number .

 

I tried swapping the cards both cards works with one phone, but not the other.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

6. Hit menu select show keyboard (where needed)
7. Type MEPD (you will not be able to see the typed info)

@kpitao

If you are asking about hardlocked phone, meaning there is no attempts left to enter the code.

Here is a link to the only place in the USA that unlocks HARDLOCKED blackberry

You will need to send the phone to repair 0 MEP left issue
