We’re not giving out free information on how to unlock your BlackBerry without any unlock code or anything.  These instructions are for those who do have an unlock code, but don’t know the means of putting into the actual BlackBerry.  This 10 step process should take no longer than 4 minutes.

  • 1. Turn off all of the wireless connections (manage connections – turn all connections off)
  • 2. Go to the Options icon on the device
  • 3. Select Advanced Options
  • 4. Select SIM Card
  • 5. On a Storm, hit Menu key to select Show Keyboard, on a QWERTY/SureType, advance to Step 6.
  • 6. Type “mepd” (keep in mind that you won’t be able to see what you type)
  • 7. Then type the letters  “mep2″
  • 8. Now it will say ‘Enter network mep code’
  • 9. At this time you’ll have to put in your unlock code.
  • 10. Enable your wireless connection with the new sim card inside and you’re good to go.
