3. Ensure the phone is charged and then switch the phone on.



4. Optional Step: If the SIM card has a PIN, enter your PIN number. (See FAQ below)



5. The phone will then display a message. The most common is “Invalid SIM card”. (Different message? See FAQ below)




6. Select “Turn Wireless Off”



7. Select “Settings” Menu , then go to Advanced Options > SIM Card



8. Type alt-MEPT by holding the ALT-key and typing the letters MEPT with multitap i.e. type hold ALT, type {M}{ER}{OP}{OP}{TY}

11. Switch the phone on and the handset will be unlocked automatically. This will be confirmed if you can make and receive calls with the Non-Vodafone Australia SIM card. (You will need reception and phone credit with the different network provider)




Please Note:



If the unlocking code is entered incorrectly the next attempt to unlock the device will be delayed for 10 seconds increments. The number of unlocking attempts is limited to 255 tries only. When 255 attempts is reached the phone will be permanently blocked.



To unblock the phone, it must be taken to a RIM service centre. No outgoing calls including emergency call is possible when the phone is blocked.



Troubleshooting:




Question: My phone asks to enter a PIN number

Answer: For SIM cards with PIN ENABLED you will be required to enter a PIN. This is not the unlocking code that has just been provided. For information concerning the PIN, PIN2, PUK and PUK2 codes for a SIM card please read the manual that came with your phone or contact your carrier. This is not a handset unlocking issue.



Question: Nothing happens when I type MEPD / MEP2

Answer: Try the following: (note the characters will not appear on the screen when typing the characters)

1. Put any SIM card in the handset. Can be active/inactive. If you already have a SIM in the handset, try a different SIM from a different carrier/provider.


2. Go to Wireless Connections in the main menu and turn off all connections, then follow the unlocking procedure again.

3. Ensure in the personalisation list the NETWORK option is ACTIVE (this means the phone is locked as the network lock is active) if it does not, check the phone is not already unlocked by putting in a SIM from a different carrier.



Question: BlackBerry Storm 9500/9530 - I am having problems entering MEPD and MEP2

Answer: Due to the fact you can't see what you're typing in the hidden menus, you should keep trying. For every attempt you must exit the menu before trying again. We recommend hovering over the correct character and then when you can see the correct character light up blue, then click the screen.

Also ensure there is a SIM card in the phone and try the procedure again. This can be any active/inactive SIM card from any network.




Question: I've successfully unlocked the handset but cannot use BlackBerry Data/Web/Email services

Answer: You will need to contact your carrier and ensure you have a working BlackBerry Internet Service / Bolt on attached to your tariff and that the BlackBerry has registered on their network. This usually is an extra cost and gives you access to the BlackBerry data services. If you already have this service, ask your network to ensure the handset is properly registered and ask them to send the 'Service Books' to the handset which will update any settings you have in the handset. Most carriers have a dedicated BlackBerry support team.

Tip: The following procedure can sometimes kicks the network into action - Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > BlackBerry Logo Button > Register Now




Question: I've received more than one code from you, which one do I use?

Answer: Enter each code until you see the 'Code Accepted' message. Only one will be the correct unlock code. You should have 10 attempts to enter the correct code.



Question: My phone only shows 3 tries left and you have sent me more than 3 codes

Answer: Please contact us using the contact form and let us know this as we may need to read your phone with a small application to verify the 1 correct code or suggest what codes from our experience depending on your model.




Question: My phone shows 0 tries left when asking for the MEP code

Answer: If you have received this message, this means that 10 attempts at entering the correct unlock code have been used. Unfortunately in this circumstance the only way to unlock the handset is via a hardware solution at a service centre.

Find your Blackberry's MEP ID



Some carriers use multiple MEP IDs for their BlackBerrys, so it is important that you find your BlackBerry's specific MEP ID. Finding this number on your BlackBerry will allow us to generate an unlock code with 100% accuracy. IF YOU GUESS YOUR MEP NUMBER YOU WILL GET AN INCORRECT UNLOCK CODE.




There are two methods to find your MEP ID.



The first method requires you to download the MEP reader program and the Blackberry Desktop Software (if you do not already have it). The second method requires you to navigate through menus on your phone and enter information into a calculator on this webpage.







The Fast Method (if you already have Blackberry Desktop Software)- MEP Reader: You can download this program that will find the MEP ID for you: >>>> Blackberry Reader (File Size: 96KB, PC Only) <<<<




You will also have to make sure you have the Blackberry Desktop Software from Blackberry, which can be found here: >>>> http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software<<<<.



Instructions:

Note: Please disable any user/screen lock password that you have set for the phone.




1. Run the MEP Reader software (Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Software installed (but not currently running), as noted above).



2. Click "Read Phone".



3. Turn on your Blackberry and connect the phone to your computer using the original USB cable. Note: If this is the first time you have connected your Blackberry to your computer you will have to wait for the computer to recognize your phone, which usually takes less than 20 seconds.



4. You will get your IMEI number and MEP ID. Please get your IMEI by typing *#06# into your phone as the Reader, in rare circumstances, may give you an incorrect IMEI.






Engineering Screen Method (No USB cable required): Please follow ALL 5 steps described below to find your MEP ID:



The first step is to access to the "Help Me" menu. To do so, while on the main screen of the phone hold the following keys : ALT CAPS H (at the same time).

Note: For Pearl and other Sure-type phones press and hold the ALT key (Bottom left) and type E A C E, for Storm, hold the BACK arrow, and tap the screen in the following areas: TOP LEFT, TOP RIGHT, TOP LEFT, TOP RIGHT.




*Do not leave this menu. If you do, start again as the Uptime will change.



You should be presented with a screen like the one shown below:









Type the "PIN", "App Version" and "Uptime" in the form located here (Fill in ALL fields before going to the next step):




NOTE: Include the space in the App Version, Ex:6.0.0.466 (1901)





Device PIN:

App Version:

Uptime:

Key Duration:




Your key is:Enter ALL the required data above.





Now simply type the KEY directly into your Blackberry. Nothing will appear when typing. For numbers hold the ALT key when typing. Do not press CAPS when entering the letters (they are lower case letters). Now you should be in the engineers menu - if you are not please try again ensuring the data you entered is EXACTLY as displayed. If you exited your BlackBerry menu at any time please ensure you change the "Uptime" on the form.



Navigate to 'OS Engineering Screens' as shown below:












Now scroll down to and select 'Device Info' and then scroll down until you see 'MEP-XXXXX-XXX' as shown below (The MEP shown below is "MEP-09292-004"):











This is your MEP ID! Include the MEP ID on the "MEP ID" s

**Is your phone BLOCKED?:






WARNING

It is REQUIRED that you make sure your phone is not blocked before you ask for an unlock code. If your phone is blocked an unlock code will NOT unlock your phone. You can check to see if your phone is blocked by going to: (OS6 or below) Options > Advanced Options > SIM Card and then typing in mepd or MEPD, (OS6 or above) Options > Device > Advanced System Settings > SIM Card and then type mepd or MEPD. If you see "BLOCKED" beside Network or Service Provider then someone has already tried to enter the unlock code too many times and hard-locked your phone.
