Unlocking the BlackBerry Bold and the BlackBerry Pearl

BlackBerry Bold and Pearl unlocked and ready to rock

Now that we’re in San Francisco, it’s important for us to unlock our devices in order to save money on data costs. Once they’re unlocked, we can take advantage of an all-you-can-eat data SIM from AT&T that costs about $20.

With help from our good friend, Kevin at CrackBerry.com, we managed to unlock both the BlackBerry Bold and the Pearl.

    When you get the code, you normally get these instructions along with them. I have unlocked 2 blackberry phones from t-mobile, all you have to do is call the CSR and tell them that you will be going to europe or asia and don’t want to pay the $2.99 per minute roaming and they will email you the code with instructions. I know AT&T can be a pain in tha A$$ to provide you with the unlock codes but you won’t know till you try.

    When the blackberry bold is unlocked, does that mean that you can use wifi for whatever you want? i.e. use wifi to receive email, etc etc…

    I really would have loved to use wifi for everything, not only browsing, since data rates are a bit expensive in my country.

    Thanks beforehand
