Has anyone unblocked a Canadain blackeberry in Negril.:)
Thanks Lance
I just unlocked my own BB,got code on line for 15.00 us and it worked fine.Going to use it next week in JA.
there are a bunch of places that have signs for cell phone repair and unlocking.. not sure - they can probably do it - but - i would do it myself as well - that way you know it is ready to go when you get there. you could spend a bunch of vacation time screwin with it when you could be having fun.. and they are generally easy to unlock.. just search on google for blackberry (insert model # here) unlocking. you will find what you need.
Still trying to decide if I should bring my BB or just buy a cheap cell when I'm there. Only reason I'm concerned is what I've read about not being flashy, I don't want having it to make me a target of any kind, but I want to be able to use my phone in public if I need to. Anyone here regularly use a BB in Negril?
Tons of Jamaicans use Crackberry's. No worries at all.Quote:

I've read that, and I've also read it can make you a target. My cousin's iPhone was stolen last yr in Mo Bay, but it was in his hotel room (not in the safe though-they've learned their lesson). I'm trying to strike a balance between being paranoid and realistic :)Quote:

He has a few different options on his site, however I searched on eBay for unlock codes and got one from him for only $0.99! And it worked almost instantly, I had one little problem which was totally my fault because I missed the part where it says to not include any spaces or periods when I entered in the IMEI #, but he was VERY helpful and it was unlocked in minutes. So easy, and cheap!
I have had my smart phone unlocked here in Calgary and if fine. I could be careful though buying codes over the internet because some on unlock for a short time and others can lock up your phone permanently.If you like your phone I would take it to a licensed place. It only cost me 30.00
I just got a new smart phone and was advised by Bell to take it to a licensed place here. I was told they would charge about $30 also.Quote:

I have bought codes for a few different Blackberrys from this seller:

.99 and they all worked like a charm :)
Don't buy your unlock codes from anyone except an expensive authorized dealer for the same reason you shouldn't leave your a/i resort.
