How To Permanently SIM Unlock Blackberry- Instantly!

UnlockBase offers you 3 different easy, safe, and convenient ways to unlock your Blackberry phone. You can even get your code in an instant! There’s no need to be a geek because all you need to know are the following.

1. Unlock Your Phone Using “IMEI + MEP”  or  “IMEI + PRD” – Simply find your Blackberry’s IMEI and MEP and/or PRD number for us to calculate the unlock code. The IMEI is your phone’s serial number. On the other hand, the MEP and PRD are specific codes about your Blackberry that will help us determine the correct unlock code for your phone. You can get the MEP or PRD of your device and get the sim unlock code in an instant.

2. Unlock Your Phone Through Direct Cable Unlock – If you find the first two processes confusing, you can also choose to unlock your Blackberry through our Cable Unlock Software. Through our Cable Unlock Software, you will be able to unlock your phone with a little help from your computer. It’s a simple plug and play process and you can just easily enter the License Number we’ll give you to allow the unlock to push through.

3. Order a Permanent SIM Unlock Code – We supply Blackberry unlock codes for 217 Blackberry cell phone models. It doesn’t matter if it’s an old Blackberry, or one of the latest releases, with UnlockBase you will find a solution to successfully unlock your Blackberry, fast. There’s no need to send us your phone, just provide us the Serial Number (IMEI) of your phone and we will promptly deliver your unlock code.

1. Unlocking Your Phone Through “IMEI +MEP” or “IMEI + PRD”

Simply find 2 important details of your phone:

1. IMEI
2. MEP/PRD

Either you unlock through MEP or PRD, it’ll be the same of the same price and unlock process. The matter between choosing which service to use will depend on which data is more conveniently accessible for you.

4 Ways To Find IMEI:

1. Dial Screen: Dial *#06#
2. Go To Settings -> About -> General -> Hardware -> IMEI
3. Under Battery Housing : Turn off Phone -> Remove back cover carefully -> Remove Battery
4. On Original Phone Box : If you have the phone’s original box, you will see the IMEI on the back side.

2 Ways To Find MEP

1. Cable Method

With the cable method, you will have to download a file in our website which is the Blackberry MEP reader. This is exclusively from UnlockBase and the download process is super easy. It will also instruct you to add Blackberry drivers on your computer if necessary.

1. Simply go to: http://www.unlockbase.com/download/blackberry-mep-reader-software-by-cable.zip. Since this is obviously a zip file your computer will be automatically downloading this or you’d have to click allow to download it.
2. Install the Blackberry Driver. While installing the driver, let’s tweak a phone settings on your phone to allow the software to read it.
3. On your phone, go to Options > Media Card > Memory Card or just type Memory or Storage on search bar
4. Uncheck Media Card Support, Mass Storage Mode Support, and Auto Enable Mass Storage.
5. Save all Settings and exit.
6. If there’s a password, temporarily disable them for a more seamless process.
7. Go to Options > Security Options > General Settings or simply type Password on search bar.
8. Uncheck Enable. Save Settings and exit.
9. Open Blackberry MEP Reader on your computer.
10. Connect Blackberry phone to your computer via a USB cable (the cable that originally came with it).
11. Click Read Phone.
12. Your MEP should be there in a minute or two.

It’s pretty easy. You simply download a software, install Blackberry drivers, temporarily disable added password on your Blackberry and storage, and then connect it via a cable to your computer.

Take note that our software is designed only to read the MEP of your Blackberry and the purpose it serves for. No data from your phone other than that will be taken. Nonetheless, if you don’t have a cable or if you are using a Linux or Mac, you can use the next available method.

2. Keypad Method

This method lets you get the MEP code using your keypad. You will have to take note of a few codes during the process, so it will be helpful if you have pen and paper handy. However, this doesn’t work on all models.

1. Go to phone’s Main screen.
2. Access Help Me Menu: Press Alt + H (caps) at the same time – 1. Pearl & Sure-type phone: Press and Hold Alt + type E, A, C, E; 2. Storm phone: Hold the Back Arrow + Tap screen’s Top Left, Top Right, Top Left and Top Right.
3. You will see the image illustrated above.
4. On your computer or any other device go to this page: https://www.unlockbase.com/widget/blackberry-escreen-keygen.php.
5. Type the details it’s asking for: PIN, App Version, and Uptime. Follow everything including the decimals.
6. Click Generate Key. Wait while it generates the key.
7. Type the key on your phone. You won’t see it appearing on the screen, so just type the letters once. If you are typing numbers hold the Alt key. If you are going to close the screen the uptime may change and you may need to restart the process again.
8. You will then see the Engineering Screen Contents.
9. Go to OS Engineering Screens. Note: we are not changing any setting on your phone, we are simply navigating through its systems to get the MEP code.
10. Go to Device Information.
11. Scroll down to MEP-XXXXX-XXX  – (X are of course replaced by digits)
12. Take note of your MEP and send it over to us along with the IMEI.

How To Find The PRD

If you find that finding the MEP is a lot more thorough than you expect, you can also choose to unlock your Blackberry via IMEI+ PRD. Do note that we recommend the IMEI+MEP method because there are instances where the PRD is not consistent on some Blackberry devices.

Here’s how to find the PRD on any Blackberry Phone:

1. Turn off phone.
2. Unload the Battery.
3. Look for PRD on the battery housing.
4. There’s your PRD code, please send it to us together with your Blackberry’s IMEI (Serial Number).

Once you have this information, you can now proceed on ordering your Unlock Code for Blackberry phone from UnlockBase. Before we go on how to do that, let’s explore one more way, you can have your phone unlocked without the need to enter any unlock code – Cable Unlock Software.

Here’s a sample video on how to enter unlock code for Blackberry Q10:

Eligibility Requirements vary per phone model and manufacturer, so if you are unlocking two different Blackberry phones they will each have a unique unlock process and pre-unlock requirements. Please follow the added instructions diligently.

There are four common requirements on all phones (manufacturers). These are also just a few of the major reasons why our unlock codes don’t work.

4 Instances That The Unlock Code Doesn’t Work

1. When Your Phone Is Running A Custom OS

If your phone is running a custom OS it means that it is not using the original/stock ROM or operating system that Blackberry had officially installed in it.

If you are not the first owner of the phone, you can check this via the Settings.

Although Blackberry developed its own software, there are certain models which are running on Android.  So, if your Blackberry is running Android, you need to check whether it is still using the stock Android OS or not. A few of the most common custom Android ROM/ OS developers are Cyanogen, XDA, etc.

2. When Your  Phone Is Hardlocked

If your phone is hardlocked, it means that you have zero unlock attempts. It is probably because you have entered the unlock code wrong too many times or the last owner of the phone did.

Unfortunately, we cannot unlock hardlocked phones using an unlock key. Before you confirm your order, you will be given an instruction on how to check the remaining unlock attempts on your phone (it varies per Blackberry model). Please diligently do so.

3. When Your Phone Has A Mobile Device Unlock App Installed

The Mobile Device Unlock App is pre-installed on all T-Mobile and MetroPCS phones. So if your Blackberry is from any of these two mobility providers, please check if this app is already installed.

If you unfortunately, mislooked this app and confirmed your order for an unlock code, then it will not be unlocked. We will not be able to provide you a refund for this, though.

4. When Your Phone Is Blacklisted

A Blacklisted phone is a phone that is either reported lost or stolen by the owner or by the mobility/telco service provider. Your service provider will put your phone on a blacklist if the device is under a postpaid contract and was not paid in full or if there’s an unpaid balance.

If that’s the case, you will not be able to use your phone to any network. A Blacklisted phone cannot be used with any carrier in your country.

Although, we can safely assume we can unlock a Blacklisted phone, you will not be able to use it as a phone anyway, so why unlock it?
