How to unlock the BlackBerry Pearl and enter Blackberry Unlock Codes

One of our editors recently wrote a very popular article on How to Unlock any Nokia phone absolutely free. I recently got the latest Blackberry Pearl cell phone and absolutely love it. I might be travelling overseas for couple of weeks and I definitely don’t want to be stuck paying the international calling charges to T-Mobile. So, I started looking around the internet and on IRC forums to see if there is a free way to do it. Most of the places charge in excess of $65 US for unlocking the blackberry pearl. I have outlined three options for you, one of which unlocks your BlackBerry Pearl cell phone absolutely free.

GSM phone source logoOption # 1: GSM Phone Source

These guys provide you with remote unlocking of the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 and also the BlackBerry Pearl 8700g.

How it works is pretty simple. You pay for the unlocking service, and when you submit your order, you must include the IMEI number for the Blackberry you are unlocking in the notes section when you are making the Paypal payment. The IMEI Number can be obtained when you enter *#06# from your phone’s keypad, it will display a 15 digit number ( If you have trouble obtaining the IMEI this way you can also find the IMEI number in the Status menu ). Once your order is processed and unlock code is ready, you will be emailed with an unlock code and instructions on how to enter it.

Models supported, including but not limited to are the 8100, Pearl, 8700g, 5xxx Series, 6xxx Series, 7xxx Series.

You have to pay $35 for their service and the turnaround time is usually less than 24 hours. You can visit GSM Phone source here

Unlock to talk logoOption # 2: Unlock to Talk

Unlock to Talk is another good option to unlock your BlackBerry Pearl. They have over 150 satisfied customers with completed orders for unlocking their phones. You can also check the list of their customers with their BlackBerry IMEI numbers and their corresponding Unlock Codes here.

For Unlock to talk service, you end up paying $35.95. Their turnaround time is also around 1 business day or upto 48 hours.

You can visit Unlock to Talk here

Option # 3: T-Mobile or Cingular, your carrier

Yes, you can ask your carrier for an unlock code for your Blackberry and guess what, they do it for it Absolutely FREE. So, what is the catch? The only condition which atleast T-Mobile imposes on its customers before it gives out the unlock codes for the Blackberry Pearl or any other cell phone is that you have to be under the contract for atleast 90 days or 3 months before they can give you the unlock code. So, if you have the patience, I would recommend that you wait for this 3 month time frame before calling up 611 from your T-Mobile phone, talk to customer service and get your unlock codes.

In my search for the Blackberry Unlock codes, I found out that a lot of people mess up before they have no idea how to enter the unlock codes correctly. So, follow this method to enter your Blackberry Unlock code

How To Enter the Unlock Codes on a BlackBerry Cell Phone

Enter BlackBerry Unlock codesModel : All BlackBerry Models (except T-mobile)

1 - Using the menu go to Settings Menu -> SIM card press select.

5 - Release the shift key.

  7. michael jones on March 29th, 2007 7:15 pm

    where can i get a free one?

  8. admin on March 30th, 2007 12:05 am

    You want a free BlackBerry Pearl? Ok, with a two year contract from T-Mobile, you are actually getting the Blackberry pearl for Free and $50 back. Yup, you are earning more in rebates than what you paid for it. You can get this deal on Amazon. I added the link below

    http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-8100-Pearl-myFaves-T-Mobile/dp/B000ID10JE/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-9790463-5858524?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1175227436&sr=8-1

  9. admin on March 30th, 2007 12:11 am

    Also, in the comments Jhon mentioned that he unlocked his pearl from Cellularclinic. Cellular clinic charges $59.99 which is on the higher end that the two sites that were mentioned in this post. These two are the cheapest and the current best options to unlock your BlackBerry Pearl.

  10. chi nguyen on April 4th, 2007 5:03 pm

    I do the way you tech ,but when thay say put the # unlock code.I don’t know.Cn you show me how and where i can find my code # for unlock

  11. wayne on April 6th, 2007 2:10 pm

    I justed used gsmphonesource to unlock a pearl from t-mobile

    Also here are some unlock instruction found here:

    http://blackberryforums.pinstack.com/7488-unlocking_t_mobile_blackberry_pearl_8100_a.html?highlight=pearl+cingular

    Prerequisite: unlock code

    1) In the SIM Card menu, press meppd
    2) You’ll see the unlocking level screen there you type mepp2
    *You won’t see any text while you are typing either one of these.
    3) Enter the unlock code.

  12. admin on April 7th, 2007 12:55 am

    Thanks Wayne. The forum is pretty good. However, anyone looking to unlock their Blackberry shouldnt face a lot of issues. Let us know if you run into any problems.

  13. Paki Nimer on April 7th, 2007 5:26 pm

    I am looking for a free unlcok code for my BlackBerry Pearl device, And I recently bought it from U.A.E.
    Can any 1 Help??

  14. admin on April 7th, 2007 9:13 pm

    Hey Paki Nimer, trust me when I say I looked everywhere for a FREE unlock code. The only free option is as mentioned in this post, is if you got the phone with a contract from either T-Mobile or Cingular in the USA, you can get a free unlock code after 3 months. The two sites mentioned here are the cheapest available and the most reliable options out on the Internet. If you bought the phone without a contract from a non USA or UK country, the best option for you would be to use one of the two sites mentioned in this post to get your unlock code.

  15. Aaron on April 11th, 2007 2:01 pm

    Gee, for half the price quoted, UnlockBlackberry.org unlocks Blackberry phones, too. Surprised you didn’t research that.

  16. daniel on April 16th, 2007 12:26 am

  17. Mike on April 16th, 2007 1:46 pm

    To daniel, you dont neeed to hold the shift key. Just type in med wherever it appears on ur blackberry keyboard

  18. Mat on April 18th, 2007 4:48 pm

    Was wondering if anyone knows where i can get/buy software that would unlock the pearl?

  19. Subodh Dubey on April 23rd, 2007 4:23 am

    I got the code and unlocked my BB Pearl…. great post really helpful to get my work done

  20. TeckniX on April 24th, 2007 1:04 am

    Thanks for searching into this.

    coming from the Nokia world I find myself a bit frustrated.

    Did you ever find a ‘reason’ as to why there’s so many unlocking tools out there for Nokias, yet all the other phones are lacking heavily in that department.

    I understand that all of those unlocking companies have access to some sort of common database, or paid for the IMEI unlock code.

    Just looking for answers really to explain their access to stuff we don’t ;)

  21. Francis on April 24th, 2007 6:05 pm

    my blackberry 8100 is with rogers and i would like to know how i could unlock it so it works wit fido

  22. Ted on April 25th, 2007 1:39 am

    for a rogers phone choose unlocktotalk. And then for entering the codes, follow the first option( all blackberry models except T-Mobile) in this post

  23. jonathan on April 26th, 2007 8:12 pm

    THE BEST UNLOCKER IS UNLOCKMODE ON EBAY. HE CAN UNLOCK ANY MOTOROLA PHONE SAME DAY BY CODE

  25. techno on May 2nd, 2007 9:56 am

    most of the comment it say
    1) In the SIM Card menu, press meppd
    2) You’ll see the unlocking level screen there you type mepp2
    *You won’t see any text while you are typing either one of these.
    3) Enter the unlock code.

    Miso, what kind of BB is it? A rogers or the regular 8100. Also, when you punch in the unlock key, what do you mean you get nothing? Could you be more specific like at which stage you are getting stuck ..

    The IMEI : 354879016060104

  34. krys on May 11th, 2007 4:28 pm

    Blacktiger, you and i in the same boat. the sme thing happening to me.

  35. OsKr on May 14th, 2007 10:15 pm

    Got the code with the guys from cell-unlock.com for my pearl for $28, in about 12 hrs. Their instructions didn’t work though, so followed instructions on this site and worked fine (third set of instructions).

  36. JEFF00 on May 15th, 2007 7:18 pm

    I been doing some research on this and to answer STEPH’s post. I think the IMEI is different on each phone kinda like the ESN number Verizon uses. And the unlock code is different for each phone based on the phones IMEI number. The unlock code is probably a generated number which is based on the IMEI number for the phone you are trying to unlock. What I have been seaching for is an IMEI calculator for a blackberry 7105T. Since I bought the phone locked to T-mobile and I am a Cingular customer I guess I am screwed unless I pay for the unlock code. I am going to try and call T-mobile and plead with them and see if they can find a bit of kindness and give me the unlock code.

  37. Sigs on May 16th, 2007 5:25 am

    Hey, thanks a million! I used the last optio n for my BB Pearl and it worked. I had the code fom cingular but acc to instructions was asked to type ‘MEPD’ instead of MEPPD. It never worked and I was really at a loss till I came across this!! Now I can FINALLY use my phone. Really had a bad exp with Cingular!

  38. Christine Gordon on May 16th, 2007 9:30 am

    I have tried to unlock my 8100 blackberry pearl. However, I have used up all 10 attempts. How can I reset the counter so that I can follow your instructions on unlocking my phone. The unlock code I received was incorrect. Why? no one asked me what network (i.e cingulair or Tmobile) i was connected to prior to providing the unlock code. I later learnt, after I had exhausted the attempts, form the provide of the unlock code that i was given the incorrect unlock code. Great.

  39. flog on May 20th, 2007 3:09 am

    I have an 8100 pearl for t-mobile. Lets just say i do unlock it and i have cingular service, what happens after i unlock it and put my sim card in?do i have to re-register the phone?

    To flog, no you do not have to re-register your phone. Unlock , put in your sim and you are good to go

    I used your instructions and called T-Mobile. They emailed my unlock code within 24 hours and it worked! THANKS! Now, to use my phone in Europe, I need to buy a new SIM card right? My friend in Austria told me I would need a different card for each country I want to use my Blackberry Pearl in. Is he correct? Where do you recommend buying these cards?

  54. V-Ness on June 7th, 2007 3:40 pm

  60. Giles on June 28th, 2007 9:34 am

    I have been trying to get my Pearl unlocked for days. CellularOne is my service. They gave me the code and we double-checked it with the IMEI number as accurate and it gives an error message when I hit the trackball (enter). Any suggestions? I’m down to four trys remaining.

  61. josh on June 28th, 2007 3:16 pm

    Any of you guys having issues unlocking your phones, goto http://www.newmobilefreedom.com ………..they should be able to unlock almost any GSM cell phone.

  64. Yanique on July 5th, 2007 9:37 am

    This website helped me a lot. T mobile said they couldn’t help me unlock the phone without a sim card. But I went to GSM phone source and in a few hours I got the code and it works!!!! Thanks for the instructions too on how to unlock it. Works like a dream
    By the way in Jamaica, I have heard that Tmobile only works on our Cable and Wireless network not the digicel. Don’t know why.

    Think I’ve just read every comment on unlocking a blackberry, still no one will answer the BIG question “what is the actual code”
    Someone one day will actually just blow everyone else out of the water and give the “code” out gratis. Won’t that cause an upset.
    So what is it for a BB 8800?

  68. Spencer on July 15th, 2007 1:11 pm

    I have verizon and i am very interested in getting B.P. If i unlock it, will i be able to use it through verizon?

  69. db on July 17th, 2007 8:11 pm

    Will people STOP asking for a code already. There is no GENERAL CODE. Each code is unique to the IMEI. A code for me, may not work for someone else. If people claim that they have been searching, then I’m quite sure that they have seen that the IMEI is what is needed to generate the unlock code.

    With that being said, I’m actually quite upset that all this is is a simple IMEI calculator. You pay these companies money, they take your IMEI, plug your code into the program, and send it back to you. After the first 50 times selling this, at even 25 bucks a pop, I think it’s high time to give this code up. It’s nothing magic. All it is is a IMEI calculator, similiar to the Nokia ones. If I had more programming skills, I’d create a free one, just to put all of these greedy companies and people out of this part of the business. Maybe if I got enough people with unlocked phones, who actually got the unlock code, I could take their IMEI’s, and the unlock codes, and reverse engineer. Possible?

  70. sha on July 18th, 2007 9:35 pm

    i have an old blue sim - WILL NOT switch because I have the great North American plan that noone offers anything comparable to anymore. I bought a blackberry pearl cingular branded on ebay - I get a invalid sim sos code though the guy says he used it with an ATT sim himself. I call 611, they tell me i have to upgrade, I ask can’t they give me an unlock code? She tells me she can file for one, that I will have to provide proof of purchase, and that I will receive my decision in a week and that I CAN’T USE DATA SERVICE ONCE IT’S UNLOCKED?!?! IS this true or are they just trying to scare me out of trying it? That seems absolutely stupid. I’m annoyed because I’ve been a great customer for years. GRR.

  78. Edgeman on August 5th, 2007 2:29 am

    What I would *really* like is the IMEI calculator that generates unlocking codes… Anyone seen one (other than the free Nokia software that is on download.com)?

    I have a slightly different question. My phone is unlocked. I want to lock my phone. Is there any way I can do that?

  82. B on August 10th, 2007 9:44 am

    Definately call your provider to get the unlock code. If it is AT&T the turnaround it tops 7 days. I have called and got the unlock code over the phone when I called and the next time had to email info and wait a week. There is no consistency in the way they handle this request. However the point to this is you will get it in less than a week.

  88. Brian on August 24th, 2007 12:42 am

    I recently unlocked my cingular blackberry phone and tried to sell it to a t mobile customer. When he put in his sim card to try it out the phone asked him for a pin (which neither one of us knew) before it would start working for him. When I put in my old (cingular) sim card the phone doesn’t ask for a pin. He wouldn’t buy the phone because it wouldn’t work for him. Is this pin something that has to do with his service? Please advise me on whats wrong?

    I recently purchased 3 BB curve from some guy on craigslist.
    i went to google and searched for “unlock blackberry”

    I did not know what brand these 8300’s were locked on.

    I tried a guy on ebay but he said no codes were found.
    The site I found with my google search http://www.unlockblackberry.org got the codes for all 3 of my curve BB.

    it took a week but now my BB are unlocked.

  110. mary on September 24th, 2007 2:36 pm

    for T-mobile blackberry all you need to do is dial 611 and tell them you want your phone unlock and they’ll send you email/txt msg instruction with your codes for free. it takes about 24hours.

  111. Badger on September 25th, 2007 12:15 pm

    For all those that keep asking for a CODE, STOP NOW!!

    If you can’t get one from your provider, Pay for one! If you can’t afford to pay for one, HOW CAN YOU AFFORD A BLACKBERRY? Or the call/data plan?

    Jeez!

    BB pearl8100, arriving in china for work my BB wouldnt accept the chinamobile sim card [invalid sim ] so after a few visits to the endless phone shops that are here my chinese friend explained what i required, the guy in the shop said he needed the lead from my phone to the PC, so the next day i went back and after a few minutes he unlocked it to accept a china mobile sim, his charge was 20 rmb approx 1 pound 60 pence UK sterling. So i was thinking if he has this software it must be available in the west. If i can get my hands on it I will post the download on the web for all , but the only problem it will be in chinese text .

    as it was previously said, the unlock code depends on your IMEI. regardless, the code that i got for mine (whether or not you people feel like trying it since IMEI is different) 2232911292614893.

    also you can ask cingular for it FOR FREE. they have that dumb 90 day period supposedly but i just said I forgot when I actually got the phone. the guy said well i can check that for you go ahead and give me the IMEI number. i did so and after 5 minutes of the computer crunching he gave me the code (note i’ve only had the fone for a month at most) so it doesn’t hurt to try anyways.

  178. miami3o5 on December 22nd, 2007 4:11 am

    I have 1 question… what is it that these guys do to get the unlock codes to the blackberrys? Is it a software or hardware or some database list somewhere? Im tired of this bullshit.. someone spill the beans already.. this is what internet was made for! I did find some Unlockers,like the one from Furious Gold for like $200 but none do the 8000 and up Blackberrys.. so no Pearls or Curves. How the hell do all the “remote unlock” guys do it. SOMEONE ANSWER PLEASE!!

    You guys are fucking retarded to see a million post before yours with no replies and yet you still ask for the same shit. I wish i could e-slap the shit outta some of you.

  186. holly on December 29th, 2007 5:09 pm

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! seems a lot of peeps on here didn’t read the whole article. You can totally do this for free!! I just called Tmobile and they are supposed to email my unlock code within the next 24 hours. I also ran thru your instructions and they work great. got to the place i need to put the code really easily!

    I’m giving the phone to my brother who is on at&t/cingular. my only question is - should we download the blackberry software from cingular and install it? Tmobile has specific email fowarding software, etc, and i don’t think it will work. so should we reformat the whole phone? what do you think?

  193. Chetan Kapat on January 11th, 2008 2:29 am

    I have a BB8100 pearl mobile from at&t. I got the unlock code from at&t but still unable to unlock it with the procedure provided by them. I am trying it sitting in India.
    The process I followed is.
    Put the at&t sim in. Switched on the handset. Turn off the wireless option. Then followed the path as :->
    Settings => Options => Advance Options => SIM Card.
    It displayed:
    +++++++++++++++
    SIM Card: Security Disa…
    ID:
    Phone Number:
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    Then pressed and hold the ALT key and typed mepd.
    The released the ALT key and pressed mep ALT 2.
    Nothing was displayed at this time.
    Then it typed the unlock code. This time also nothing was displayed.
    The I hit the enter key.
    Restarted the handset.
    Inserted the SIM from an Indian network provider. But still showing Invalid SIM.
    It looks like I did some mistake in unlocking it.
    Please help my with the right procedure.
    Thanks.

  194. sortablediablo on January 11th, 2008 10:44 pm

    Hi,
    I have a Cingular Blackberry Pearl 8100 , which I want to unlock. I have the unlock Code with me, but I am unable to unlock it.
    As per instructions from Cingular (AT&T) -
    Step Action
    1 Insert Cingular SIM into device
    2 Power phone on and Turn off the radio (Turn Wireless Off option) VERY IMPORTANT.
    3 Select “Options”
    4 Scroll down and select “SIM Card”
    5 Type “MEPD” (multitap means this will be typed in [M] [ER] [OP] [OP] [DF])
    6 Type “MEP2″ (multitap means this will be typed in [M] [ER] [OP] [OP] [TY])
    7 Enter the Unlock Code
    8 Press enter
    9 Reboot device. Device is now unlocked.

    I have used above steps but looks phone is not unlocked , I need help , Can Any one answer my these questions:
    1. Once I succesfully type MEPD , what the next screen look like i.e will screen show some thing to accept next command i.e MEP2 or How do I know that I am at currect unlocking level screen.
    2. Similiarly What screen will look like , once I type MEP2
    3.Once I type Unlock Code correctly, will screen displays any message like PHONE UNLOCKED or How do I know that Phone is succesfully Unlocked..?
    4. In the forum I have some where read that use MEPPD inplace of MEPD in step 1 and MEPP2 inplace of MEP2 in step 2 ..is that required for my Cingular(AT&T) Blackberry pearl.
    Please help.

  226. Mike D on February 18th, 2008 7:14 pm

    This is how I got mine unlocked, so I could give it to my girl to use in Spain. If you have the IMEI number, call your provider of the phone and tell them that your going to wherever for a long period of time and you would like to use that country’s provider’s SIM cards. So I called AT&T and told them that I was moving to Spain and I didn’t want their extended international service. The operator just gave me the 16-digit unlock code. Then I followed the instructions in this site titled: Model : BlackBerry Pearl 8100 (Alternative instructions if above instructions do not work). I had to walk my girl through, who is not the most technological inclined person. She was able to unlock it.

    I’m not sure, but I think there’s only one code that’s unique per phone, so you can’t use my code for your phone. So these companies that are charging $20+ to unlock phones are making some real money. They ask for the IMEI number and somehow get the codes. Nicely done. Of course you could just buy the hardware unlocking kits, but those aren’t cheap either.

    I hope this was helpful

    I need help.
    I’m totally and utterly confused.
    I have a BB Pearl, from T-Mobile.
    I have AT&T.
    I want the Pearl to work on AT&T.
    Do I call AT&T and tell them I want to unlock it?

    (I previously had an iPhone and I must say I’m quite intimidated by the words “UNLOCK” and “AT&T” in the same sentence)

    help?!

  235. Dale on March 2nd, 2008 7:25 am

    Hi,

    From what I gather, you can contact T-Mobile direct ( as long as you have an address in the same country as the provider) and request your unlock code. This can then be entered into to pearl to unlock your phone so that you can use it with any mobile service like AT&T.

    Hope that helps, sorry I can not give you a unlock code. I am trying to get one myself.

    Forget about Pearl. Just try to get BB-8830. This CDMA-GSM world edition phone comes from provider already unlocked. I am a Sprint customer, I travel to Europe several times a year and the phone works with my Swiss, Turkish, Italian and Austrian sim cards without any problem. But you have to know that you can’t use GSM service in America. This phone has only 900/1800 band which is only for Europe and Asia. In America you have to use CDMA.(Sprint or verizon)

    Rogers, cellular company in Canada, will NOT give your unlock code so that you can use differant SIM cards in their phone. They said it’s a policy now.
