you have to be quite tech saavy and you risk destroying the phone completely if u mess up. take it to a shop. BC, pm me if u need a lead.

You can find one of those asian cell phone stores that will unlock it for $10. Usually it takes them 2-3 days. I've had a few AT&T phones unlocked and used with Cingular (way before they merged). I was going to suggest unlocking it yourself if you had a Nokia since those are easy to unlock.

Here's one, I just went there on Sat to get my Razor unlocked...I dont know precise address but its on Bolsa in between Magnolia and Brookhurst. Its called Rainbow Sound and Cellular. It's right next to the Lee's Sandwiches on Bolsa in the next plaza (not across the street). Basically 22 west, exit Brookhurst, right on bolsa and its on your right side right before Magnolia.

The cost was $10 and took about 5 minutes. They do all types of phones I heard but not quite sure about blackberry, they do treos so I'm sure its not a problem.

If you need more info feel free to pm me. Sorry I dont have the exact address.

Good Luck
