| 1105245 | 2010-05-31 00:11:00 | Hi, my sister has given me her Blackberry cell phone as she doesnt use it (too complicated??) It is a telecom model and i use Vodafone so i rang vodafone about using it and the rep mentioned unlocking it online (~$30 fee) Has anyone here successfully done this and got a telecom only Blackberry working on the vodafone network?? I have been in to telecom but the phone must go on a plan due to its data functionality, but seeing i am not a telecom customer it was going to cost me $30/month :horrified TIA |

My other phone is faulty. Apparently they will go on GSM if unlocked, i am going to ring telecom today and "try" to get the unlock code. (good luck with that i know) Thanks |
