A new one has just arrived however a message came up on my blackberry screen saying i needed to unlock the sim and it then asked for an MEP code.... what is an MEP code and how do i get one?

I think they would charge you possibly?

This site will do it free but can take up to 14 days I think:

Just follow the steps, they're rather easy.

I have used them and it is free to unlock one Blackberry per email account if I remember correctly 🙂

Is your blackberry locked onto a particular network? If so then you will need to get it unlocked
