Have you got a BlackBerry? Is it locked to one Network? Well thanks to one of our unlocking partners, you can now unlock your BlackBerry for free!
As you know last year we started to provide BlackBerry Services for just £3 extra alongside your goodybag but the majority of BlackBerry handsets are locked to one network so you need to get them unlocked.
Unlocks.co.uk are now offering giffgaff customers the opportunity to unlock their BlackBerry handsets for free – the service will return an unlock code within 3-5 days with the free service or for £3.99 within 15 minutes to 24 hours.
To unlock your BlackBerry using unlocks.co.uk you will need your IMEI number and PRD number which can be found on the sticker located under the battery.
Good luck and if you have any questions, or need help, remember you can ask the Community.
There are also some free unlocking calculators for BlackBerrys online, for which you’ll need an MEP ID and your IMEI - follow the below video guide, or take a look here. Some of these online calculators cannot provide codes for newer BlackBerry models, so make sure you don’t exceed your number of ‘tries’ to enter the code.
Brilliant to have a service like this available, only I came up with a problem when I clicked to download MEP.exe. My perimeter firewall says that it's infected with TR/Banker.Banker.bayq. Running it through VirusTotal has 21 of 40 tools identitfy it as nasty so I'm guessing that it's a false positive, but it's still a little worrying.
Following on from this, I tried downloading the file at work this morning (where the AV setup is different). AVG immediately identified it as HackTool.NZN (http://www.avgthreatlabs.com/webthreats/info/hacktool.nzn/). So I think this is not a false positive, but the file is infected I'm afraid I'd have to say that you should be wary of using a site that hosts an infected file that it recommends you should run. I'd go elsewhere for my BlackBerry unlock code.
@rhinoman - I will be looking into this but I can assure you the BlackBerry Logger is not a virus of any sort, we will also be updating our website so no software is required
I just wanted to clarify that the MEP information is NOT required and you do NOT need to download any software to obtain a free unlock code from Unlocks.Co.Uk! We require only the IMEI and PRD information which can be obtained from the information label located under the phone battery.
