Insert a Non-Vodafone working SIM card.

Ensure the phone is charged and then switch the phone on.

Optional Step: If the SIM card has a PIN, enter your PIN number.

The phone will then display a message top of the screen. The most common is “Invalid SIM card”.

Select “Settings” Menu , then go to Advanced Options > SIM Card

Type alt-MEPE by holding the ALT-key and typing the letters MEPE
This will not show on the screen.

When prompted with “Enter Network MEP code (255 left)” on the screen, enter the 16-digit network unlock code provided for your phone (with no "p", "w", "+" or "#"), then press Enter.

The handset will be unlocked automatically. This will be confirmed if you can make and receive calls with the Non-Vodafone SIM card.

Reboot the BlackBerry and off you go.
