Unlock Your Blackberry 9860
The Blackberry Torch 9860 was launched in September 2011
. It's a well made handset with a very nice design and large 3.7" touch screen. While there isn't any physical keyboard on this particular phone, the touch screen keyboard is very responsive and eliminates the issues experienced in older Blackberry touchscreen models (like the Storm). The cellphone can operate on 2G networks (GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900) and 3G networks (HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100 or HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 / 800).
Some key features on this phone consist of a 1.2 GHz processor, 2.5 Gigabytes storage space (with a microSD card slot which will hold as much as 32 Gigabytes of additional storage), and 768 mb of RAM. It measures 120 x 62 x 11.5 millimeters, weighs 135 grams, offers a 3.7 inch (~252 ppi pixel density) TFT capacitive touch-screen with 16M colors, 5 Mega-pixel auto-focus camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v2.1, microUSB v2.0, Gps navigation, and operates on the BlackBerry 7 Operating system.
In the event that you purchased this smartphone and decided to swap service provider, or perhaps you're vacationing and wish to use the phone with another simcard, you will have to unlock the phone. If you don't unlock it, an error message will appear on the phone as soon as you insert a new simcard.
Listed below are the instructions you must follow to unlock your Blackberry Torch 9860:
1. Insert a non accepted simcard (a simcard that's not from your original carrier). Turn on cell phone.
2) Once your phone boots up, it will display the message "Your current sim card requires an unlock code. Would you like to unlock it?". Press on "Yes".
3) Enter the unlock code. In the event that you dont have an unlock code, have a glance at the footer of this write-up for information on where to get one.
4) The cell phone should say "Code accepted". Your Blackberry is now unlocked.
Listed here are alternate unlocking instructions if the procedure mentioned above give you difficulties.
1. Place a non-accepted simcard into your phone (a simcard that isn't from the original service provider). Turn on the phone.
2) Go to Options > Device > Advanced System Settings > Simcard
3) Type in the letters MEPD
4) A Personalization screen will show up, that should show "Sim", "Network", "Network Subset", "Service Provider", "Corporate". On that same screen, hold the ALT key and push the buttons MEP2 (as you type, you won't see anything at all on the screen, but simply go ahead and type it anyway).
5) Phone should say "Enter Network MEP Code"
6) Input the unlock code.
7) Phone should display "Code accepted". Your Blackberry is now unlocked.
As soon as your unlock code has been entered and accepted, the phone will be unlocked permanently. You can then put in a simcard from any other carrier and the cellphone should instantly pick-up the network. In some instances you might need to change certain options on the phone (e-mail as well as other internet related services) by simply pointing them to your new service provider.
