    I bought a BB Torch and I was told there was no problem setting Tmobile up in the phone…WRONG! I called Tmobile and after almost 90 minutes on the phone they gave up and tranfered the call toRIM. The options they gave were:
    Use their Tech Support for 49 bucks without any guarantee, call TMobile? or , go talk to the store where I purchased it and have them replace it for another model.
    That's what I did and now the store doesnt want to replace me the phone and the only option they they could think of was for me to change from Tmobile to ATT…
    Any other options?

    Hey, always keep in mind that all phones have only a limited number of attempts to enter the code. Losing those attempts by trying wrong codes will hardlock your phone and you may never be able it unlock it again.

    It’s simple to unlock Blackberry Torch 9800 form any network provider. You just buy a code for some trusted website and follow the instructions by word, your phone will be unlocked without any trouble.

    I got the code for my Blackberry Torch. It worked for me without any trouble. I suggest you to do the same to unlock your phone.

    Bye.
