Trouble Shooting

“Code Error” What do I do? Please DO NOT WORRY!

  1. Go to options and then status, and check IMEI number with decimals included.
  2. Find us your phone’s PRD number (on the back of the phone looks like PRD-XXXXX-XXX)

Please email us with the 2 items requested, we will respond ASAP.

If you can't find your PRD number, please contact us!

My Phone displays “MEP 0” What is this?

This means your phone is hardlocked and has no more attempts to Unlock your device. At this point there are no alternatives to unlock this device.


I can make Calls and Text but I’m not getting Internet Service.

In this case you will need to adjust what’s called the APN settings. The APN settings vary depending on the service provider you are trying to use. Please contact your service provider and they can assist you setting this up. There is no separate unlock for data or internet. If you can call or text, your phone’s network is fully unlocked. Also keep in mind, if your phone cannot use BBM, or other Blackberry services, Blackberry devices need a special “Blackberry Dataplan” which you can get from your service provider.

My Phone is asking for the “PUK” or “Security Pin” or “Password”

If your phone is asking for one of the above, it is the Simcard personal password or phone security password NOT the Network Lock which we provide for you. You can contact your service provider for this. Once you bypass this, you can use the Network Unlock Code provided by us.
