how do i unlock a bell cell phone??

hi guys,

i have a BB storm 9530 that is locked to bell. i want to unlock it so it easier to sell to the public. how do i go about doing this, bell wants to charge me big money to do it...

also if any one is interested in buying it let me know i have pics and whats not. the phone is in great shape.
thanks guys

If its not GSM and does not use chip i dont think you can unlock it but i can be wrong. Usually cell phone repair stores will do it.

it might actually be worth the $25-75 to get someone else to do it

check the crackberry forums, google..

Usually its as easy as telling your carrier you want to use it in another country.

Good luck

There are usually lots of people, on kijiji , that will do it.
Did you try selling it as is? I know what you are saying about being easier to sell but there are plenty of people that don't really care if it's unlocked and are happy to use Bell.

^I have had a Blackberry, from work, for 5 years but after playing with my kids' iPod Touch (with wi-fi and BT) that Santa got them for Christmas, I now wish I had an iPhone too! They are endless fun.
