Hello everyone
I think we all have had these same problems, a question is asked
and many people want to answer, but they either assume that you are
a techie or they are just lazy. Please when giving an anser give a full
discription. this can be said of those asking a question, tell everything!!!!!
I just received a Blackberry 8700c. cingular network.
We give these to service men in combate, so I bought the unlock code
and followed the instructions. "nothing" I did searches incase the instructions
had been wrong of misleading, slightly different wording.
after I tried the the unlock, the cingular and tmobile sim is not reconized
I finally did a wipe of the device, the person who donated it had left the
keyboard locked, but left all her contacts on it blackberry, which I deleted
then wiped the device. I restart the blackberry and still get the notice
insert sim or sim not reconized. Can anyone give me more help then
I have gotten. I have sent an email back to the company I received the\
unlock code from, I double checked the ime code to make sure its the
one I gave them.
If anyone happens to be from the Los Angeles area, southbay
who could help, other wise this forum is very cool
best

Welcome to the forums.

I am not sure of the steps that you've tried already but try taking a look at the FAQ and see if it helps.

And, please, a half effort to spell your words correctly, with at least some first grade resemblance to punctuation, is also appreciated.
