Unlock I was just given a 8330 blackberry curv smartphone, can this be unlocked to use my t-mobile. I do not care about connecting to the internet or anything fancy. I just want to use it for my incoming, outgoing and sending and receiving test. I don't want the other features right now due to the cost. Can this be done? Thanks for your help

NETWORK UNLOCK CODE:
You can unlock it by flashing your mobile if your mobile is a CDMA mobile...
The procedure for flashing your mobile is in the link below

It has an video explanation.
If your mobile is not an CDMA mobile , you can get the network unlock code(NUC) by just contacting the current network provider customer caredepartment.It is free of cost.
Therestrictioncodecan be got from your old service provider..This restriction code iskeptto prevent someone who stole themobile from using it withanotherprovider...
They will have a security check done with your date of birth etc..to verify whether you are the exact owner of the phone..
After that they will provide you the restriction code to unlock it and use it with another service provider..
