well if your iphone works with t-mobile then your iphone must have already been unlocked for gsm. your blackberry might not be unlocked. there are 2 ways i know to unlock the blackberry.. these methods work in the united states, btw. the long (in waiting) way: to unlock the bb, you need to have the phone longer than 90 days under your current mobile number/account. i assume you are part of a post-paid account. after that you can call t-mobile customer care and request the unlock code; they will take 1-2 days to respond. if approved t-mobile will e-mail you directions on how to unlock the device. they take a few days to approve the unlock code in order to make sure you're not abusing their service. the short (in waiting) way: to unlock the bb without dealing with t-mobile customer care, find an *authorized* dealer that will unlock your phone. they charge a fee ranging from $20-$50 u.s. dollars. authorized dealers are different because you might find 1 store that sells t-mobile, sprint, verizon, etc.. or you might find a t-mobile only authorized dealer. if you have any doubts ask the store if they are corporate or authorized. be firm in your request to only 'unlock' the device, many phone stores want to sell you services, phones, etc. good luck!

well if your using the t-moble sim card in your bb phone. disregard what the other person said about having it unlocked. it should be owrking if it is not working then you might not have serfvice where your at. only if your using a foreign sim card in that bb you should have it unlocked. i would call t-moible. the bb phone is mostly a world phone.
