I brought my old Blackberry Bold 9900 to Mexico this year. My plan was to sell it here and switch to iPhones when I got back to Canada next spring. I decided against it, and instead found a site to unlock it so I can use it in Mexico. I found a site called freemyblackberry.com and gave it a try. My model was one of the lucky ones that could be unlocked free (in 48 hours) or if I wanted, I could pay a whopping $3.00 Cdn and unlock it immediately.
Because I'm retired and on a fixed income, I decided to try the free option. As promised, today my phone was unlocked, I installed my Mexican SIM card from my Motorola, and voila; my phone is unlocked. I now think I'll keep it as my permanent Mexican cell, and now have my Motorola as a spare for my daughter when she visits. In Mexico, you can purchase a new SIM card for about 200 pesos to activate your phone and get a 200 peso credit to boot. 200 pesos will give you about 200 text messages, free incoming calls, and for local calls about 2 pesos a minute. Almost free...
Not that many people have Blackberry's anymore, but still a very useful site if your phone is paid for and you travel to other countries. Now to re-program all my Mexican contacts into my BB....
