Thats only the main reason why your phone cant be activated..

Im using my BIS with Celcom now. Next month will go back to Egypt continuing study. And i will be using another telco Etisalat Egypt. When i put on the Etisalat sim on my Bb and activated the bis for Etisalat, do i will be having any problem regarding the pin or anything?

Nope you wont. As long the sim support BIS.. Most BlackBerry can use in most countries.. PIN is follow your phone not SIM..

Disable means locked?? I thought all entries should be disabled on that screen which means the phone is fully unlocked right? Sorry if I misunderstood what you meant. Thx

Yes you are fully correct.. To Check Your Device Locked or Unlocked:
Check this out..

Go to: Options > Advanced Options > SIM CARD > Type: MEPD


Device Locked by Provider



Device Fully Unlocked

Hi again, I would like to clarify.. Coz just now i contacted Celcom and they said when i type MEPD and the network is INACTIVE, means my phone cannot use. it's locked. if only it is DISABLE, then only can use.

1. Go to the menu on your blackberry (just press the button with the symbol of the blackberry)

2. Go to settings

3. Then go to options

4. Choose Advanced options

5. Choose sim card

6. Type MEPD

7. Will be a lot of options, like SIM, Network, Network Subset, Service Provider, and corporate. There will be information, enable or disable

8. If the description show Enable more than disabled, it can be said if your blackberry is still locked by a particular operator

9. If the status is disabled, then you’ve unlocked blackberry

just like i'd shown u last time, celcom cust. service said my phone is locked. should be disable everything. is it true? means my current phone is locked?

Yes I just double check.. Your phone is locked by original Telco/Provider

What you mean by original Telco/Provider? and is there anyway i can unlock this phone?

Original Telco menas local original set.. As I know only its original Telco can unlocked your phone.. But you can try google around they might be ways to solve your problem..

Go to: Options > Advanced Options > SIM CARD > Type: MEPD

Do i need to insert the simcard first?

Nope it wont re-format your meida card.. Dont worry..

ermm.. cant understand.. actually,i want to buy blackberry from someone.. i need to test it first to determine it is unlock/locked device, so do i need to put a sim card to test the locked/unlock device? i afraid if i not insert the sim card, it wont appeard..

Refer post #147 then you will know it is a lock and unlocked set.. SIM Card is there or not also no problem..

Most of the BlackBerry dosent have receipt because the bought from Telco.. Receipt only provided if they bought AP Set from dealer/shops..

hi, i just checked vendor id for my phone is vodafone UK, does this means, my phone is locked by vodafone? I'm not sure though, coz the seller last time using digi and said he's using fine. should i go check with digi?

If your vendor is Vodafone then should be lock by them.. Just double check with your previous seller make him/her released the PIN that he/she used before.. If you go yourself to DiGi I worried they might not entertained you. Better go with your previous seller..

bro, wanna ask something regarding this method. if nothing happen, is there anything wrong with my device?

good info bro
can i know if my blackberry is 1st or 2nd hand, since i just discovered the buyr method, after use it for few weeks
thanks
