How to Buy an Unlocked Blackberry Online
Cell phones come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. However, not all shapes and sizes are released for all wireless providers. Some cell phones are released for some companies, while not for others. This can be frustrating, especially when a phone for a different provider is not available through yours, and switching providers just for the phone will result in a hefty cancellation fee. Instead, cell phones like the BlackBerry, which is a popular PDA, can be unlocked. An unlocked cell phone will make it available for all service providers.

Visit one of the multiple links provided in "Resources." Unlocked BlackBerries are extremely difficult to find in stores. This is because they are no longer made just for one particular provider. Unless you live in a large city with stores that specially provide this service, the best place to purchase an unlocked BlackBerry will be online.

Insert your sim card from your previous phone into the BlackBerry. Doing this will transfer your compatible data (such as your personal number, as well as your contacts) into the BlackBerry. It will also activate the phone with your number. You will probably need to do this yourself, because many stores will not help you activate an unlocked cell phone.
