and take it to Argentina and I'm wondering if it is unlocked. A co-worker is getting the new Bold.
TIA!

look at a sim card overlay that fools the phone into thinking that you're using original provider's sim.

here's a site, know nothing about them, but I'm sure you can even get it done locally somewhere. I've seen lots of people advertising in my town.

I'd also heard that sometimes you can pay a fee to the provider (Rogers) and they'd unlock it, but it wouldn't be anywhere near as cheap as getting it done at a shop.<ul><li><a href="http://www.globalunlock.com/phones/public/cart/buynow/2248">Seems simple - They're BBB members too!</a></li></ul>

Some are known to permanently damage (brick) spme phones. Better off getting the firmware reflashed. There are plenty of DIY sites that can point you in the right direction as far as executables go, amd model specific walkthroughs on youtube. If you're techno impared, look up one of the local indie cell shops on howardforums.com and pay to have it done. You're looking at about $30ish.
