Question: I’ve successfully unlocked the handset but cannot use BlackBerry Data/Web/Email services
Answer: You will need to contact your carrier and ensure you have a working BlackBerry Internet Service / Bolt on attached to your tariff and that the BlackBerry has registered on their network. This usually is an extra cost and gives you access to the BlackBerry data services. If you already have this service, ask your network to ensure the handset is properly registered and ask them to send the ‘Service Books’ to the handset which will update any settings you have in the handset. Most carriers have a dedicated BlackBerry support team.
Tip: The following procedure can sometimes kicks the network into action – Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > BlackBerry Logo Button > Register Now

The MEP Number on a Blackberry smartphone has been placed by the RIM (the factory) on the OS firmware of the phone in the engineering screens section. However the engineering screens menu is hidden and locked. There is a way to unlock it and open the engineering menu for viewing. You do this by generating a key (code) and entering this key into the HELP ME menu on the handset. No need for a cable or to download software.
We unlock most Blackberry phones without the MEP number. With just the IMEI and PRD. If the MEP is needed we will ask you to use the MEP Reader Tool and provide it.
