Want to unlock your BlackBerry Storm?  Here's how to do it:

Where to find a code -  There are several sources on the web to purchase a code, some are cheaper than others and some deliver the code faster than others.  UnlockCellPhonecode.com will do both.  You can purchase a code from them here:  Verizon Blackberry Storm Unlock Code

The code costs $14.97 and is usually delivered in a few hours most cases but sometimes can take as long as 24 hours or more.  When you purchase from the website you're not emailed your code immediately, they need your IMEI # to generate the code.  What you receive after making the purchase is an email with a username and password along with a link to the UnlockCellPhoneCode.com IMEI server.  Use the credentials they supplied to login and submit your IMEI along with a couple other pieces of information (like your model, email address, etc).  This will begin the search for your code.  Once they find your code it's immediately emailed to you.

Now you have your code.  How do you enter it?

Entering your unlock code is easy, just follow these  steps:

You must have a SIM card in your phone to complete these steps, I have found that this procedure works best with an AT&T or Cingular Sim card in the phone (can be active or inactive ). Make sure the phone is not displaying the low battery warning!

1. Power on 
2. Go to settings 
3. Go to advanced options
4. Go to sim card
5. Type MEPD
6. Type MEP[Alt + 2] (all this with either a cingular or ATT SIM inside)
7. It will ask you for the unlock code. Enter it and your phone is unlocked!
