If you were to call Rogers or Fido and ask them to unlock your phone they would charge you $250+ and would give you the same code unlockers do. There are alot of websites out there selling unlock codes, but if you need a professional unlocking website with fast turnaround time I would suggest http://www.cellunlock.net The only way to get your phone unlocked without voiding the warranty is by subsidy code.

You can pontentially damage your phone, if you do not get it professionally done. Basically if you take it somewhere else and they damage your phone, Rogers will not come and fix it for you. That is why I would suggest using only professional unlock solutions, like http://www.globalunlock.com They are saying that only to protect them self.

They'll give you the run-around. And even if you agree to pay the $250 charge that they want, you'll never get it. Before my recent trip to europe, i found this website based in Vancouver that was offering remote unlocking codes for my Blackberry Curve. The cost was $25, and I got my code delivered the same day. If you plan to stay in europe for more than 1 week, unlocking your phone would be the smart thing to do. I bought a sim card for 15 euros and it lasted me the whole trip. my friend who was travelling with me didn't unlock her phone, she kept the Rogers card and came home to a surprise of $300 in wireless roaming chargers. :) i highly recommend this place to get your phone unlocked: http://www.mobile-to-go.com Don’t bother trying to get Rogers to release the unlocking code to you..

1) If you use a HARD UNLOCKING service that requires a TESTPOINT or other method of unlocking your phone via a CABLE - this will void you warranty.

I use their Blackberry service (voice and data), which has good service but I find incredibly expensive when travelling: there doesn’t seem to be a good way to add US roaming onto my voice+data plan, and let’s not even talk about international.
