Getting a Blackberry Tour Unlocked on Sprint

This is a free service. All you need to do is be able to prove you own the account (i.e. remember your PIN number or secret question).

Step 1: Call the Sprint International Desk at (817) 698-4199 and select option 3 to get a real live person.

Step 2: Tell them your Sprint phone number (the one that goes to your Tour) and answer any verification questions.

Step 3:  They should now give you your unlock code. To unlock your phone all you need to do is.

1. Options -> Advanced -> SIM Card
2. Type 'mepdmep2' (a dialog should pop up)
3. Enter your unlock code
4. Reset your phone by pulling the battery

That's it! Kudos to Sprint for making this so easy, if a little hard to discover.

Tethering on Blackberry Tour (9360) on Sprint on Windows

1. Pair the Blackberry and your computer (should be self explanatory)
2. When setting up the connection enter "#777" for the phone number
3. Leave the username and password blank
4. Click "Dial" to start the connection

Note that despite the fact that this is listed as a "Dial Up Connection" its really just using the phone as a Bluetooth Modem like it should.
