Hi guys,
Can anyone know why I cannot unlock my AT&T blackberry 8800?

I bought three (3) AT&T Blackberry 8800's on eBay. I was hoping to unlock them all. To my surprise my unlock guy told me he cannot find the unlock code for any of the 3 phones on the server.

This never happened to me before? What are my options now? Can anyone be able to unlock these phones?

Thanks,
Jennifer

could be a few things; the unlock codes are derived by the imei. Sometimes cant get an unlock code from att if the unit was manufactured for tmo, for example.
If your devices are branded with the att or cingular logo, it could be that the units were originally test devices sent from rim to att. A quick way to tell is to look under the battery. If it says 'property of rim' or if the imei starts with '00' it was likely a test device and the imei combo will not yield an unlock code if youre going through att.
