I have also unlocked my phone not knowing the steps to do it but would like to tell you that when you will be thinking to do it then make sure that you are having BlackBerry Data Plan (BIS) on your carrier account and also you should be having latest operating system installed on your phone, if you are not having it then just go to following link and install and to install it on phone then follow steps which are been given in Information on Blackberry Latest OS: 9810 7.0.0.2406/7.0.0.585, just follow same method just download setup file from below and also better have Desktop Manager, not having it then get from below.

If after about 15 minutes, you are not getting full caps EDGE which sticks to EDGE, then I would suggest that you better go to your BlackBerry then you go to Manage Connections in that go to Mobile Network Options then select it as Network Mode and change 3G & 2G to be 2G only and come out. Even you go to Options, Mobile Network then to Network Technology and change setting from 1XEV to GSM/UTMS. When you have done that then go to Manage Connections, Mobile Network and Uncheck your service, remain for it to show OFF in signal indicator area which is there at top of your screen. When you are done with all that return to the same Manage Connections, Mobile Network and Check your Mobile Network to be back enabled. You need to this same thing for 3-5 times. Once you have done it then give the device five minutes to gain EDGE, then also it is not coming then I would suggest that repeat steps from 3 till 9.

For T-mobile also you follow all the steps which are been given for AT&T, but use below attachment file for it, rest of things are same. When you reached TCP/APN then I would suggest that type APN as wap.voicestream.com or epc.tmobile.com and leave username and password blank. If it is not been working then do same thing which above user have told to do it, so you will be able to unlock phone and also you will be able to use it properly.
