Before you head off anywhere it is a smart move to get a Blackberry Bold unlock code for your phone. This is because you can free it from the original network for free and in a simple process. All you need to do is get your free code online and then power up the phone with no SIM card (or an invalid one) in it. You will then be prompted for the Blackberry unlock code.
This will only take a few minutes and involves no technical expertise at all. So with this out of the way what else do you need to think about before heading off into the sunset?
Take the Charger
This might sound really obvious but every year lots of people go abroad and forget to take their phone charger with them. The Blackberry Bold has an excellent battery life but even it can only last so long with a bit of power. There is really little point having a fantastic Blackberry Bold unlocked and in your pocket if it is switched off. Remember that some countries use different types of wall sockets too, so you might need to buy an adaptor. These are cheap and easy to buy, with airports generally selling a few different types.
Update the Contacts
Now that you have your Blackberry Bold unlocked it is important that you can phone people when you are away. If you used to avoiding using the phone abroad because of high roaming charges this might be a new concept to you. The use of the Blackberry Bold unlock code before you travel means that you can insert a local SIM code so you should make sure that your list of contacts is up to date so you can give them a call. It is one thing not knowing someone’s number when you are at home and have other ways of contacting them but when you are far from home this can be a lot more troublesome.
Load It Up
What do you need on your phone when you go away? Many people travel with games, music or photos on their phones to keep them entertained during the journey. It is certainly a good idea to load up your Blackberry Bold unlocked device with as much entertainment as you might need. Airports can be terribly boring places and even when you are in your hotel at night you might find that you need a bit of music or some games to help you pass a few hours. Of course, as you are on a local network you might also think about making some calls. Just be sure to check the time difference first, as you wouldn’t be the first person to wake up someone with a phone call at the wrong time of day (or night) when abroad.
