If you still have a US provider, they will also give you the code to unlock it yourself if you've been a long time user. AT&T has given me codes for several phones although not my Blackberry.
Thanks for the info Phil. As for the phone, good news. I found a web site, http://iunlockblackberry.com/contact-us through google, followed a couple of simple instructions and voila, phone unlocked, up and running.
