I take it the phone worked prior to the unlocking?
Are there any items enabled when you go to Options>Advanced Options>SIM Card and type (whilst holding alt) mepd ?

Thnks for your reply Sytner.
I don't know if it worked previously as it was given to me.
If I use the MEPD says everything is disabled.
Hope this helps.

Does the device has any sort of operator branding on it? If it does would there be a chance that you could get a sim for that operator and try that?

It was originally T-Mobile (UK) and that's confirmed by the splash screen.

Service books won't matter trying to make a call. Even with no service books an unlocked BB should get voice and SMS, right?

Can you try a T-Mo SIM in the device and see if that works?
Yes an unlocked BlackBerry should make and receive calls regardless of wether they have a data plan or any service books.
