That's not Sprint firmware. Sprint firmware ends in SPNT or SPCS. I'm not sure what BMO is. Bell, maybe?
In any event, unlocking is for GSM phones, not CDMA.

BMO could mean Built My Own, and the thing has a custom rom in it. If it was "sent to someone to get it unlocked" seems like it would have gone back to "someone" I'd be a bit wary of this phone and hope you dont have much invested in it. It could be legit, or it could be lost or stolen. Depending on how you came into posession of it, you might be able to get it activated, but if it has bad numbers expect a bumpy ride from any carrier when you try to turn it on.

i think you might be right about BUILT MY OWN. There was a bunch of these phones sent to this guy and redid them all from what i was told.. I would i know for sure that i can take this to any cdma carrrier and it would work?? Or if it is only allowed to work with one??
