This means your phone is hardlocked and has no more attempts to Unlock your device. At this point there are no alternatives to unlock this device.
I can make Calls and Text but I'm not getting Internet Service.
In this case you will need to adjust what's called the APN settings. The APN settings vary depending on the service provider you are trying to use. Please contact your service provider and they can assist you setting this up. There is no separate unlock for data or internet. If you can call or text, your phone's network is fully unlocked. Also keep in mind, if your phone cannot use BBM, or other Blackberry services, Black devices need a special "Blackberry Dataplan" which you can get from your service provider
My Phone is asking for the "PUK" or "Security Pin" or "Password"
