Unlocked phones

I bought my Audiovox SMT5600 a month before Cingular bought ATT and I
have all 3 of my phones on a family plan with ATT currently. My wife
wants a new phone and the only option Cingular is giving me is to throw
away all 3 of my phones(since they are locked for ATT) and buy 3 new
phones with Cingular so we can keep out family plan. It's either that
or have 2 separate plans (2 phones on ATT 1 phone on Cingular). What I
want to do is unlock my Nokia and Audiovox MST 5600 and buy by wife a
new phone then place the 2 unlocked phones on Cingular. Anyone know of
cheap places to get unlock codes or have any suggestions. Anyone had
any luck doing this?

I really hate the US for locking their phones and it really sucks that I
have to buy 3 new phones just to buy 1 and stay on the family plan.

No, it isn't, but it seems to me that it's more popular here to contract
service and receive locked phones. Most of my friends in Europe pay up
the ying yang for the phones, but they don't have the commitments that
we have here.

I didn't say they weren't available, I was trying to point out that the
no-contract option is more readily available in other parts of the world
than in the United States.

Unlocked Ericson R380 works swell with Cingular but it costs $80.

Google is your friend.

I just found all the information I needed last night to unlock my AT&T
Audiovox SMT5600 for free in the comfort of my own home. Search for
"Audiovox SMT5600 unlock software" and poke around. I didn't bookmark the
sites with the information since I unlocked the phone and it works fine. I
tested it with a TMobile SIM I have and it connected right up. Ditto for
Nokia phones. Search Google and you should find severeal sites that will
either calculate the unlock code for you or provide a link to download
software that will do it for you. Good luck.

My MPX200 kinda died....I thought it was My ATT sim...went to a cingular
store that had ATT sims found out it wasnt the sim but the phone...so I got
a new ATT sim free and bought a new MPX200 unlocked on ebay for $80 and
upgraded the ROM to 2003...(which I found on the net for free!!!) ALL is
good!!!
