T720G

I recently purchased T720g which I thought would be unlocked. It's not.
Phone configured as Cingular, and my T-Mobile SIM obviously doesn't work.

After I turn the phone on (with the SIM installed) it's asking for a
"Subsidy Password". Does anyone know can give me this code.

Bear in mind I'm a complete novice in the "cellular world".

TIA for anyone's help.

You will probably have to pay someone to do it. Ive got a few att 720s that Ive
been trying to get unlocked for free but I keep running into brick walls.
Something about motorola taking down its server that has all the codes. Then
theres this thing about using the data cable and some special software and
needing to flash the phone first and blah, blah, blah, nothing. Good luck. If
you figure it out, let me know too!
