Unlocking Motorola Phones using IMEI #

I am a Cingular employee also. Actually, we aren't "Cingular" anymore, remember? LOL

What baffles me is T-Mobile wont give me a code for a Motorola C330 because I did not request it within 90 days of cancelling my account with them. What a crock! And, so I called Motorola, and guess what? They referred me back to T-Mobile. Them I emailed ERP within AT&T, and they couldn't help me either

My department within our company does not give us COU accts, we can only get ERP accts. If you work for AT&T, you know what I mean by those terms.

I even paid a 3rd party $ 15 for a subsidy unlock code, only to have them give a a bogus one!

So, I guess my only option is to buy a new phone at a generous 30% off full retail price(lol)

What dept within Cing/AT&T do you work for by chance? BRM? BEUC?

I want to have the CPF money that Blkbear has lol. WOW! Anyhow I too am curious about how the phone carriers come up with this number because my brother in law just did the same thing called sprint and they sent him an imei # and poof phone unlocked.

Interesting info.

Who at AT&T to contact to get an unlock code? Is this right: "Call AT&T's prepaid international support line at 1-866-265-4425"?

I got a new phone a few months ago and would like to unlock my old one for travel in Asia and for text messaging.

You have to be with At&t for a while in order for them to give you an unlock code....
