Getting a Cingular or T-Mobile GSM World Phone Unlocked
Cingular and T-Mobile will often send you the unlock code to your locked world band GSM phone.
Send an e-mail to:
Cingular:
simunlockcode@cingular.com
T-Mobile:
simunlock@t-mobile.com
Include:
1. Phone number
2. Account number
3. IMEI number (inside the phone, you may have to pop out the battery)
4. Phone make and model
5. Reason for wanting the phone unlocked.
For a reason, just tell them that you are going to Asia or Europe for a month and that you want to use your phone with a prepaid SIM card over there. Telling them that you want to use it with a U.S. GSM carrier would not be a good reason!
It's unlikely that they will send you the unlock code for a North American model phone with only 850 Mhz and 1900 Mhz GSM. I guess you could claim that you are going to Canada for an extended visit and that you want to use a Canadian prepaid SIM card.
To the best of my knowledge, AT&T Wireless will NOT unlock their GSM world phones. If you are on AT&T GSM, and plan to buy prepaid SIM cards in a foreign country then you will need to purchase an unlocked GSM phone that will work at 900 Mhz and 1800 Mhz. Your AT&T SIM card will work in an unlocked GSM phone.
