I would suggest u do a search before paying to unlock your phone. I have a few friends who found it on the net for free but other had to pay. I called T-mobile to unlock mine and they didn't give me any problems. I think Cingular too does it but u have to tell them you are traveling to Europe or somewhere for two to three weeks and wanted to use your phone with the european sim card coz it will cost less. Depending on your luck they might agree. nepalithito76 please tell me u r kidding. Unlocking u're phone isn't the users locking their phones so that other can't use it, it the service provider locking the phone so that u can't use your phone with other wireless service providers sim cards.
