been using this guys for years.

Lol I've been using him for awhile now too. I like how he usually has sales to unlock for like $2 sometimes. Plus if I do it before 10 pacific time I usually get the code before the day is over

Ok I got my unlocked code. Now the only sim card I have is the internation roaming one that came with my Tour from Telus.
Is this the sim card I put in before entering my unlock code? Or can I do it without the card?

Here's a question, I just ordered a new Bold, but I will be moving my old SIM card from my Curve 8300 into it, the Curve 8300 I had was unlocked about a year ago. Does the unlock proceedure unlock just the phone or does it have something to do with the SIM card too? Also, I've been with ATT for 2 years now, and plan to continue for the time being, but I DON'T plan on going out of the country, so I would feel wierd claiming I was just to get an unlock code, can't they just give you one just because you ask nicely for it?

good luck with that. i have asked att several times for my unlock code, and have told them i would be travelling outside the country and purchasing a prepaid sim and they absolutely refused to provide me an unlock code because i am still under contract. and it wasnt just one rep, it was several. I dont understand why it is such a big deal for att to give me this info. I have tried asking nicely for it and getting just downright pissed off... no go. hope you have better luck than me.

I ended up having to get a manger/supervisor on the line in order to get the unlock code for my old 8310 through AT&T, it wasn't a hassle with me... I just had to be transferred to someone who knew what I was talking about... this was over a year ago, so it may have changed a bit...

i understand your apprehension. as i understand it, they HAVE to give it to you... if they do not, then i would ask for the retention dept.

kay, ask to be transferred to the retention department. its odd, as impak said, i have never been refused an unlock code, ever... and i've unlocked every single BB i've owned.

So I guess the answer to my question would be, it is the phone that gets unlocked, not the SIM? I was curious because I will be moving my SIM card from the Curve to the Bold.

Update, I called AT&T this morning, asked for the unlock codes for my wife's phone as well as my own. The gentleman on the other end was very professional and accommadating. He asked if I was planning on going overseas. I told him that there was always that possibility but that a trip overseas was not imminent. So I did not lie. (Besides, I would love to go back to Europe again one of these days!) He said ok then, let me get the process started. I was put on hold for a very long time, but it wasn't a problem, he came back on a few times and apologized for how long it was taking, I kept telling not a problem, and being patient, and finally he came back online gave me the two codes, and I made a point of telling him thank you, and to let his manager know I was completely satisfied. I'm also in the customer technical support business, so this means a lot to them, with statistics etc. I put in the codes, both phones are now unlocked, and I am again a happy customer.
