Correct. ATTWS policy was that we NEVER give out Unlock codes for ANY reason. Therefor no one (Not even TSD) has access to them 😁

Thats right no one had them, and thats for good reason, imagine someone selling those unlock codes, plus the company was avoiding big problems, cuz say we (attws) gave out the codes, and if you put it in wrong it permantly locked them, imagine how many customers would mistakenly do it wrong and bitch over it.

Thats why the ONLY people who got them in the manufacturers, and they are UNDER CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION to not release them.

🙂 Yuppers.

So what happened if I was an ATT customer at the time of the merger; would I have had to buy an entirely new phone?

yes you would. if you unlock the phone, there are a lot of things that won't quite work the way they're supposed to, it'll avoid a major headache down the line if you just go ahead and get a new phone.

I know it sounds harsh, but you can always ebay your AT&T device and then you can use that money to buy the cingular one 😁 There are a lot of people who love to have that phone on their AT&T service
