where do i attain unlocking codes?
i have one with attws and i am migrating over to cingular so i want to use my cingular sim card with it. do i have to contact attws, cw, or nokia direct?
thanks so much for your help!
The reps dont even have the number or a way to attain it so they arent being mean.

They say the criteria for unlocking the phone through Cing there.
IT JUST BOILS DOWN TO THE COMPANY TRYING TO MAKE YOU BUY MORE EQUIPMENT AND KEEP YOU FROM CHANGING!
APPARENTLY THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE MEAN NOTHING TO CINGULAR!
APPARENTLY THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE MEAN NOTHING TO ATTWS AND CINGULAR!
IF CINGULAR UNLOCKS THEIR PHONES - WHY DO SO MANY COMPLAIN THEY CAN'T GET THEIR PHONES UNLOCKED BY CINGULAR?
IF CINGULAR WILLINGLY UNLOCKS PHONES - WHY ARE THEY BEING SUED ABOUT IT?
IT LEGALIZED MOB STYLE TATICS!
ATT on the other hand does NOT give out unlock codes EVER. I know this because I'm an ATT rep, and this is the question we answer most. We've even brought it to corporate offices and they do not under any circumstances provide lock codes. Not even if you bought your phone full price.
Nokia wouldn't help you either.. they'll tell you to contact us.
Going through google is the best way.
I've been told by other customers that there are indirect wireless stores that WILL unlock it, but they charge up to 35$ to get it done.
So yeah, I don't think it's right, but there's not even a way for us to look it up, or a department we can call. Sorry!
I MISPOKE
YOU CAN UNLOCK THE PHONE YOURSELF BUT YOU WILL NEED TO BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE WHAT IS NEEDED.
MOST OFTEN IT'S A CODE (CODE PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE NET) THAT YOU PUNCH IN! SOME PHONES REQUIRE A BIT MORE! RESEARCH YOUR PHONE!
REMEMBER THOUGH, IT'S YOUR PHONE AND YOU PAID FOR IT BUT NOW CINGULAR SAYS THAT DOESN'T MEAN JACK! YOUR PROPERTY IS NOT PROPERTY ACCORDING TO CING!
i just paid 5 bucks online at fones.ca for them to send me instructions and a code to unlock the 6820
i'll let you all know how it turned out doing business with them lol...
Regardless of who you are and work for - you have to see the infringement here!
Let us know how that company works out - it is a shame you have to turn to a canadian company for help!
