I successfully completed the T-mobile SIM unlock process that I started yesterday.
T-mobile sent the following instructions:
T-Mobile Sim Unlock Request
Sim Unlock Reference: xxxxxxxx
IMEI: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Unlock Code: xxxxxxxxThank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. Below you will see the Instructions for unlocking your Motorola device.
NOTE: Before you start you must have a foreign (non-T Mobile) sim card entered into the handset.
NOTE: If the phone displays, "Please wait to enter special code" or "Contact service provider," you will have to wait for it to change back. Please be aware that the phone must stay powered on to do this. If the battery is low, be sure to plug it in. It could take 15 minutes to an hour to change back. If the phone does not change back, the handset will need to be replaced.
If the display reads "Enter Special Code", enter the unlock code and press "OK"
If the display does not read "Enter Special code":
1. Press and hold the * key until an entry box is displayed, then let go
2. Enter *, #, 3, 2, # and press "OK"
3. Enter the unlock code and press "OK." The display should read "Completed" or
"Deleted"Thank You,

I dropped by Andrei's cube this morning and borrowed his AT&T card, popped it into my Motorola v60g phone and it said "Enter Subsidy Password." The above instructions were supposed to be specific to my phone model, but of course they didn't mention Subsidy Passwords at all.
Ignoring the instructions, I entered the 8-digit Unlock Code at the top of the message and hit OK. Worked like a charm! The phone displayed Andrei's phone number and the network carrier info indicated "AT&T Wireless."
Mission accomplished.
Beware! T-Mobile has restrictions for giving out unlock codes. I bought a T-Mobile tri-band pre-paid phone for an overseas trip. Here is what T-Mobile had to say:
"Unfortunately, we are unable to process your request at this time. The account must have been active for 90 days and a refill within the last 30 days."
I guess I'll have to pay for the code from a place like GSMLocker.com.
Posted by Paul at May 3, 2004 09:29 AMI have purchased a T Mobile Pocket PC phone. I need to unlock it, but don't have the code.
Can you help me?
Thank you,

Posted by dzwonki polifoniczne at May 21, 2004 12:13 PMMy dad's contract got expired and securing a new one would mean a new phone for him. Nonetheless, he sent his old phone to me(in the Philippines), thinking it can be used with a different sim card. since it was asking for a subsidy password, i tried guessing the code and eventually got it locked(telling me to contact my service provider). Now, i don't know what to do and have left the phone useless. what should i do? is there still a chance for this motorola t720i to be used? pls email me...thanks..

Posted by sounddog at November 14, 2004 09:50 AMUm... you ppl should just stop asking for unlocking codes... Its aboslutely pointless. People are not going to just give you a unlock code. Just phone around ur local cell phone stores and get them to unlock it. Stop being so cheap and pay like $12 to get it unlock.
