Unlock Phone for Use with Cingular

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.cingular (More info?)

A collegue gave me a T-Moble Motorola phone that he no longer uses. He
does not have an account with them any longer, and T-Mobile does not
offer service in my state. Customer Service just told me that if someone
with an account would call in with my number (ESIM or something like
that) that they would provide an unlock code over the phone. They were
quite helpful and indicated that doing so would not be a violation of
any of their terms of service.

Could someone who has a T-Mobile account email me privately, allow me to
give them this big number, and call T-Mobile to get them to email an
unlock code? That's asking a BIG favor, but all that it will cost you is
a little time. Thanks!
