Unlocking means you will not be locked to your current provider, meaning you
will be able to use that cell on, let's say a competators network, or even
over-seas since it is a quadband cell. If you plan to just use it with the
provider you bought it from, there is little point getting it unlocked.
Which provider do you use? I would think the V220 didn't come locked in the
first place.

600.org says the domain is for sale... Doesn't seem to be much there
unless I'm missing it :-)
