Truth be told, Cingular gives you a run-around when you ask to unlock. They are simply cash hogs looking to make you use their overpriced service when overseas. I hate that. I went to www.gsmliberty.com and got mine unlocked. End of story. It's cheaper than paying their stupid fees.

I emailed Cingular at this address; icare3@cingular.com and had my
unlock code in about 5 working days.

I got the runaround from Cingular. When I asked for the unlock code,
they first made me add an "International" feature. So I did, then
called back, and they filled out some form for me over the phone and
said I would have my code in 5 days. Never came. I didn't bother
following up. I just said fucl< them and became a free agent. When my
2 yr contract (and that's too long) expires next November, I will not
renew. They will have to compete with everybody else as I am buying my
own phones outright, not from them. Any phone I buy has to be unlocked
or easily unlocked.

I know this is probably a silly question, but I don't know much
about cellular, so please bear with me.


How do I tell if my RazrV3 is locked or not? I bought it on the
upgrade program from Cingular, so I assume it is locked to their
service, but how do I tell for sure?

TIA,
mdh

I asked for the unlock, they said I would get it in five days. Then they
told me that I had supplied the wrong IMEI, which I hadn't supplied. I
corrected the one wrong digit, and I got my code a few days later.

Oh.
