the unlock is easy to do if you get the code. I dont have the code. The phone is brand new from the tmobil store. I drove over to buffalo and picked it up for her. I have tried 3 websites that sell unlock codes but none of them have been able to get me a code. They say it is because it is a newer phone that it is not available yet and they dont know if it will ever be available.
Tmobile can do it right away, I spoke with the tech on the phone, however, they will not and can not do it unless I have a tmobile account. So they said that if I find a tmobile user then they can do it for me. I just need to give them my phones IMIE number and then thats it.
It is totally not illegal. There are no Canadian or American laws against this. That I know forsure! I just signed up with another company online in an attempt to get an unlock code.
Thanks for the replies, fingers crossed.

I guess I am confused (what's new?) You need a code from Tmobile because you are using a Tmobile phone on another provider's service? I guess I never realized that you could do that.

I am a rogers customer here in Canada. If you want to get a phone here in Canada, they trap you into a 3 year contract. If your phone breaks during that time, you have to buy a new one anyway or get a cheap refurbished unit for a fee. Then if you ever have issues, you cant just walk away.
So Rogers is on a GSM network. Therefore, I can use any phone compatible with the GSM network. These phones work on SIM cards. You put your SIM card into any phone and it will work. Now, companies lock the phone. Which means that they brand it so that the phone will only work with SIM cards for thier network. When you buy a phone from the company it will always be locked to them.
So T-mobile runs on the GSM network and is the same as Rogers here in Canada. All that you need to do is removed the t-mobile lock, and then the phone will work on any GSM network in the world. Pretty neat.
The best part is that I do not have to buy back into contract. I find going to the states for a phone save me about 300.00. I paid 200 for a brand new phone that would have cost me about 500 here.
I just happened to pick a phone that is next to impossible to find an unlock code for. it can be done, just hard to find.
Does this make sense?

Not sure, I'm calling Homeland Security just in case, don't try crossing the Peace Bridge again! :P
A friend started selling T-Mobile from his store. It had one dead spot in the metro area and that was about 1 mile wide and centered on his house ;D
