I bought my Audiovox SMT5600 a month before Cingular bought ATT and I
have all 3 of my phones on a family plan with ATT currently. My wife
wants a new phone and the only option Cingular is giving me is to throw
away all 3 of my phones(since they are locked for ATT) and buy 3 new
phones with Cingular so we can keep out family plan. It's either that
or have 2 separate plans (2 phones on ATT 1 phone on Cingular). What I
want to do is unlock my Nokia and Audiovox MST 5600 and buy by wife a
new phone then place the 2 unlocked phones on Cingular. Anyone know of
cheap places to get unlock codes or have any suggestions. Anyone had
any luck doing this?

I really hate the US for locking their phones and it really sucks that I
have to buy 3 new phones just to buy 1 and stay on the family plan.

You can google for Unlock Cell Phone and get scads of options. I used
UnlockItNow.com to unlock a T610 that was on a T-Mobile network so I could
swap a Cingular SIM in and out.

If you google for specifics, you will find some instructions for doing your
SMT5600 for free. Those are floating around. No guarantees on that. Haven't
tried it myself, but have had reports from some familiar to me that had
success.

I find it mind boggling that ATT and Cingular won't accommodate you. You are
after all just wanting to continue with their service. They don't make money
selling you new phones, though they would want to rope you into an
agreement. I'd consider going back in with some T-Mobile and Sprint
brochures sticking out of my shirt pocket and asking again about unlocking
my ATT phones.

P.S. The US isn't unique in locking phones BTW.

Here is a post on the Cingular site that talks about how to do it.

I have not tried this method but it sounds like it may work for free. There
are also places online you can get an unlock application for around 40
dollars.
