Nokia 6620
Phone Locked to ATT SIM Cards
So I'm in Taipei. I put in a local SIM card and get this freakin invalid SIM card message and the phone won't boot.
ATT is working on me returning this phone and possibly cancelling my account before the 30 day period. Locking equipment people pay for and not disclosing it up front is pretty slimey. I guess they wanted me to find out after I used the phone here so they could charge me the outrageous per minte cost.
Anyone know how to remove this underhanded annoyance?

I don't know about in Taipei, but here in the US, all of the major carriers put carrier locks on their phones. Not a big deal in some instances since some technologies are completely incompatible anyway, but T-Mobile and AT&T both put carrier locks on all of their phones. I don't mean to be rude, but it appears to be pretty common knowledge among many people, especially people who plan on using another service with the phone than the one it was originally intended. Why else would one phone come out for AT&T, but not for Cingular or T-Mobile? Nokias are probably the easiest phones in the world to unlock, so I wouldn't return the phone, but just do a search for "Nokia unlock" or "DCT4 software" and use it to unlock the phone. It's easy so...

Also, the outrageous price on AT&T Wirelss (1.29/min) is better than Cingular (1.99/min) and T-Mobile (1.49/min.) Also, keep in mind, this is the USA, we offer cheaper phones, so we lock them.

Mujin, post your IMEI here (press *#06# on your phone to display it), we will see what we can do... I assume you bought your 6620 in the US, right?

I just got a new 6620 under AT&T but I want to use it for T-mobile. Can anyone help me out to unlock my phone. Any help would be appreciated.
