So after waiting a good 4 months from when I got my first mpx220, I figured time to try again...

So I went into the local store, they had one left in the back in a box. There was a sticker on the box dated 1/4/05 so Im guessing either that was when it was made or shipped to the store.

It has ver. 1.3 on it.

Took it home and just for fun tried to pop my tmobile sim into it. Came right up, registerd on the network and everything....

thats odd because most of the peeps who I've talked to have all gotten locked phones (including myself) from Cingular.

oh well, no biggie cuz Cingular gave me my unlocking code so its all good.

ozziegn,

hello, just got my phone from cingular and i believe its locked, i haven't done anything to prove it yet but my guess is, its unlocked, i've read threads here that i just go to [email protected], i can get the code, but everytime i do that it just go to the cingular homepage and there's no simunlock option there anywhere.

i called up their toll free number and they told me that they don't have any unlocking codes with them. I really need to have my phone unlock because i'll be making a trip to Asia and I dont wantm to apply roaming.

Per an email I received from Cingular last week:

Good morning/afternoon:

The Cingular Wireless SIM Unlock Group appreciates the opportunity to assist you with your request and we strive to respond in a timely manner.
