Unlocking the Treo 650 from Cingular

treo.jpgThis isn't a new unlock code, but I wanted to post up -why- people unlock phones. "So I'm off to Thailand for 2 weeks tomorrow (more on this later). Here's the code and a post from Rojo's Kevin Burton. "I wanted to unlock my phone so that I could buy a prepaid GSM SIM chip to use my phone in Thailand for cheap. The only problem is that stupid Cingular locks the phone but you can just buy a new SIM chip".

hey found this information, they unlock your treo and send it back to you same day and it's cheaper than any of the other places:

I received a TREO 650 as a gift from a friend with the CINGULAR logo on it as it turned out it is an AT&T unit but incompatible with Cingular SIM cards. I spent 4 hours with customer service and at this point I only want to be able to use it!
Can anyone help??
How do I unlock it??
