Quick question: AT&T Wireless SIM unlocking.

[randomness]

I have heard that AT&T Wireless is particularly uncooperative about unlocking handsets. For that reason, I'm considering T-Mobile instead. (I want a quad-band GSM phone, and I think those two carriers are my options around here, here being Connecticut.)

T-Mobile's policy is that they'll give you an unlock code after 90 days, which for my purposes is sufficient.

Am I wrong about this? AT&T Wireless's site is not being particularly helpful here.

Thanks, all.

That's great! A couple years ago I was informed that they were quite anti-unlock. Also, I'm fairly certain they will not offer to unlock an iPhone for you, no matter what you say. (of course, you can do that yourself, if it's a first-gen model.)

It's one of the reasons I'm on T-Mobile right now. At the time they seemed much more customer-friendly.
