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.

very belatedly, because i was traveling back from europe--tmobile will give you an unlock code in less than 90 days if you call them and tell them you'll be traveling abroad. i got mine in 45-60 days (then didn't use it, but that's a different story to do with the high rate of pickpocekts in madrid in relation to the tightness of the jeans style over there in relation to the size of a pda phone...)
