I just called T-Mobile and explained to them that I need the unlock code for both of my 8320's because I do work outside of the US and I want to use sim cards from those countries. They did not give me any problem and filled out the form while I was on the phone with them.

You can't unlock a CDMA phone this way. You can get into the programming menu by pressing ##xxxxxxx and talk, where xxxxxx is either six zeros or your six digit MSL/SPC depending on your provider, but I would HIGHLY recommend against doing anything in that menu without knowing EXACTLY what you are doing... your phone will cease to function properly if you mess anything up. Furthermore, your phone will only work on another CDMA provider and you'll have to get them to enter your ESN or MEID into their system, then you'll have to reprogram the phone with that provider's info. It's not easy, but if you must do it, there's a thread around here somewhere about getting the Storm to work on another CDMA provider. One more thing if you want to migrate your device to Sprint, you can forget about it, they flat out will NOT put another provider's device's ESN/MEID in their system.
I purchased an AT&T 8300 and went to GSM PhoneSource.com for the unlock code. He charges $19 USD and has the unlock code to you in a matter of hours. I have used his service on several occassions and he is very trustworthy and reliable.
When I received my unlock code, I powered up the Curve with NO SIM installed.
Cingular / AT&T Curve, 8300, 8800
Can be done without a sim card inserted
1. go to settings
2 go to options
3. go to advanced options
4. go to sim card
5. Hold the ALT Key while typing in MEPE ( not case sensitive ) ( you will not see text appear on screen while typing )
6. It will say "Enter Network MEP Code, then you type in the unlock code, press in the trackball to confirm
7. Your phone is now unlocked
Hope this helps

I just called my provider (T-Mobile) and they gave me the steps and code to unlock but be aware that when you're in an area your provider has no service, your phone is roaming the whole time it's on! They told me to turn the ph off when not in use when in a roaming area to avoid charges...which defeats the purpose of having a phone! Guess I won't unlock it.
Or the codes that your all talking about only for Cingular /AT&T? I know someone that can do it for me but if it takes him longer than an hour he will charge me, i'd rather just do it myself if its not that complicated! i have read some of the other postings about this but not that great with the technical stuff, but I'm not totally illiterate on computers! Thank you to whoever responds!!

This will only work for GSM 8300/8310/8320 models, all CDMA (Sprint, Verizon, etc.) 8330s cannot be unlocked in the same fashon, there is a method, but it will only allow you to use it on another CDMA carrier and then, only if they'll add the phone's ESN to their system to allow activation.
