I'm assuming the phones are locked as they were purchased new from AT&T. I presume that they can be unlocked based on the number of unlocking sites that come up with a Google search, although they have different solutions. One company says just send money and they'll send an unlock code, while the other says the phone must be sent to them for it to be unlocked. The problem is, how does one know whether the service is legitimate/reliable? I don't recognize any of the names (http://www.gsm-software.com/unlock/unlocksiemens.html , http://thetravelinsider.info/roadwarriorcontent/siemensunlocking.htm ).
Any suggestions on where to go or who to use? I am in the DC area so a bricks and mortar shop would be preferred. I've never gone through the unlocking process so am unfamiliar with how it is normally done. I do like the idea of T-Mobile's $7 SIM (or similar), once the phone is unlocked.
