The independent cell phone store on 17th Street NW, across the street from National Geographic, can unlock phones and is generally knowledgeable. However, they sell the To-Go SIM for a lot more $. They quoted me $30 for "activation" and I told them that the T-Mobile website was offering free activation. They said they can't compete with that. So no sale. I recall reading that after you have owned a phone for some length of time they are required to unlock it for you. Worth checking out. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
