Hi, I come from South Africa, so I have no clue what the UK and USA's networks are like, but Cingular sound like a real bunch of idiots! (No offense to Cingular)

However, the website states this is only for active Cingular customers.

Let me just tell you what I've been through today on this subject. I'd love to hear any comments or input.
I recently purchased a Moto Razr V3. Before I did this I called Singular and asked them if the phone was unlocked. I told them my carrier was T-Mobile. They asured me it would be unlocked but I would of course have to pay the full price $600. I did and to my dismay it was indeed LOCKED.
I called the manager who suddenly played dumb and offered a full refund. I said I paid for the phone unlocked and thats what I expect. He said there was nothing he could do. For "Blank" & Giggles I called T-Mobile. Nothing they could do. I drove to a local cell shop that specializes in unlocking phones who said he has unlocked a number of the V3's already. Reasonable price too, $15 He was dumbfounded! He couldn't do it. He said it must be a new version or series. He said I would have to wait until new software was available.

In the middle of all this I begin to feel as if I am in a "Keystone Cops" movie.
So, I was honest, paid for the product and this is what I get. And the truth is I was truely considering moving over to Cingular once my contract was up. Not now!! I can't believe these idiots do business this way. Sorry but these Bozo's need to be regulated!!
I was busy updating my smart clip and happy to say that i can unlock a V3now . You can request unlock code from Tmo after 90 days of service and people bewear Cingular is starting to lock they new V3 and V551 and few other new model . Most of the store managers and saleman do not know about this stuff, and as far as unlocking service the samrt clip like i said was just release the new update on new year eve and so before that no other method for unlock V3 raz is avaliable. Victor MSS 4. is not capabale of this yet , but i could be wrong, but if you want to unlock it got to your local unlock service and ask about unlocking via samrt clip.

Anyone know of any shops in southern california, more specifically, los angeles that specialize in unlocking phones?
You said TMO will give/gave you the V3 unlock code after 90 days of service? Who exactly did you talk to and how do they have the codes. Do you have a phone number? (don't care what area code)
