Like I said, it's illegal, and cB doesn't exactly support illegal actions...
But go to your local Chinese mall. You're bound to find something there =] It'll cost you around $20, more or less. But, like I said, we don't support illegal actions

IF your out of contract with Cingular THEN its not illegal since you own the phone at that point. if your still in contract with cingular on that phone it is illegal since Cingular still owns that phone and its violation of property when you unlock it. But i never seen anybody get arrested or charged with having their phone unlocked, Cingular doesnt have a way of knowing that your phone is unlocked unless you bring it in for repair and they check it. I'm not telling you to go get it unlocked just telling you wont get caught. BUT if you do dont take it out on me it was your decision. PS i work at my cousin's cellphone shop. |
