Question on location while unlocking ATT Tilt

[dumpala]

Hi,

I am just new here, and I am so glad that I found this forum.

I might sound stupid, but just wanted to check if I can get some help on the dilemma I am facing. My dad just bought ATT Tilt as a gift for me. I live in India so I need to be able to unlock it so that I can use it with the local service provider. I was thinking of buying an unlock code based on the IMEI.My question is should I be physically present in US to be able to unlock it this way?

Thanks,
Stevens

I don't think it matters where you are calling from. The important thing is to call the ATT customer care and tell them your dilemma. And depending upon the person that you speak, they may give you the unlock code over the phone.

If you call and do not get a favorable reply, hang up and keep trying. Eventually, you'll run into someone that will help you.

When you insert a foreign SIM, it i will ask for a code and all you have to do is punch it in...won't matter where you are.
