Sim Unlock

I Pm'd him and got a response.
He got "no" from AT&T a couple times then got the 'issue' escalated, argued for a bit, and then they gave him the unlock code.
So there might be a few people that can get the unlock doing the same thing, but its not going to work for the majority of people =\
If enough people can get the unlock codes, a generator might be able to be made though.
This is the main take away for me .. They've got the codes, and it's now about convincing them to hand it over.
ive been reading the posts and decided to call ATT back again. i was told i had to wait 90 days.. i called 2 more times and was told the same thing. they also put notes on my account. one guy gave me the skinny on time frame and getting codes. they have a checklist to go through. for example, are you in a contract, how long, do you have a late payment due, ect, ect... he told me since ive been a customer for 10+ years, he jumped to the end of the list requirements and it states FCC rule of 90 days.. he documented my phone sale of july 28, and told me to call back on october 29 and they would give me the unlock code. he told me to use my old phone when i travel. he said make sure not to change the imei # they have on my account or the 90 days will reset. he said if i buy another phone in the mean time, do not put it on my account or i will lose the days from my captivate. sounds like if some people got the code from att, the rep was not suppose to get it... anyway, i will suffer for 3 months and use my unlocked htc when i go overseas. hopefully someone will come up with a way to unlock before then!!
I can confirm that I too was told that I had to wait 90 days. Even upon multiple escalations, I was told that either I wait or I have the option of returning the phone and cancelling my contract. I've been a Business Account holder with AT&T for the past 6 years with my account in good standing.
Have no idea what to do: to buy captivate when I am in USA from 5th august until the end of summer (and use it until summer with AT&T and waiting for unlock) or to buy this damn Samsung Galaxy S here in London but I hate the design 
brrr, my last day in London, today I may decide to buy Galaxy S here or but Captivate in USA and wait for unlock which can not to come
Hey, guys, do you know if it is possible to unlock Captivate if, for example, I am already in Russia, not in the USA? if 3rd party unlock comes out (and, well, for example, if I have an AT&T sim card in roaming)
I called in again today, and this time took it to the stage where I have a case number, but was told in no uncertain terms there is no Location I-9 (or if there was, it's somewhere near Roswell, New Mexico), and no department to escalate this too. They couldn't even find any reference to the fax number in Giz's instructions.
I'll wait for the "sorry, talk to us in 10 months" email, and see if having a case number in the system helps. I suspect that if I just send a fax out at this point, nothing will happen.

I followed giz's instructions and sent a fax and it did go somewhere (Rosewell, New Mexico perhaps). Haven't heard anything yet, but maybe because it's the weekend. No harm in trying it.
Just got an email after opening a case with the device unlock group.

This is BS... Giz over here, isnt even an ATT customer and he gets a code, I sign up for 2 year contract and they wont unlock me?
I guess i'll just have to harass them on their customer service line...

AMAZING!
Guys, do you remember "unlockitnow.com?"
Remember how they told me and one another member that they'll be shipping usb / software to unlock the phone?
Guess what? It arrives today. At first I open the envelope and thought it's a joke, since the cd slot is empty. Instead! There comes a sim thinggy.
1. Align the unlock SIM with the SIM card you will be using.
2. Insert the aligned SIMs in your cell phone SIM compartment.
3. Switch cell phone on and it is ready for use.
I used a tmobile sim along with that unlock SIM and it works perfectly!
So, make an order with unlockitnow.com and they'll offer you the "usb + software", confirm your imei and say yes and wait for 7-20 days for it to arrive. I ordered it on 7/23 and it arrived today!

So it's basically one of those "TurboSIM" thingies? You must ALWAYS use the unlock SIM with your SIM? Or is it a one-time-use and it unocks it, unlock-SIM-not-needed-again?

When he said that, he meant that the code was close to the IMEI on the email, as in one set of numbers ran into another set of numbers, not that they were similar.
