Just out of curiosity if you live in the US, Why would you want to unlock it? There is only one other GSM player here. And If you are putting it on an AT&T MVNO it really wouldn't need unlocked.

Is this what the screen is supposed to look like when your phone is unlocked? I bought my skyrocket off Craigslist and thought Id check to see if maybe it was unlocked and when I put in the *# sequence this is what the output is. Does this mean I can pop a T-Mobile SIM into it and Im good to go? Thanks
I just got this message after buying a code on cellunlockednow.com
"Hi,
Sorry I have been unable to generate the correct unlock code for your mobile. There are so many mobile out there sometimes the firmware on certain versions mean I can't generate the code.
I have sent your details over the accounts team who will send you a refund. Although normally quicker please allow up to 7 days for the refund to get back into your account.
Once again I apologise for not being able to get the correct code for your mobile. Your only option may be your network operator or a local shop who can unlock via a cable.
Thanks
Steve"
I guess ill have to buy it from another company, but make sure you don't use this one.

I unlocked my new Skyrocket tonight using above site. It only took 10 minutes. $25 using paypal. Only issue is the check to see if you have an unlocked phone, ie:
-----------------
How do I know my Phone's Network is Fully Unlocked?
Go to the dial screen on your phone, and press *#7465625#
A menu will be displayed that will resemble the following...
1. [ ] Network lock
2. [ ] Subset lock
3. [ ] SP lock
If everything if OFF, then your phone is fully unlocked.
-------------------
comes up with an error. They say that happens with some newer Samsung phones. I'd like to know if anyone has a better method. I'm pretty sure it's unlocked however as I did get the confirmation that it was unlocked when I put in the code they gave me after the phone asked for it when I put in a working Chinese SIM card and after locking I do see 2 bars out of 5 on the signal so I believe this tells me it's working.
So this actually worked?I just used this site on ebay and got my phone unlocked by myself in under 5 min for $17, no need to wait for these crappy companies to send me a code 24 hrs later. I HIGHLY recommend it.

You download a program and get a credit. It makes your network control key all zeros. Which unlocks your sim. And no the unlock is permanent and cannot be undone.Does it simply unlock the skyrocket, or does it give you the unlock code?
when you flash a new rom, does it wipe the unlock and have to be done again?
So this actually worked?

katchman unlocked my skyrocket. it involved installing teamviewer and tunneling usb port over it. once connected - it was pretty fast.
