Have you tried galaxy_s unlock app by helroz in the market? Pretty simple app and straight forward. Their are also some other way you can try searching. If you do the helroz app install busy box first you can download it from the market also.

Edit:
Simple guide to unlock phone

1. Root phone (use super one click or custom roms that's pre rooted you can skip this 1 step)
2. Download galaxy_s unlock by helroz from the market (you can use either attachments or download from the market)
3. Download busybox from market run app and install
4. Run galaxy_s unlock app
5. To confirm lock status from dialer dial *#7465625# it should show network lock off in status.

yep. with that app i keep getting "fffffff" as my unlock code

did you try to see if you are already unlock? try typing *#7465625# in your dial pad if you see network status lock off then you are already unlock. those app permanently change the code inside your phone it will not give you a number to unlock your phone. just simply pop another sim card in there and if it will not ask a code # to unlock your phone then it's working.

it says ON

I just downloaded the app and ran it for the hell of it, I got the fffffff code too, but I continued step 1 and step 2... It automatically rebooted and am now unlocked. Give that a shot.

I don't know if what you used is the galaxy_s unlock app by helroz because it doesn't generate a code for you to used. I have used sgs unlock before using the galaxy_s unlock app which has given me the "ffffffff" code you just said. anyway that's all I can share for now hope you can troubleshoot it.

with the rogers captivates the "code" is not stored in the phone. only method 2 works.
or call and get the real code.

did you buy a i896 off ebay by chance?
