Unlock - Finally given up and got the code from IMEI CHECK for 40.44 USD

---

Seems I haven't got the luck, tried the tricks found in the forum with the AT&T customer services and finally the result is no good, they rejected me for various of excuses, Account not activated for 90 days, Model of the Phone is not supported to be unlocked, the unlock team is not available at the moment, phone imei number is not bind to the account, no international service package is added to the account ....

Decided to turn to IMEI CHECK today, dumped out the file and provided the IMEI number, paypaled $40.44 USD (:~( ... ) and emailed in the fax copy of my driver license(requested, no idea why need to do that) got the unlock code with in 5 minutes.

Jeez. Sorry dude.

Man I would've charged you 2 dollars and 13 cents to give you the unlock code!

That's insane!!! I paid won an ebay auction for $13.99 USD from www.cellunlock.net to have mine unlocked and received the code within 12 hours. They only needed the IMEI number of my phone...not sure why you had to pay so much and had to give them your drivers license.

dude... how is that may i ask?..

Probably just to cover themselves. There are a lot of stolen phones about. One shop over here wants photographic ID and proof of address, lol!!!
Wouldnt worry too much, have used IMEI Check in the past, good service and no problems here, although their not the cheapest on the market.....

Especially since the OP paid via Paypal. Now, they have an email address tied to a known valid paypal account and the OP's credentials (Name, address, etc.). Hopefully they won't be able to much with it. I'd still be wary though. To OP, definitely watch your paypal account for suspicious activities and other financial activities for a while. Don't want to mess with identity theft. It's a nightmare to get resolved.
EDIT: Well, silent_killa's dealings should help ease your feelings a little. Though, it wouldn't hurt just to be safe.

@KMFM$: Really well said. Dealing with paypal on most levels is frustrating and when it is about identity theft I've heard they can be really, really unfair.
He has great advice OP
