Samsung sgh i897 newest firmware Unlocked! Also known as Samsung Galaxy S Captivate

I just Unlocked my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate (sgh -i897) locked to att and put my tmobile card in it. I did however pay 19.99 through paypal though, but it was well worth it, I used this site ----> I had the full link here but cause i am a new it wouldnt let me post it, go to fastgsm dot com ,watch the video, download the drivers (swallowtail- shrewsbury driver) let them install, then download there program and hook up the phone with the usb. Mine failed first time, but i didnt let the drives finish loading like the video says. second time it gave me the unfreezed code and unlock code :) 100% real guys I already wasted 20 bucks on other sites just for them to tell me there issueing a refund cause they cant generate a code. good luck guys!!!!!

The captivate is very easy to unlock for free guys. Flash to 2.1, root, install busybox and galaxy s unlock from the market and go through steps 1-3 on galaxy s unlock app. That's it. Very easy. I have done 3 or 4 captivates and vibrants so far.

Once unlocked it will stay unlocked no matter what you flash. You can re-lock it using the same app for warranty purpose if you wish.

If you're not an AT&T customer, they typically won't help you with unlock at all. Good luck.
Actually I am new to forums and my problem is I bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S i897 Captivate. I put a Sim for straight talk and it worked immediately, yaaaa, but I can't receive pictures in text, they won't download. My APNs says T-Mobile US 310 260. I am stuck, any ideas :(

How can it work perfectly?! I've been trying to re-unlock my i897 for a year. I get fed up and put it down for a month or two. This particular link has no instructions... It's like trying to pass a geometry test having no geometry classes. I un locked it once using SIMPLE instructions and I can't locate them again. They were on this forum.
