Long answer: The quad band capability has nothing to do with a locked phone. Locking a phone just means that only X brand of sim card will work in the phone, where an unlocked phone will take any sim card (t-mobile, cingular, at&t). And cingular has not PURCHASED at&t yet (it's not a merger, cingular is going to buy at&t), that probably won't happen until 4th quarter so they are far from being the same company yet.

A combined cell phone bill of $80 means an average of $40 per line.
There is very little option for a 1-month old phone getting upgraded.
HOWEVER, your mother's phone may be eligible for upgrade (if she kept her old phone when you got your new one). Perhaps she'd be willing to get an upgrade, and then the two of you could switch SIM cards and go.
