Quickest way .. find a dealer in your area that unlocks or find a place online that unlocks. Each phone has a different code depending on your IMEI (serial nbr). No one can just tell you a code ... they have to know the IMEI and stuff. You may be able to find someone on here who is in a good mood and will let ya email them your IMEI or something and do it for ya. NOW, if you already knew all of this, my bad...I wasn't sure if you didn't know this stuff or if you knew it and was just looking for someone on here who will do it for you. A lot of people don't realize it depends on the IMEI, and I wasn't sure if you fell in that category. 🙂

sevral diff ways to get sim unlock codes, to due it freely, try to contact serv provider (CINGULAR) , or go to google.com and type "moto v300 sim unlock" this should pull lots of websites up for you, some will ask for cash, but if you find a WAREZ site (hacker site) they will usaully decode IMEI for free (IMEI and code is diff for every phone)
PS if you try code to many times will permantly disable phone

Okay, obviously the last twenty times this was answered for you don't seem to have taken effect. Let me try it one last time.

T-Mobile will unlock phones FOR ITS OWN CUSTOMERS, if the customer meets certain criteria. The account has to be at least 90 days since activation, an active account or within 90 days since cancellation, not delinquent in payment or in collection treatment. Only the responsible billing party or authorized user named in the account can request a SIM subsidy unlock. We will unlock one handset per line per 90 day time period. We will not unlock handsets for people who are not our customers. Period. If a TMobile customer has bought a locked, non-TMobile handset to use on their new TMobile account, they will have ...

I tried T-Mobile, they said to try cingular. I call cingular 5 times with 5 story's about why I need my phone unlocked. And they said call Sony Ericsson. I called Sony Ericsson and they said call cingular. The only thing I learned is that if you press < * * < you get to some unlock screen. I just want that NCK unlock code.

NOW CAN ANYONE HELP ME GET THAT CODE!!

First of all, a T-Mobile rep is not going to have the unlock code for your phone. Try re-posting on the Cingular forum. If you get someone really nice, who's in a really good mood and doesn't mind losing their job working for Cingular (or who doesn't realize that they'll be fired if they get caught), then you might be able to get the unlock codes from them. Otherwise, you'll have to hack your phone because CINGULAR ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT EVER GIVE THEIR UNLOCK CODES OUT (EVER)! There are sites online that will do this remotely for you. Also, you may find a dealer that does this (my company does - but you're probably not anywhere near us).

Ok...just some clarification:
Policy states "One unlock code per ACTIVE line per 90 days of service"

So, 1. weather it's within 90 days of cancellation or 900 days-doesn't matter. Line has to be active.

2. the account has to have 90 days or more since activation

3. It's NOT law unless in the state of california that if someone purchases a phone outright at full retil price that they be given the unlock code. The law also states that the customer must request that code at the point of sale, and it will not be given unless the selling retail sales rep submits the request before the customer leaves.

4. Our customers that meet the "90" day rule most certainly ask for an unlock code for either their T-Mobile phone or another carriers...
