How to unlock a t mobile phone?

I am being pressured right now to unlock a t mobile phone. Basically my uncle is giving my mother who has att/cingular a t mobile phone to use. We need to unlock it first. I am a ludite. I just need help as I have no idea what I am doing

Answer:

You need to get a SIM subsidy unlock codeif any of you have a T-Mobile account, T-Mobile will give you the unlock code for free. In addition to your account information you'll need to give them the IMEI (serial code) of that particular phone. You get that by dialing *#06# (star pound zero six pound.) This does not apply if it's a Sidekick cause T-Mobile won't unlock those.
When you have any sort of phone, from any provider/carrier, you need to contact the company and let them know what kind of phone you are using. This then goes onto record, even though you didn't purchase the phone from the company (you got it from your uncle). There is usually a set fee (for rogers it's 20-25$) and the phone will be unlocked. Contact the service provider and they will help you unlock your phone.
