Tell customer service you want to the unlock code for your phone and give them the IMEI number you write down. The customer service rep has to fill out a request form. Once it is processed, they will e-mail you the unlock code with instructions on how to use it.

Step9
Upon restart, your G1 will recognize the new SIM card and prompt you to enter the unlock code that you received. Enter your unlock code.

thanks for share nice info

Does doing this resets the phone to factory settings? Thanks btw.

Hello, I was wondering, could someone do this for me? I don't have a T-mobile account so I can't unlock my G1, All and any help would be deeply appreciated

P.S: I'm unable to purchase the code, which is why I need someone to contact T-mobile and request the code for me using their account, I can give you my IMEI # if you can help.
