Generally Cell providers will unlock phones from their network, often for a fee, if the phone is out of contract (i.e. you have paid off its value over a period of time, often 2 years). Whether AT&T are "forced" to do this for you may depend upon the contract that you signed with them.

I bought the phones, and not from a phone company.  I have never actually had a contract with AT&T.  I had a contract with Cingular that expired long before AT&T took over.  It was cheaper to buy new phones than get a new contract, because the deal I have is no longer offered.

I'll try AT&T and see what happens.

Is there anyway to know if a phone is locked?  Does an AT&T logo at start necessarily mean it is locked?
