Granted, I’m still under contract with Cingular but I’ve finally gotten around to SIM unlocking the SMT5600. There’s this nice little zip file on the forums, smt5600_unlock.zip, which lets you unblock the SIM lock on the phone. You need to have ActiveSync installed and then you have to run the app provided, restart the phone, and that’s pretty much it.

To test I popped in Jon’s Rogers SIM card from Canada and it connected to T-Mobile here just fine. Thank you to whoever first figured out how to unlock this thing and thank you MSN Search and Google for leading me to it and not forking over 20 quid to unlock it from one of those UK sites.
