Default Hacking a motorola phone.....

Hey guys I'm wondering if someone could help me out
on hacking the new motorola v557 so I can use my old
at&t sim card....I'm asking cause cingular has shitty plans
and I dont want to switch over just to use that phone.
An advice?

Im pretty sure it takes the sim in the back, but I had another phone a samsung that I had to hack in
order to use the att sim card, before I did it to that phone it just said wrong sim card. But I just
wanting to make sure that I can do it to this phone as well before I buy it.

I have the v551. The only way to unlock it is with a smartclip (costs around 300 bux) so i sent mine off to an ebay company. they did it for cheap and were quite fast about it

edit: their ebay id is reliable_unlocking_service

3.99 plus shipping for a standard unlock

Does AT&T still have seperate plans? I thought they combined with Cingular.

Cingular sucks in the mountains of NC.
