That would be me ... good seeing you here Jim .

I'm not sure whether it's the 90 days after signed contract, or at least 90 days of being a T-mo customer. But the service rep. did hesitate at first, until I told her that I'm off to an overseas biz trip in a few weeks and I absolutely must have my phone unlocked by then. She was very understanding afterward ... got the code emailed to me the next day.

Hats off to T-mo for their prompt response.
