Re: Reply From Gail re: your "smart" cell phone

Do not bother trying to unlock it yourself.  I think this will be too
technical for you.

I just now read more about unlocking AT&T phones.

My sister should be able to unlock your phone as long as you did not set
up a PIN for the phone.  If you did, it may not be possible, or could be
very difficult.  It looks like your phone fits all the other requirements
for unlocking, 'tho.

My sister's address is below.

Please send me the tracking number once you get it so we can make sure the
package doesn't get misplaced or lost.

Thanks.

Name and address:

 Marnie

 9 Green St. Apt 5 (rear)

 Amesbury, MA 01913
