Yes, this is the number we would need to unlock it.

I don't think the password is needed.

We can talk during the weekend.

She cannot use AT&T for her service.  In fact, I don't know anybody who
uses AT&T for their service.

You would definitely have to sell the phone for less if it's still tied to
AT&T.

We can discuss prices.  If you were to sell it on eBay, I suspect that
this phone will get sold for much less than what you paid for it,
especially since most people want unlocked phones and generally don't care
about how much it was used but rather how long the phone has been owned.
