After migrating from ATT to Cingular and buying a new from them how long can I expect it to take to see the charge for the new phone on my account on line ?

I requested and received an unlock code for the 8125. All I needed to do was to insert my old ATT SIM card, turn the phone on, and enter the code and hit unlock when prompted. The code took about 2 days to get. Initially they included an erroneous set of instructions which they corrected soon after.

Interesting... I called Cingular for the unlock code for the phone 8125 phone I purchased outright, and they just read it to me over the phone right then.

Interesting. I bought and received an 8125 several days ago and have not seen any charges either. They were supposed to bill my credit card but haven't yet.

My unlock request may have been one of the first and after some research on their part the process seems to have evolved.

My phone was charged to my account. Two weeks ago.
