unlocking a vendor specific cell phone

hi y'all , i was wondering if maybe somebody could help me out . i've recently moved to new zealand and i'd like to unlock my at&t branded samsung phone so i can use it with carriers here . does anybody know if there are any free and opensource programs that could generate the 8 digit code to unlock my phone from based on its imei number?
best,
monty

Re: unlocking a vendor specific cell phone

so i've been doing some serious google research on the subject and have concluded that this whole line of inquiry is dodgy as (read: sketchy) if anyone is an amatuer cryptologist maybe you might know but otherwise this topic isn't worth the bother

On the other side of the planet - Sweden - companies unlock cell phones for a pretty reasonable fee. Is that service not available down-under?

I know in the UK there are loads of small shops and market stalls where they offer the unlock service for a small fee - they know a lot of the codes
