I think $25 is steep.. but shipping costs.. you might be able to
buy a cheap phone for as little as $60

check these out:

(I dont have experience buying anything from tigerdirect - FYI)

again.. do the math and see if its worth it to get the phone unlocked
this way... try again with cingular and see if they can unlock it for you.
