6. Enter the 8-digit unlock code and tap OK when done.

7. Wait for the device to validate the unlock code (about five seconds). You will see one of the following screens:
A...Unlock successful.

B...Unlock failed due to incorrect code. The user has three attempts to unlock. After three attempts, the device will refuse any more unlocking attempts. Perform a soft reset to reset the counter to perform additional unlocking attempts.

C...Device is not ready for unlocking. This error message displays when the user tries to unlock when the phone application (not the device) is not in a steady state. It takes 30 seconds after powering on the phone for it to reach a steady state.

Where can the unlock codes be aquired?

You have to call T-Mobile for the code - each is unique to to the phone, associated with the IMEI number.

Does anyone have experience with buying a 6315 and freely getting unlock code from T-Mobile to allow its use with another SIM/Service provider? I am in the market, but havn't had luck with the US sources on this information. Getting cross-continent information is near impossible. Have company SIM/Phone in South Africa and want to use the Nokia SIM card in the IPac. Any assistance would be appreciated.

T-Mobile will only give the unlock code to customers after 90 days, per their policy.

Their current policy is one unlock code per 90 days. They do, in fact, enforce this. I know this because they ignored my first unlock request, and with the second one informed me that it was less than 90 days since my previous unlock request. By email of course, not directly. Now I get to hassle them again to unlock it for me.
