I had my unlock code within two days.
What you suggested work very well with me too. Previously I asked CCG Burning guy (Cory) but his fee is quite costly (US$60) so I tried another vendor ("blowfish") with $35. It turned out to be useless when he didn't get it at the promised time. Being confused and desperate I called AT&T at 1-800-331-0500.

I didn't even fake my identity. I told her that I bought the device from ebay and tried many ebay and non-ebay vendors to provide me with my Da Vinci code. I also told her that I am not their customer. Surprisingly, they are so helpful. While doing research for my code she even asked about the weather and whether or not I got good bargain for my phone, etc.

And right, she asked if I want to be contacted by phone or by email, which I preferred the latter. She told me it will be sent to me in a week. For my surprise it came in 2 days!
