Default Iphone 3g unlocking for T-mobile?

I hope I'm in the right forums. Well here's the story.

My dad has an outstanding bill of 600 dollars on our ex- AT&T plan. So instead of paying for it, he decided to take on the road to already bad credit, to worst credit. So he opened up a T-mobile plan instead. Now here's my problem, I have an iPhone 3g with AT&T, which cannot be used unless I unlock it.

I tried unlocking it today but the guy told me that I needed the older firmware, and that he would be able to unlock it with a "turbo sim".

Does anyone know what programs are out there that would be able to unlock my iPhone 3g so I would be able to use T-mobile?

Much thanks SL, and happy holidays.

I could be wrong, but I think a company just successfully unlocked the 3G iPhone a couple days ago, an doesn't plan on releasing the hack yet.

Appears to be December 31st:

And my recommendation, get your own plan because your phone will get shut off anyway when he doesn't pay the T-Mobile bill. Only so many phone providers out there.
