Samsung Vibrant in Hong Kong, unlocked and working on People's!!!

I showed up in Hong Kong with my Samsung Vibrant.  After I turned it on and it asked for the PIN to unlock my SIM, I kicked myself because I forgot to get that from T-Mobile before leaving.  I used Skype to call the T-Mobile 800 number and they took my request for a unlock code and 24 hours later, I had one.  I entered the PIN code, turned on data (*106*01#), subscribed to mobile data plan (*103*01#), manually added an APN via the settings at http://www.peoples.com.hk/images/handsets/handset_setting_en.pdf, and away I go!  So far I only seem to have 2G service.  But hey, it is working.

I really like T-Mobile for being so nice about providing unlock codes.
