Anyone know where I can get a LG phone unlocked locally (walnut creek/berkeley area?)

My friend gave me a LG phone (G4020 locked on AT&T network, i use cingular) and i'd like to be able to use it before leaving for vegas tomorrow evening.

If you have any suggestions on where to go please post em here.

Thanks,
Zoeb

my phone is locked to AT&T and I get even get into the menus with my cingular sim card.

but the menu is not what I need to get into to unlock it, I need a "restriction code"
