With a little googling, tweaking, and a lot of patience/help from Lo' [thanks again bro!] I've now been able to unlock & use the built-in Sony Ericsson GPRS/EDGE Modem on the UX280P with another SIM card. I slapped in my Globe SIM and after a few minutes I was prompted that the network has been found & that it was ready to use. I tried connecting to GPRS and sending SMS using the included Cingular Connection Manager and it worked! Hehehe! I am unsure if I can make GSM voice calls with this module & software combination. Since I'm using a non-UX280P specific SmartWi application [using a SmartWi for a Sprint enabled VAIO because it works with Vista] and with this version I can't activate WLAN and WWAN at the same time. Might do a bit more research and see if these can be rectified. I also might look into Globe's Visibility [unlimited DATA plan for PhP 2,000.00] plan for my data needs.

Then you need to have someone call AT&T and unlock the sim module.
