I need to thank the person who mentioned the "use packet data" thing, because though I could make calls, I was not getting internet access to work. But then I thought to look under settings, and when I saw that was not enabled, I thought that might be the issue and sure enough it was.
So now if I want to use the phone for a day, I'm good. Opted for a $2 a day plan, since I mostly just want a portable tablet. I could see this occasionally being useful, like if I needed to bid on ebay while running errands.
Anyway, it's nice to know the unlock procedure worked. I'm not sure I'm brave enough yet to try rooting!
Next step is to get the anti-glare screen protector off and get a crystal clear one on.

You can use your mifi for both data and free phone calls. You only need a google voice number and download Groove IP off the Market for a one time charge of 5 bucks. Then as long as you are on wifi or mifi you can make and receive calls through Groove IP using your free google voice phone number.
That is what I do,. talked my hubby into doing it and we now spend about 40 bucks a months between us for our smartphones.
