Anyway, I unlocked bot of them. I just went to the web site, and requested an unlock code, it took 24 hours of so to get it. They are now unlocked. My current phone was purchased outright, and I bet it too is locked, but I have not checked.

Most likely you will need to go to an AT&T store, and have that fun. Since you were not the original owner, you will need to provide some proof your relative is dead, and that the phone is not stolen. Good luck, most likely it will suck getting it unlocked.

If you have the phone in your possession, even if the calling is disabled, you can set it up to use wifi, and use it for every function, except making a call. It would be a miniature iPad, and iPod all in one.
My mom and aunt (who was the original owner of the phone) live a few miles apart. I suspect my aunt can go to an ATT store with my mom to get it done which will still be a hassle because every cell phone store is, but not as horrible as if my aunt weren't able to go.
