How to Unlock Motorola Cell Phones
- 1). Call your carrier and ask for an unlock code. Sometimes the most direct approach works best. If you have an account in good standing and intend to travel abroad, carriers will usually give you the unlock code and instructions. If you cannot acquire an unlock code this way, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, skip to Step 3.
- 2). Purchase an unlock code from one of many online unlocking code sellers. Many companies claim to be able to sell you valid unlocking codes for whatever your model of Motorola phone. However, be careful because they are selling an unauthorized product and you have little recourse if it doesn't work.
- 3). Remove your SIM card and insert a SIM from a different service provider in its place.
- 4). Turn on you Motorola phone, which should immediately ask for your subsidy or unlock code. Enter the code and press "OK" to complete the unlock.
- 5). If the previous steps didn't work for you, purchase and download unlocking software for Motorola phones from one of many online sellers if you don't have or want to purchase a code. This method has you paying for software utilities, which you download to your computer. You then run the software while your phone is connected to your computer --- usually by USB cable.
