Motorola V400 unlock question
Posts: n/a I just want to unlock my FIDO phone so I can change sim cards when I travel. I own the Motorola made (not a knockoff) USB cable as well. Is there any software that exists that will allow me to unlock my phone? (preferably free) or does this not exist? I have read tons of conflicting stuff...

Posts: n/a Re: Motorola V400 unlock question The V400 cannot be unlocked for FREE like NOKIA's etc. Do yourself a favor,pay someone to unlock the phone and save yourself ALOT of heartache.

Posts: n/a Re: Motorola V400 unlock question mine is DEFINTELY locked, I tried my friends Rogers Sim card (since I am onFIDO) and it didn't work, it asked for that provider # (which means it is locked). Do you know that if once a phone has been unlocked, could it ever be locked (by accident) with a firmware upgrade?

Posts: n/a Re: Motorola V400 unlock question what do you mean by heartache (do you mean it is potentially dangerous?)I did a Siemens phone, was pretty easy. Figure if there are a ton of places offering the service (for a fee) that any Joe-schmo with the right software (i.e. unlocker software + unlock codes) could do it, provided that special hardware (other than an official motorola USB data cable) is NOT required? (Is special hardware required?)

How can I tell if it is locked or > unlocked? It is probably unlocked. One way to check is to find someone else with a GSM phone, and borrow their SIM and try it in your phone. If your phone is locked, then you won't get far. -- John
