With all my Motorolas I've either had to use a hardware solution (that is,
take it to a shop who attach the phone to a piece of kit) or get the
unlock code from the network. AFAIK unlike Nokia phones, Motorola mobiles
don't have a code that can be generated from the
IMEI and/or the network
it's locked to.
I've no idea what sort of place you'd need to find in the US to do such
unlocking, but here in UK you're best looking for a small, independent
mobile phone retailer, especially one that deals in (legitimate)
second-hand phones.
Hope that's of some help.
