[for U.S. cell phone owners only]
It costs nothing to unlock your cell phone, other than the call itself
to your carrier. They are obliged to provide you with any instructions
and/or code necessary to unlock your phone.
Our carrier is ATT/Cingular. I've done this on 4 phones since November
2006. The first time, the representative balked. I had to talk to a
supervisor who agreed. Since then, any rep I've spoken to has been able
& willing. They either mailed the info needed w/in a few days or talked
me through it immediately on the phone. The phones I've unlocked this
way are made by Nokia, Motorola & Samsung.
If you're interested, I've posted a linky to the source documentation
below. If your carrier still refuses, the USCO & your federal Rep would
love to hear about it. In fact, I'd be very interested to hear if a
carrier /denied/ its customer a request to unlock in the past year or two.

Craig, Verizon must not know (or care) about this. Last week I called
and asked about unlocking the phone and was told they disable these
features because of security concerns for their network. I should add
it was qualified with a "for now". But the person I spoke with did not
explain any further. Nor would she give me the information I desired.
If you have any tips on how to get this information I would appreciate
it. I bought the Razr V3m so I could use these features only to find I
can't. I'd also like to understand how unlocking my phone poses a
threat to their network (not being sarcastic, I truly don't
understand).

They're full of ****. By crippling the phone, you have to pay them to
transfer photos and ringtones. Bluetooth only reaches 32.8 feet.
They're crooks.

Mr Strat, I agree, they are crooks. But with the best coverage I guess
they feel like they can be. I'd just like a simple program or
instructions on how to unlock these features. I'm not sure how they
can get away with locking a phone that I own. I thought about changing
carriers but I need the coverage Verizon offers.

If by "get this information," you mean the procedure & code for
unlocking your phone, everything I did to get it done was laid out in my
original post. I'm sorry but the only thing I can recommend is
escalation, ie: 1st to the supe, 2nd to the manager, 3rd to your
Congressional Representative's field office.
(Fwiw, Rep field offices are pretty damn scrupulous about following up
on a constituent's problem. At least, that's our experience).

Can't help you there either. I haven't the foggiest. Sorry I can't
help more but, please, post again to let us know how things turn out.
It'll help the next guy.

I have TMO in a Verizon-dominated area. There have been a few places
where I don't have coverage, but everybody leases everyone else's
towers, so it hasn't been a real problem. Also, I'm not impressed with
CDMA technology.

Craig, what I was looking for regarding what you did was, I guess more
of what you said to get them to give you the code. What Verizon does
amounts to buying a car from Dodge and then Dodge saying you can't add
any aftermarket parts or accessories. I'm willing to fight a little
with them but I'm not that familiar with how much authority the Copy
Right Office has.
I can tell you I am going to get this phone to work the way it is
supposed to. Once I do I will post back so the next guy doesn't drive
himself/herself nuts trying to do the same thing.

Mr Strat, I can only tell you about the Pittsburgh, PA area. Verizon
definitely rules as far as coverage. I have a friend that has Sprint
and another that had AT&T and I have a Nextel from work. The quality
of the calls are poor and the number of dropped calls is very high.
Mainly I think it is because we have so many hills and valleys in the
area. I can only count two spots in my home town that I get some
connection trouble with my Verizon service. Then it is only for 100'
or so.

Any news on unlocking your phone?

Re: V3
Unlock codes are the sole property of the manufacturer. Even though from
time to time you can get then from the tech. ATnT, however seems tobe a bit
more giving tham most companys. maining they like to keep thier cust. happy.
Think of a unlock code as a Windows OEM code, good luck getting that. Theres
vary good resons why most companys will not give them out. Mostly, money,
but, theyll never tell you that. I know with Sprint/Nextel, theyll refer you
to the manufacturer. Besides, you give up most of your rights over hardware
and software usage when you sign a contract with your provider and just like
MicroSoft, can cancle your service and right of use at anytime without
notice. with over 200 billion cell phone users worldwide and more money than
the oil companys makes, well maybe not, equipment unlock codes, IE software
unlock codes, are considered protected property. Now some manufacturers will
give you the codes on some of the phones. Most will not. In fact, in most
cases, if they did you could in since copy it and make you own phone to
sale. It all comes down to cold hard cash and thier not going to give that
away. Ask them one to many times and you might get a call from thier fraud
department. Most people dont understand that most cell phone companys dont
realy care what the cust. thinks, just thier money. Im not trying to sound
like a smart___, but, after working on the inside of more than one network,
Ive come accross this vary subject. Beleave me, they dont like to give them
out for any reson and whena cust asks them, its a red flag to most companys.
So becareful. Now asfar as the provider being required to give you
instruction on sitting up your phone. Nope thier not required todo anything,
in fact, thay can refuse you all togather. Its just not good on thier bottom
line. It all comes down to your cell contract. Until you have that, the
provider doesnt have to provide anything and when you do have one. Your
under what is called" TOU"," Terms Of Use" and with most contarts that TOU
isnt printed on the contart itself. It is control by the provider and can be
changed. Just like software, if you dont accept the "TOU", you want get
anything from them no matter what you payed for the phone. But like a stated
before ATnT seems to want to keep thier cust happier than most other
companys and tend to give in to them, just to them them off the phone. See,
with most cell phone companys, when you call thier tech support, your not
talking to that company. Your talking with a subcontracter like, EDS, ACI,
to name a few. These people get paid to fix your problams, on average,
within 12 min or less. Anything over that and it starts to cost them money
and that time includes hold time. Cell phone manufactures tend to get vary
upset when the company thats selling thier product gives out those codes out
and in fact most companys do not have them. See, when your useing unlock
codes, its not the phone your unlocking, its the software thats on it and
that is vary protected. What most people dont understand, that if you run
out and buy a peace of software, you dont own. youve just bought the right
to use it, within the software TOU agreement and if you look deep enough
into what your agreeing to when buying a cell. Youll see that the software
on that phone is still property of the manufacters and is controled solely
by them and thier not going to give that up. Now as far as network security.
If Ive got the unlock code to your phone. I could, in since, hack your
phone, via bluetooth, and take control over that phone. Which would allow me
to remotely operate the phone and god knows where that could lead. But,
basicly it all comes down to $$$$

Re: V3
Oh one more thing about TOU, lets say youve got a phone that the software
unlock has been used. If the provider services that phone and finds out that
unlock codes have been used in it it without any record of the manufacter
unlocking it. You could have your contract subject to early canclation and
all the fees that may go along with that. Also, if the company so chooses,
you could find yourself being slapped with a law suit. So be vary careful
when messing around with unlock codes. Using them without the manufacter
giving you the ok to do so, is still looked upon as hacking, no matter if
you own the hardware or not. They own the software, bottom line.

The above is simply not true.

Re: V3
I dont understand how you figure that my statment isnt true. Ive worked for
Nextel 2 yrs and Sprint/Nextel for 3. I know how the companys thinks and
thier policys. But, maybe I just dont understand what your finding not true.
Just for refrance, remember the battle over software rights on the
BlackBerry(RIM). Only after many years in and out of court did RIM settle
the the person who wrote the handheld software for that unit. I think if you
look more into what a cell phone contract allows the end user, youll find
that when you sign your contact, your agreeing to thier terms not the cust.
But, maybe Im mistaken. Besides Im not definding cell phone companys, thier
low and a bit drity when it comes to thier contracts and thier equipment.
are you aware that Sprint/Nextel cancled over 2500 contracts for users
calling into tech support one to many times. The users had to pay early term
fees aswell. All Im saying is, be VARY careful when dealing with them. Its
thier network, thier equipment and yes, thier software. Now, if the owner of
that software allows the manufacturer to give out those codes. Then yes,
they'll most likely give it out. Its unreal just what goes into the workings
of cell phones. You can fight them over "End Users Right", but, you'll lose
in the end. Cell phone companys have far more people working to protect
their intrest. About all you can do is drop that company and go to another,
thats it. Im sorry to say, I might had been wrong when I stated "Using them
without the manufacter giving you the ok to do so, is still looked upon as
hacking". Well, they/we dont call it hacking. They call it fruad. In the
end, is it worth taking the chance, maybe Im, being a trained CDMA/IDEM and
GSM wireless tech, just wrong. Oh well, it wouldnt be a 1st.
