Unlocking your Motorola cell phone will enable you to use any Subscriber Identity Module, or SIM, card in your phone. This provides you with more options to use rival networks on your phone. You also can get SIM cards when traveling outside of the country so you can save money on the cost of those calls. Unlocking your phone adds value to it if you decide to sell it to a new owner. The new owner will be able to use the SIM card of his or her choice. You will need to pay an unlocking service about $10 for a code to unlock your SIM.
Instructions
1. Check to see if the SIM card in your Motorola phone needs to be unlocked. To do this, use a SIM card from a different network and insert it in your phone. If your phone is locked it will display a message asking for a "Subsidy Password."
2. Contact a SIM card unlocking service to pay for an unlock code. Insert the SIM card you want to use and turn on your phone.
3. Look for the words "Enter Subsidy Code." Enter the unlock code provided by the unlocking service.
4. Should the SIM not unlock, follow specific directions provided by the unlocking service. This should enable you to use your new SIM.
