Get in touch with your cellular service company
Contact your cellular service provider by calling them or paying a visit to their office. Explain the agent that you are thinking about using your phone with some other service provider and require the unlock code for your Motorola phone. The representative will ask a few questions from you about your phone and then fill out the application to get the unlock code from Motorola. Normally this will take around a couple of days, and when the code is received from Motorola, they will email it to you on the address that you gave to them most recently. Make sure you save this code for future reference. -
