Unlock Code Instructions for Motorola Cell Phones for All Networks

In this guide I will show you how to enter unlock codes into your Motorola cell phone so that it will be unlocked from your current provider such as Cingular AT&T, T-Mobile, Rogers, etc. First you need an unlock code of course. If you don't have an unlock code yet, please visit my store unlock-cell-phones, select the correct store category, and then order an unlock code. No cable or software needed! Just enter the code that you will receive from me and you'll have an unlocked Motorola cell phone! Unlocking by entering a code on your phone's keypad is called "unlock by imei". Indeed, it is the most convenient way to unlock your cell phone.

PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU FIND THIS GUIDE HELPFUL, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CLICK "YES" AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. THANK YOU.

Question:
Why do I have to wait 2 hours before I can enter the code when phone asking for NETWORK PUK?

Answer:
This is because Motorola have added an anti brute force protection and if you enter to many codes, the phone will ask for NETWORK PUK and then it will refuse to accept the code even if is the right one.
 

Question:
After I restart my phone, the phone is asking again for SERVICE PROVIDER PIN. What shall I do to make it stop?

Answer:
Follow the instructions from SERVICE PROVIDER PUK and after that it will never ask for the code again.
