how to unlock motorola v975?

[Kess]

Hello everybody!

First of all, I want to apologize...I don't have 20 postings, but I do not know where else to post this query, for in the motorola section I read that code-queries are not welcome, and really, I am an absolute unprofessional regarding mobile unlocking (I only know how to unlock nokias with the code calculator) - so I hope I will be answered, or informed where I should put my posting in case it is not welcome in this section. Thanx.

The problem is the following: I have won a Motorola V975 mobile, locked to the provider 3 (in Austria). I even won 40€ worth of recharge. Only problem: the package I won did NOT include a SIM card from 3! How funny is that? Thus I can neither use nor recharge my phone
Instead of letting myself be forced into purchasing a SIM card from 3, I decided to better unlock my phone and use the SIM-card I already posess (Telering Austria). Because that is a question of principle, I believe: if I win something, I don't want to be forced to BUY something in order to use what I have won!

My question is: What possibilities are there to unlock my phone for free? Can it be done remotely? Can I unlock the phone with codes (it asks for a subsidy code when I put in my telering SIM)? I have a USB data cable that came along with the package...can I use any free software along with this cable to unlock the V975 phone?

I would be very thankful for a fast reply! Also, if I am wrong in this section, please let me know.

Greetings from Austria,

Hello mp3hot!

Well, thanx for your reply...for I don't have 20 posts...but I wonder, how to get 20 posts that are not nonsense, if I really don't know much about mobile unlocking...kind of a mission impossible, it seems.

Yes, it would be nice if you could find me somebody in Austria (in Salzburg if possible), who can unlock my phone. Also, your location says Sicily, but you write I can go to Malta so you can unlock my phone, haha - now I don't know where I should go for my next holiday! Shops where you can unlock mobile phones seem to be of a rare species here in Salzburg!

Well, I don't want to make you read more than your lazy eyes can, hehe, so I leave it at that.
But one thing still, is there really no such thing as to unlock the phone via a subsidy code? Wouldn't that be much easier as doing it with that clip thingie?

Thanx again,

Kess

HI,

There are alot of online sites that unlock motorola phones by IMEI number, but not for free. Juat have a look in the sales section, or search for motorola subsidy code in sales section.

Hello Scooter!

That sound like a good tip, since I like to get things done by myself!
However, I am such a newbie, that I don't know what exactly a smart clip is. Is it the data cable that connects the phone via USB port to the pc? Such a cable came along with the package, can I use it?

Thanx for a reply,
Kess
