Unlock Codes For A Motorola RAZR V3

The Motorola RAZR line of phones was originally released in 2004, eventually selling more than 130,000,000 units to make it the number one bestselling clamshell-design mobile phone. The RAZR V3 was initially released in late 2004, although various special models continued to be released until 2007.

No matter which model of the RAZR V3 you have, however, you’re stuck with the Motorola SIM code that locks the SIM card of the phone. Although the RAZR V3 is a GSM phone that will technically work with any GSM carrier, with the Motorola SIM code locking the SIM card, you can’t use your phone with carriers other than the one from which you purchased it.

When it comes to unlocking phones Motorola phones are not that different from any other manufacturer’s phones. The phones come from the factory unlocked, and the carriers request that Motorola lock them to prevent their customers from getting a free phone from them which is then used with one of their competitors’ services. That means Motorola mobile unlocking is easy to do, since you’re just reversing the procedure Motorola used to lock the phone in the first place. All you need to unlock all Motorola phones are the correct unlock codes.

One big advantage to unlocking phones, Motorola phones as well as others is that you can use SIM cards for carriers that are local to your location when you travel. The resale value of your phone also increases. Motorola mobile unlocking also has no effect on your warranty, and remains in place even after software updates are rolled out from Motorola to update your mobile phone.

Some carriers will unlock your phone for you by entering the unlock codes if you go into their store and explain that you are travelling and need to be able to buy and use a SIM card from your destination country. However, even if your carrier will not assist you in unlocking your phone, you can still do it yourself.

Just buy a SIM card and RAZR V3-specific unlock code from a vendor. The SIM card needs to be associated with a phone carrier other than the one which is your phone carrier.

Once you receive the new SIM card and unlock code, you don’t need anything else. Simply follow these steps to unlock your RAZR V3.

1. Power off your phone.

2. Remove your existing SIM card, and replace it with the new SIM card for a carrier other than the one which is your current carrier.

3. Power on your phone.

4. The phone will ask you to enter the subsidy code.

5. Simply enter the unlock code you were given.

That’s all there is to it! You can now use your Motorola RAZR V3 with any network worldwide.

      1. Thanks for your effort, but obviously it can’t work, because you delivered a 9 number code where as the code to enter is only 8 digits …
