I have tried 3 different codes even one from verizon and still the phone is locked. The people in verizon told me that they only have one code for my phone and do not know why it is not working. Perhaps the phone has to be in the verizon network when in input the code.I am in Colombia right now and I am trying to use it with movistar. Thanks
Sorry for offtop.
How you taken unlock code from Verizon? I have code for my droid, but this code not from Verizon and not working. And I think code from Verizon will be work.
I guess it was just luck that i got a very helpful rep. I told the that i was abroad, that i pay in full and all that stuff.
Hi.. when i bought my Droid 3 in ebay, it was not unlocked. I asked the seller to ask for de SIM unlock code and verizon gave it to him as good client. This guy saved my life.
I am in Movistar Uruguay, and code worked. No need to use CDMA network to SIM unlock. Phone is superb.
Then I do not know what is wrong with my phone. I did exactly the same but the code does not work. I got the code from Verizon too. when i put it it does not work and it goes to subsidy lock. I guess I tried too many times and now it is in a different type of lock. Anyone knows how to restore it to original. I restored, flashed and nothing still the same.
i am trying to unlock and flash my verizon d3 as well global tech support told me the phone had to b active on there network to unlock there is a code for each meid# and things they do ota on there end also , they told me the phone could not b unlocked out of the country off of there network i am in the midst of flashing my to chinese ver.firmware but im not totaly unlocked i had a glitch flashing and had to restore factory now verizon needs to release again .,or so it seems im tryin to find away around it they only unlock each ten months
The whole problem with unlock codes from verizon is that I bet it's not the sim/network unlock code but the PUK or pin unlock key that's used to unlock the phone after too many invalid attempt but not to unlock the network/simlock. Pretty sure I can get my network unlock for bell for $75 after I've been in contract with them for 3 months and my account is in good standing. Just some idiot rep reading "unlock key" but not the first work and handing it out without really knowing what it's for, I've had it happen on rogers, bell and virgin mobile.
Ihave this same problem i buy an xt862 and a code on moto4unlock.com and dosnt work so i get a code from motorola and la this same that the moto4... So i dont know what to do same one can help me please

Hello!
Well, I am really pissed by now... after 3 weeks waiting, finally I received a turbosim clone, that according a research to my best, it could be the more probably such class device to be able to allow the locked d3 to connect at least... but NO luck... :-(
As reference to help other around here... the device was:
SMARTPHONE Sim Unlock Card and could check info for ebay item Item number: 270690911540.
I bought this, since after a long research, seems that in case of Droid 2+turbosim success, the key feature was that the sim must be the more recent possible (2011) and with Moto SidKick model losted, since this appears to be the key for success.
Well, by now, the "turbosim" seems that is recognized since the phone after boot with my local network sim installed with turosim stick to it, dont asks for Unlock Network code, BUT also do not reognize my network and do not allow clas none any kind of connection except for dial 911/112 numbers.
At this point I wonder if this is due that the phone is in Subsidy mode after the initial failed attempts to unlock with codes of internet sellers (4 diferent sellers, all have the same 2 codes, and also both fails...).
So by now without be in USA and without be a Verizon Customer, seems that I really pissed...
By now, I would like too share my bad result in order to save some money to another friend around here that may be wonder about try this turbosim option...
As a last hope, I by now wonder if I may be somewhat better luck, if I try to flash the XT883 rom, so I wonder and ask if may be some help/ inof about:
1) Flashing the XT883, may be possible that reset the SUDSIDY mode status, so, may be possible to the turbosim to recognize my local networks and allow calls?connections?...
2) May be posible that the radio part of the XT883 flash could help with the point 1 or with try again the unlock codes?
3) Is the chinese Xt883 rom still in study/hacking process for some kind developer(s) around her that may have a help with the hard locked D3?
4) May be possible that flashing some kind of rom from motorola, may be possible that the unlock could be made with the codes available (that seems that are the Moto original ones, but that after a phone is activated in Verizon network, ?they could be changed by verizon system OTA)...
Thanks for any help and best regards!
Why mess with a turbosim when you can unlock the phone with 10$ ?
Hi Solutor!
Thanks for reply... well, in fact, turbosim was my last approach, since middle september, I pass the proccess of bought unlock codes from 4 different sellers on internet, and 2 of them sold me the same 2 codes, and both codes fails, and in fact put my phone in Subsidy mode... the other 2 sellers after I send the codes and IMEI of my phone in order that they check if they may have a different code, both reply me that they have also the same 2 codes that previously fails... this point was reached by october begins... so I look for an option and found about Turbosim partial success on Droid 2 forums, so try to research and try by bought one that may seems the more possible for droid 3... but no luck....
By now, as I said, my phone is still Locked + in Subsidy mode, and by now I wonders if a Radio section flashing may help in my case, with unlock (not every probably...) or at least to make the turbosim that I already have may be recognized my network... (not sure if could be a improve in some way...)
May You have knowledge of a unlock code provider, that may be recently succesfull in unlock a Droid 3, that was activated on verizon, and that after that, the D3 was succesfully unlocked meanwhile is on an outside USA verizon network?... if so, I am very glad if You could give some suggestion.
Anyway, over all, thanks again for take time to reply, and best regards to all around here too.

Ok, I understand.
I've unlocked w/o any problem my Droid 3 (in Italy)
http://www.motorola-unlocking.com/unlock_Motorola_Droid-3.html
and (few hours ago) a Droid 2 global, here
http://www.theunlockshack.com/
In the D2g case I used a different provider because the former (for unknown reasons) asks 10$ for D3 and 20$ for D2g
The sim I used was a Vodafone Italy one, in both cases, I don't know if that matters, but given the relation between Verizon and Vodafone I decided that a vodafone sim was better than another.
P.S. I have zero experience with turbosims so I can't help with it, sorry.
- Help! I bought a second hand D3 XT862 Verizone (World Version). Sometimes it let me input Unlock Code, sometimes it said that "Subsidy Lock".
- My friend told me that after 10 times wrong code input, the phone will be locked to the Verizon's Jail forever even after I input the right code. That's really scary!
- Anyways, I want to Unlock it to make it usable with any GSM Sim Card. But I don't know how.
- Where to buy Unlock Code? And how to check if my phone is locked to Verizon forever? Is cellunlocker.net real or scam? And do we have any other way to undo the "forever locked" things?
- I beg ya all for the answers! and please help me in details! Thank you!
There are some good links for unlock codes at Crackberry on the forums and they have a specific forum for SIM unlocking. Even though it is for Blackberries it will work for the Droid 3.

I got a code from fleabay and the code works on the first try. I think it is not a good idea to try different codes.
I have never seen any definite answer on when (how many trys) it will be forever locked to Verizon but I would assume there is a definite number.

Hi guys. I also bought a code from ebay (from 2 different sellers) but neither code worked. One seller provided me with 1 code, the other with two. The one who provided two codes gave me one which was identical to the first seller's code and a second one which was completely different. Both codes were 8 characters long.
I can unlock the phone with a Turbo Sim but I get stability issues with custom roms (CM9 for example), so I'd really want to just unlock the phone via lock code. I tried inputting both 8 digit codes, then putting both codes doubled; that is each one with its line of 8 characters repeated to form a 16 digit unlock code. I heard sometimes that would work, but none of the codes was capable of unlocking my phone.
Do you guys know if it's possible that the phone won't unlock because I'm outside of Verizon network's coverage (I'm in Argentina) or is it plain and simple a matter of the codes being incorrect?
Thank you!
Hello
I wanna ask you guys if you know any SIM Unlock tool for my Droid 3 XT862 from Verizon. Firstly, I'm not in US, so for me contact VZ is impossible. I did purchase for the unlock codes from some websites, but non of them work. So my very last choice is praying for any tool that could unlock my phone.
If you know any one, or how to do that, please help me, my hero
Thanks in advance

i used it for my droid 3 and used the guide to get it working with tmobile in the usa but after unlock you will be able to use it anywhere. the guide is only necessary if you want to use it in the usa
the main point is my cell phone isn't unlocked GSM yet. I bought some code on internet, they are all the same code, and it doesn't work with mine
same problem here.
Did you input the code correctly?

Isn't Verizon known to replace the standard Motorola SIM unlock codes with their very own (which forces the user to contact Verizon to get the code, where they would request that the user have an account in good standing for x amount of months before they will give it up?)
This happened to me when I bought a Verizon Droid 2 Global during a visit to the US. No more Verizon phones for me... ever!
I purchased two codes from ebay both works

My understanding is that once user disconnects their phone from Verizon, sometimes Verizon will replace the unlock code with their own code making the code generators to not work unfortunately.
One can put their D3 on Verizon and receive the unlock code (as I understand - so, if you have a friend on Verizon who won't need an unlock code to ask to put your phone on his/her account briefly and request unlock code?). I made sure that the person selling me the phone got the unlock code and unlock the phone BEFORE selling it to me.

I noticed one company offers a more expensive unlock code service beside the standard rate serivce. Not sure if its actually increases you chances or anything, here's the link:http://www.swiftunlock.net/UnlockServices/Motorola.html

hello everyone. Has anyone had any problems network unlocking the RAZRi's? I bought the phone about 4 weeks ago from a t mobile customer. Im on the 3 network, so i paid and ordered for the unlocking code from cellunlocker.net. I recieved the code but it didnt seem to work, so i got the 16 digit unlock code from another website. Both party's have given me the same exact code and have confirmed this is the only unlock code for the phone. Whenever i enter the code on the unlock screen, nothing happens. i can enter any number any amount of times and the phone just reverts back to the unlock screen. Ive been messing around with this phone for nearly 4 weeks now trying to unlock it. I flashed different firmwares just incase it was a firmware related problem. Tried, GB Retail and Europe but no luck. Before a penalty timer used to kick in on the en.orange firmware after entering the code, now after flashing to GB and Europe and reflashing back to orange.en i dont get no penalty timers. Ive come to a point, where im thinking of selling the phone to tmobile/orange sim user and going out and buying a unlocked razr. Im just wondering, if i have hardlocked my phone? Ive been without my phone line for nearly a month now...Someone please help me
Hello, I was considering buying my phone locked on a network and using cellunlocker too.
Firstly, if you paid for their service, and it doesn't work - go back to them. Do that before you move on. They told me they can unlock the RAZR i. You are a paying consumer - you paid - they must deliver.
Don't imagine the worst; it's your phone network, it's this complicated phone/software etc. P.s. I have faith in these services normally, I think some of them are legitimate and some aren't.
Let us know what cellunlocker says. :good:

Hi
Any advise on unlocking my recently bought Verizon Droid 4? I tried the service from sim-unlock.net and they seem to have troubles doing it, because the device uses CMDA and cannot be unlocked by code.
I am stuck right now and searching for a solution mainly provided unsuccessful stories or questions without answers. I have tried the default 000000 and 123456 and they failed and have only one more try left
Please keep in mind I don't live in the US and calling Verizon can be pretty costly. I've seen a post of someone calling Verizon for hours and never managed to unlock his phone.
Phone bought on ebay from a seller in the US should be unlocked to be used on a GSM network in Europe. I already bought a pre-paid sim card
Just replying to my own post to give an update.
The code that was prompted to enter was not to unlock it from the previous carrier, but the sim unlock code from the pre-paid card.
After unlocking that I could immediately start calling with it. So I assume this Droid is already unlocked... I was totally surprised by that, I was convinced that unlocking was necessary (it was even mentioned by the seller from ebay)
While investigating this I found out you can call to the US very cheap (1 ct / minute) by some services. So I've learned a few useful things
Now my next challenge will be to install cyanogenmod on the Droid

Imho all Droid 4's are GSM unlocked. GSM is what's been used in the EU so it will work just fine.
They are only locked to Verizon in the US (CDMA instead of GSM).
