| Anyone know of a decent forum for unlocking cell phones? I'm going to be doing some travelling to other countries soon and I'd like to unlock an old phone and use a local sim card. |

i have to motorola v66i's that i got from t mobile, i switched back and forth between germany and the states with em for 4 years, they never even needed to be unlocked, jst switch the chips, set the bands and go i believe that on quite a few they are never locked to begin with, they just don't tell you that. |
Quite a few are locked, not many are unlocked. A good way to tell if a phone's unlocked is to see the box. If the box is manufacturer branded "motorola" or "Nokia", then it's unlocked. Otherwise, it's probably locked. |
Hold down * and # while turning the phone on. That will get you into boot loader mode. there might be a software unlock for it. Read the OS number to me. |
