Motorola RAZR V3
Locked or Not?????
No, it cannot be done in store. And customer care cannot do it anymore... You still call customer care, but they have to make sure you're eligible for it (have had the phone over 90 days, have international roaming provisioned [in case you don't do it right and need to call us], etc...) and someone gets back to you. BUT, most it cannot be unlocked until you have another non-Cingular sim card to put in it... generally, an oversees one...
When you put in the other sim card, it'll ask for the unlock code...
We (customer care) used to be able to generate them very easily, but not anymore!
But it CAN be done... just don't go to a store the day before you leave thinkin...

Cingular's will be SIM locked due to a new lock/unlock policy we're adopting. 👿 Unlocks are not out of the question however, but of course it has to be reviewed by CS.
What in heavens name would be the point of offering the Motorola V3 locked to the public. I think it defeats the design feature of it being a quad band phone.
I travel all over the world a lot and It would be nice to know I can take my V3 with me when I get it!!!!! 👿
It doesn't so much defeat the purpose as make it more expensive, but I agree it's not a good move. I think that's why they're willing to look at unlocking them for you under certain circumstances.
