How do I unlock my phone?

Hi Guys, I understand that by unlocking your phone you can use it on any carrier, I have an old engineering sample Motorola Q9 that is locked to Vodafone UK. He says although it has a sticker on the back that says its not to be used as a phone, that he has tested it and it is fine for it to work on the live phone networks. My question is how do I unlock the phone without paying dodgy companies to unlock it for me?

0	might be different for Vodafone but for Orange I just phoned them up and they give you a code that unlocks it (and charge you around £20-£25 for the privilege!). I think you need the IMEI number but it was a while ago so can't remember exactly answered Aug 02 '11 at 07:54 osiris 816●3●7●19

0	Or you can just look for the unlock code online. Alot of people post unlock codes fir older phones. answered Aug 02 '11 at 09:12 ghost9658 1 These unlock codes are specific to your exact IMEI number. (May 07 at 10:10) jjb0894
