If you call the company and tell them that they will probably give you the unlock code..it just may cost 25 or 50 dollars.

that is wrong

gsmliberty.com

you need a data cable to unlock it...but its just a usb a to usb b connection...same cable that a psp uses

that or call you local independent cell phone shop...usually run by asians...they most likely will have a box to do it..........

why do you need you phone unlocked

might want to wait til you get overseas to get it done....that way you can pick up a prepaid sim as well....i would also try to call CS at cingular and tell them that you are going for 6 months to study abroad....i know tmobile will give you the code and instructions...not sure about cingular

You need a special unlock box for the razr, you can not do it with codes, or by using usb.

I was going to say something to that effect.. I have heard Motorola phones are quite difficult to unlock.
