I have been searching and searching to find some unlock info about v500...
My boyfriend bought his phone in France and brought it to another country.. before leaving he got the unlock code from the provider. So the proper code is in hand but unfortunately not the instructions...
So if he has the code and want to unlock the phone, what to do exactly?

Thanks for quick reply, greenleaf!
The phone was not asking for the code directly, but after waiting for some time for "contact service provider" (or something like that) finally it was possible to put the code... the message changed.
Does anyone know where I can get flash files for the V500 and tell me how to flash my phone. I would like to upgrade my phone to the V600 software (MPEG4), but am not sure on hoe to do it.

Look in the motorola tutorial section located in the bottom of the forum.
You can get the files from here.
Let me just tell you what I've been through today on this subject. I'd love to hear any comments or input.
I recently purchased a Moto Razr V3. Before I did this I called Singular and asked them if the phone was unlocked. I told them my carrier was T-Mobile. They asured me it would be unlocked but I would of course have to pay the full price $600. I did and to my dismay it was indeed LOCKED.
I called the manager who suddenly played dumb and offered a full refund. I said I paid for the phone unlocked and thats what I expect. He said there was nothing he could do. For "Blank" & Giggles I called T-Mobile. Nothing they could do. I drove to a local cell shop that specializes in unlocking phones who said he has unlocked a number of the V3's already. Reasonable price too, $15 He was dumbfounded! He couldn't do it. He said it must be a new version or series. He said I would have to wait until new software was available.
I then called Cingular again and spoke with a supervisor. She said that the only one who could unlock it or offer the unlock code was the manufacturer...Motorola. I called Motorola and they said they could not, by law, give out the codes and that only the carrier can. He informed me of a website Cingular has where you can request the Subsidy password or code. However, the website states this is only for active Cingular customers.
In the middle of all this I begin to feel as if I am in a "Keystone Cops" movie.
So, I was honest, paid for the product and this is what I get. And the truth is I was truely considering moving over to Cingular once my contract was up. Not now!! I can't believe these idiots do business this way. Sorry but these Bozo's need to be regulated!!
I have a Motorola V180 purchased as a T-Mobile unlocked phone. Had to get unlock codes from T-Mobile to get it unlocked though. Now that I am past that and have my Cingular SIM card inserted, I get no signal at all. All my other phones have a signal so it's not the area. Any attempt to make a call fails. Is there other settings that need to be changed in order for this phone to now work with Cingular's service? BTW, Cingular says everything is good on their end and it should be working.
