I have A V300, which I was having difficulty getting unlocked. Most places offering this service can't get unlock codes at the moment, because Motorola's servers have been down for ages.

After lots of searching, I came accross a company in Canada advertising via ebay, which uses a different way to unlock. Costs $25 (about £14/£15) for each phone. I unlocked 2x V300's using his service. Only waited about six hours before I got the password/username to unlock. Worked 100%.

I beleive, unless things have changed recently, this will be the only way to get your phone unlocked without waiting many weeks.

The only two problems are that you will need to setup a Paypal Account (if you haven't already got one) and a Motorola USB cable.

I have also upgraded my phones software to emulate that of the V600 (including having the video playback facility) - well smart!

Here is the link

Couldn't you just ring Orange and ask for it to be unlocked?

If you go to any corner shop which sell sim cards cheaply they usually offer the service of having it unblocked, usually only for about £5.
