Hello bjmlewis:

You did not mention if you actually have the Motorola MOTOFONE F3 and what carrier. Normally in the United States the wireless phones are not unlocked. If you want to get the phone unlocked you have to request a subsidy unlock code from your carrier. Why do you have to request this from your carrier in the US? The reason why is because the US carriers subsidize the cost of the phone to the customer. Instead of the phone costing $300, it will cost $200. Normally they will not unlock your phone until your contract is up, unless you want to go traveling internationally. AT&T/Cingular will unlock the phones for that reason or if you purchased the phone at the retail price.

Contact your carrier about their unlocking policies. Also there are websites out there, which unlock certain models for a fee. Usually the newer models may not be available on their unlocking list. Also if you damage the phone by using a third party to unlock it, the warranty would no longer be valid.

You can do a web search on third party unlocking websites. I have providing some links bellow but I have not used not investigated these sites myself to see if they are legit.

I have been working a while for cell phone companies and the one thing I am positive to tell you is if the phone has CDMA technology it can be unlocked and used with all other companies that use CDMA for instance verizon and sprint. Companies that require a GSM technology like Tmobile; they require a sim card you can have them unlocked although the phones can only be used with GSM carriers or vice versa w/ the cdma either way its good and convienent when you are comfortable with your phone and its functions....changing services would be easy. I hope I was help to you today!
