Simple, remote IMEI-based unlocking for Motorola phones in 3 steps with DirectUnlocks.
Quickly and easily unlock your Motorola remotely:
Provide your device details
Choose the network of the phone you wish to unlock and supply the IMEI number. We'll autodetect the model for you.
You can get your IMEI by dialling *#06# on your phone.
We process your unlock
As soon as your order is placed, our system securely contacts your carrier and begins the unlock process. You can follow your progress live on our tracking page. Most unlocks complete within 15 minutes — complex cases may take up to 24 hours.
Phone is ready
Once processed, the unlock remains active even after software updates or resets. You’ll receive confirmation by email and push notification. Apple devices are processed remotely, and others receive an authorised unlock code.

How a Motorola unlock actually finishes
Everything happens remotely, from your IMEI. Your Motorola never leaves you and nothing is installed on it.
- You send your IMEI Dial *#06# on the phone, or find it in Settings, About phone.
- We email you the code Keep using the phone normally while we do. Nothing is installed and nothing changes on it yet.
- Put in the new SIM Power the phone off, fit a SIM from the network you are moving to, power it back on.
- Type the code in once The phone asks for a network unlock code as it starts up. Enter it and the lock is gone for good.
That is the whole process. There is no second method for Motorola and no session to book.
Legal, and your warranty is untouched
Unlocking a phone you own is legal in the United States. The Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act of 2014 settled that, and the wireless industry's own Consumer Code commits carriers to unlocking eligible devices. The difference is that we are not bound by the conditions a carrier attaches — being mid-contract or still paying the handset off does not stop us.
This is an IMEI unlock, not a root or a custom ROM. Nothing is flashed and nothing on the handset is modified, so your photos, apps and messages stay exactly as they are.
Unlocking a Motorola — Frequently Asked Questions
The code
My Motorola is not asking for the code. What now?
The prompt only appears with a SIM from a network the phone is not locked to. Power off, fit the new network's SIM, power on. If it still does not appear, the phone may already be unlocked — send us the IMEI and we will tell you before you pay.
How many attempts do I get?
A limited number, and running out can lock the field permanently. Enter the code we send exactly as it appears, once, and do not try codes from anywhere else first.
Does it stay unlocked after an update or a factory reset?
Yes. Once the code is accepted the lock is gone for good, and neither a software update nor a factory reset brings it back.
Whether we can unlock yours
Can you unlock it while I am still paying the phone off?
Yes. An outstanding instalment balance or an active contract does not stop us. You still owe the balance to your carrier — unlocking does not cancel the debt — but it no longer stops you using another network.
I do not know which network it is locked to.
Use our IMEI network checker before you order. It reads the carrier off the IMEI, so you are not guessing at the dropdown.
Does unlocking affect my warranty or my data?
Neither. This is an IMEI unlock, not a root or a custom ROM — nothing is flashed and nothing on the handset is modified, so your photos, apps and messages are untouched.
