[claRkEnt]

.

How much ang charge to "unlock" a cellphone from the USA (a motorola) para magamit dito sa pinas? Ok lang ba dun sa mga booths ng malls?

thanks

i just checked it and it's a MOTORAZR. We have this model in the philippines di ba? And since GSM din ito (quad-band), it should be able to function here normally. tama ba?

Sensya na kayo, la ako masyado alam electronics etc. Out of my line me being in the chemical field.

Baka kasi pagpunta ko sa mga malls, mayari pa ako, so better have some advance knowledge. Thanks

alam ko din hindi pwede, o kaya gagawan ng convertion. kasi ung 82 na recondition na nabili ng utol ko dati galing US pala. nalaman lang namin nung nawalan ng signal. sabi nung technician hindi daw 8210, converted lang.

As long as it's cingular or tmobile multi band phone it could opened.

Razor uses 850/900/1800/1900 band.

[claRkEnt]

yes! it's CINGULAR.

[GasJunkie]

From my experience here in canada all tri/quad band are not provider locked. Just call your provider it could already be open. Definitely could be used back home.

Motorola RAZR is QUAD band.. so pwede sya magamit dito.. yes, it can be unlocked though mas mahal lang compared to nokia phones.. cost would be around 500-1,500..

sorry po, PEDE po ma-open dito kahit sa mga booth store lang.. may pinapalitan silang parts. like for me, meron binigay uncle ko from hawaii nokia 8290. single band lang. pina-convert ko to nokia8210 P350 only 3 parts ang pinalitan+software para ma-open. try mo po mag-inquire sa mall, greenhills is better.

bro. hwag sa festival mall hanggat maari. dami magugulang dyan. yung panasonic a100 ng anak ko dyan ko pinaopen line, na corrupt yung software lalo. had to pay panasonic to restore everything. dami rin daw g*g0 dyan. may mga ibang shops dyan, pinapalitan ng lumang components yung mobile, tapos kinukuha yung bago.

kung kaya mo mag byahe. goldcrest ka na lang dito sa may glorietta.
di ko rin marerecommend yung mga shops sa atc. taga sumingil!

not with US carriers. all phones purchased with or without plan is locked to its specific network if bought from the carrier or retailer. Pero some retailer can unlock the phone when you buy it.

kaya useless nga ang QUADBAND dahil locked naman sa carrier.

resmile, have you tried remote unlocking?

[RIKK03]

I was there last year and it cost me 1000 pesos to unlock my T-Mobile phone.

[silverbx986]

mga gurus...SE 710a, pwede ba to sa pinas? TY

"remote unlocking"? paano yun sir?

[IIE]

i think "remote unlocking" mobile network lang ang allowed to open the phone. the best to change the parts ng cp mo, to lower version, in philippines version. try mo po sa greenhills magpa0pen line bantayan mo na lang kung pano nila ayusin, at least nakikita mo, para sure at pulido ang work. then get some warranty para pag di nagwork mabalik mo agad

[claRkEnt]

OK. Salamat muli.

I was at festival mall last night and the quote was Php900. Kaya lang, medyo hesitant yung YES when i asked kung nag-oopen sila Motorazr. So i decided na wag na lang. Balak pa yata pag-experimentuhan yung CP (baka first time nila to do it..)

I guess pasyalan ko na lang either glorietta (as recommended by Gilmore) or sa greenhills.
