    I understand that Motorolas cannot be unlocked remotely as you need a cable/clip and the software to do it - you need to take them to a mobile shop (try your local market - probably cost you £5/10).

    Yes, if it's a Virgin Mobile, they will unlock it for free, providing that you have topped up at least £30 since you got the SIM.
    VM Terms & Conditions

    5 i. At no additional charge, we will provide the code to 'unlock' your mobile phone, as long as you do not owe anything for that phone, you have spent at least £30 on airtime with us on that phone and you have complied with terms of this agreement. You will need to register that phone with us for security reasons.

    I was going to reply with the same message yesterday regarding spending £30 of airtime with them, but upon reading Anon's post made me decide not to as a clip/cable maybe need to be used to unlock the phone.

    However I am sure those more knowledgeable MSE's out there will clarify the situation for you. :)

    they can be done by code as virgin will have the correct code for the phones they have sold (or will have access to the moto database) - so only virgin can give it to you
