I'm soryy but I tought was already clear that the phone must be sim unlocked.

There are two kind of locks on the D3

the sim lock, that blocks any sim different from the verizion one

and the band lock, that blocks the gsm in the US (no matter the sim inserted).

The first kind of lock is easy to remove with a code provided from both verizion (for free if you are entitled) or third party companies (for a price, usually 10$).

The second kind of lock is the one talked about in this thread.

P.S. I'm afraid that if you have the unlock code you must be on the verizon rom to input it.

My D3 is unlocked and I live at the border with USA, the other day I cross the border and nothe that my gsm chip does not work.

I will finish the test for you, will flash it with the above instructions and let you know...

The Droid XT862 is most definitely unlockable. I'm using it with AT&T's $10 basic phone data plan.

Use the guide provided here

But, instead of using the files that are in the guide, use these updates ones.

*MAKE SURE YOUR DROID 3 IS SIM UNLOCKED*
To get a cheap code, go to Unlock4Moto. The codes come extremely fast, and for $6, you can't beat the price.
