Default Motorola XT720 Unlock

Hi,
I am really new to android , switch from iphone to Motorola XT720 .
I just bought one today but its unlocked to Videotron in canada to work on Rogers service provider.

My question is :
Is theres a way similar to jailbreak and sim unlock for iphone to unlock my moto phone . or I need unlock code?
I did found online things about superoneclick which gives root access and some other software , some other people said something about loading the phone with a rom , not 100% how this works .


Thanks

no, you are getting those things mixed up

you are trying to SIM unlock, which we have not yet found in this forum

that means you will need an unlock code from Videotron, which i know they will not give you one

all of the above aside

this phone works in 1700+2100, that means it is not really compatible with Rogers, unless you plan to only use Voice calls

Rogers / Fido runs on 850+1900 for 3G

that's assuming you manage to get the unlock code from Videotron

I have not been able to find anyway to unlock the phone so far, but i know that if you have 3 months of service with Videotron they will just give you the unlock code.

Videotron has good service i know this in it's self is an oxymoron....
After all an ISP with great customer satisfaction self... at that price LOL!
The first thing i asked for was the unlock they promised me after 3 months i would get it!

And i did!!
Bt the unlock codes are handset specific... so mine would do you no good....
