Hello,

I recently picked up the GSM version (Rogers) and am having issues with unlocking.

I've tried two online services without luck.

As you can see, I am trying to avoid paying the $50 fee that is being requested from the carrier.

Can anyone recommend a reputable vendor?

Whom have you tried unlocking it with? Have you tried cellunlocker.net? They claim to have an unlock code for the RAZR HD.

Thank you both for the suggestions.

I tried theunlockshack.com but they could not locate an unlock code (but they graciously refunded my money).

Additionally, I tried a reseller on eBay but they were also unable to locate a code.

Ultimately, I utilized a local shop and had it unlocked in a matter of minutes. Not my first choice because of the cost but I am up and running.

All the best!

do you know if by any chance if this phone could work in mexico? i think it would cost me cheaper to buy it on the united states that here in mexico when they release it, but i dont pretty much about unlocking and all that stuff to make it work, and it works at its 100% or have issues or something

To address the questions concerning different countries, consider the following:

You can purchase the Verizon model (Droid Razr Maxx HD - XT926) or the GSM variant (Razr HD - XT925).

Both models take a SIM meaning they can be unlocked to work on networks other than the ones they were originally intended for.

You must be certain that the bands are compatible with your carrier (e.g. Viettel Mobile, MobiFone etc etc for Vietnam OR Movistar, TelCel etc etc for Mexico).


The bands for the Droid Razr Maxx HD are:

2G Network - CDMA 800 / 1900
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network - CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

4G Network - LTE 700 MHz Class 13


AND

The bands for the Razr HD are:

2G Network - GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network - HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

4G Network - LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600
LTE 700 / 800 / 1700 / 1800 / 2600



Call the Carrier you plan to use and ask if the bands are compatible.
