AFAIK jailbreak is only for iphones

what you need is an unlock code for your phone

might not help, but googling "unlock motorola c650" yielded a ton of results that I didn't check because it's not my phone.

ok so unlock. it looks like a lot of people want to charge 20 bucks to do this. I dont want to pay. I know people here have done it.
From what I could find it looks like you have to put new software on it. anyone have a idea of a software that would work on it or have a good site for a resource?


Admin if this is not the place to talk bout this please let me know and remove this thread.

Most phones don't necessarily need new software to be unlocked. Often it is just a (very) long series of keypresses. There are (rather expensive) hardware devices you can buy that you can plug your phone into and unlock it that way, too.

If you have been in your contract over a year, most retail stores will do it for you for free.

I remember trying to unlock my motorola a while back...basically, you could pay $10-$20 for a company to do it for you, or you could pay $10-$20 for some specific cables that you needed to unlock it. I ended up doing neither.

AT&T will do it. You call them up and give them your info to get an unlock code

I can unlock a RAZR via software and software alone. Since it plugs in via USB there is no extra cable needed either.

I don't know if there is software for the c650
