How To Unlock Motorola CLIQ
Review released on December 1st, 2009 by Derek
Want to unlock a Motorola CLIQ? Unlocking the new Motorola CLIQ takes a few minutes and a Motorola unlock code. By unlocking your Motorola CLIQ you will be able to use this phone with any GSM phone carrier network you wish to. I should also mention that the Motorola CLIQ is also known as the Motorola DEXT MB220 outside of the USA. These free unlocking instructions will work on any CLIQ that has a SIM card in it regardless if it’s from the USA or outside of it.
Find Your Motorola CLIQ’s IMEI Number
Before you can attain your Motorola CLIQ’s unlock code you will need the IMEI number on it. You can find the IMEI number by simply typing *#06# and hitting enter. This number is unique to all GSM phone and will help calculate your unlocking code. Once you have your unlock code you are ready to begun the Motorola unlock instructions posted below.
Here are the steps to unlock your phone:
Unlock Motorola CLIQ (SIM Unlock)
1. Reboot your Motorola CLIQ with an unaccepted SIM card in.
*If the display reads “Enter Special Code”, enter the unlock code and press “OK”
*If the display does not read “Enter Special code”:
2. Press and hold the * key until an entry box is displayed.
3. Type *, #, 3, 2, # and press “OK”
4. Enter your Motorola CLIQ’s unlock code and press “OK.”
5. Your Motorola CLIQ should now display either “Completed” or “Deleted”
You can see the Motorola CLIQ’s full specifications on this website if your interested in learning more about it.
Get a Motorola CLIQ Unlock Code
Getting a free code from your carrier doesn't always work. Alternatively, I recommend this unlock service when trying to find an unlock code. If they do not support your cell phone then you can also try this website that supports tons of specific phone models.

it doesn’t work in my cliq, i press and hold * but no entry box show up
I followed your instructions for unlocking my Moto Cliq but don’t seem to work. I never come to a place where it asks for an Enter Special Code window or if a press * nothing happens. I do have an unlocking code from the carrier.
hey Fernando have U tried to put the new t-mo sim card compatible with cliq, might works
hi do yall know where can i get an unlock code for my moto cliq i already tried 4 unlcoking sites and they say that they are unable to calculate the code
@koan
I’m having the same issue. I tried calling T-Mobile and they told me that at this time they can’t process my request. I also tried CellUnlockStore.com and after 3 days they told me that they couldn’t calculate the code. Could someone recommend a web site that will?
Also, the *#32# doesn’t work. I did some research and the reason why the “Enter Subsidy Code” screen wasn’t showing up is because I have a SIM Pin on my card. You just have to remove the SIM Pin and reboot the phone. After that, now the screen does come up.
All I need now is the unlock code :S
please i have the same problem. can’t unlock my moto cliq with moto blur(mb220)…please help. i am in nigeria now and my nigeria sim cards are not working with the phone.
how to get unlock code
i can’t unlock my moto BLUR MB200 as you say.anyone can’t help me without buy a code to unlock it.Thanks
awesome..thanks for the guide, i got my unlock code at ebay for 22 bucks. reboot my phone with different sim and it says enter sim network unlock pin..i put the unlock code i got from ebay and thats it!!
Very nice jay! I’m glad to hear that everything worked out well when unlocking your Motorola CLIQ.
Hi, i already have the unlock code, but when i reboot the cliq with the unaccepted sim card, it asks me to enter pin code of the sim, i enter my normal pin code and it recognizes it, but it doesn’t connects to the network. There is no unlock window, or any place in which i can enter the unlock code. Help Me Please!
Guys! I had to share this. I found the solution at motorola´s forum:
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/16248?start=15&tstart=0
THIS IS THE SOLUTION:
Boot phone without any SIm card inserted:
GO TO EMERGENCY DIALER> ENTER #073887*
THEN PUT THE UNLOCK CODE!!
Once you unlock the phone, how do u get on another carrier? For example, I have my Cliq with Tmobile but I want to use it on AT&T because they have 3G service in my area. There’s a option in the settings to select AT&T as the service provider, but it doesn’t work (because my phone isnt unlocked yet). Once i unlock it, can I simply select them as my provider, even with a tmobile sim? Or do I have to buy a new sim from AT&T?
I’m ready to throw this fone. I’ve tried about everything to get my second cliq to unlock, I have a valid sim but it won’t read the card-why? The retailer put sim n a diferent fone and it worked so why won’t it read on my cliq? Help
Truth about Motorola and CLIQ
I live outside the US and I bought a Tmobile CLIQ second hand from an online auction site. The previous owner got the unlock code from Tmobile so it worked with local gsm provider for a while.
One day I received a message informing about an update which I accepted. It could not finish the ota update complaining about not being able to mount a file.
I had to wipe the phone using the recovery menu.
Motorola live support pointed me to the manual update, which again failed in the middle complaining about failing to verify signature of the update file.
Again, I had to wipe the phone using the recovery menu.
After that, the phone has started informing me about the update that it will not able to finish EVERY HOUR.
I cannot turn the notification off and the phone is practically useless.
Motorola refuses to help any further because I am outside the US. There is no local Motorola office.
My mistake was to trust Motorola brand and buy its supposedly global, gsm phone.
If you live in the US, Motorola might be OK as a local brand, but if you have the slightest possibility of using it overseas, DON’T BUY Motorola phones.
I REPEAT. DON’T BUY MOTOROLA PHONES IF YOU WILL USE THEM OVERSEAS.
Works like a charm!!!
thanks Rodrigo!!!
Hi, about that Rodrigo´s say:
THIS IS THE SOLUTION:
Boot phone without any SIm card inserted:
GO TO EMERGENCY DIALER> ENTER #073887*
THEN PUT THE UNLOCK CODE!!

don´t work, y enter the code #073887* , aftr, the unlock code and nothing……
Anybody got a solution for a hardlocked cliq? Mine won’t recognize any type of sim card. I think the previous owner may have used the wrong unlock code (provided by tmobile)
Thanks for any help
