How to Unlock a Rogers Phone for Free

1. Dial *#06# on your handset to display the IMEI number. This is the fifteen digit identification number for your particular handset. The Rogers Wireless representative will request this code to generate the unlock code.
2. Dial *611 from your mobile to contact the customer service department. Request the subsidy unlock code. It may help to explain to them that you need the option to use prepaid SIM cards from other countries.
3. Ask the customer service representative for specific instructions on how to enter the unlock code on your handset or consult an online guide (see Resources).
4. Follow the instructions to enter the subsidy unlock code on your handset. Each brand has different requirements and steps to enter the unlock code. Some require the use of a SIM card from a different network, while others require a special sequence of numbers or button combinations before entering the code. The phone unlocks automatically once the proper code is entered.
