your best off going direct to tmobile and seeing if they will sell you it - usually £15, I've seen many threads where people have paid for codes on various unlock sites for the defy and the codes haven't worked.

The phone is someones unwanted upgrade and they cant be bothered to get it unlocked

The UK T-Mobile version is black all over. I don't recall a Motoblur logo but there may be one. The phone is my girlfriend's and she's not around this evening so I can't check.

EDiT : There is an "M" for Motorola symbol on the back and the word "blur" following it. They are both pretty discrete and I would say near enough inconsequential. They are slightly raised and match the colour of the phone, but are shiny rather than the matt finish of the rest of the back. They might simply be stickers, but as it's not my phone I'm not going to start trying to prise them off.

I've successfully unlocked a T-Mobile (U.S.) Defy.  The first code I got was unsuccessful but I got a more expensive one (16 digit) that worked.  It was from http://theunlock.ca/ using the manufacturer method.  PM if you need more info.

Wanted 50$ for unlock code! I think that the best way is to just call T-Mobile and buy their code...

hi.. I just got my t-mobile moto defy unlocked for $18 by a website called swiftunlocks.com..

my uncle bought this phone for me from someone who got it in the oprah winfrey show.. it turns out that the phone needs unlock code directly from motorola, not from t-mobile.. my uncle had asked t-mobile for unlock code, they gave him 8 digit code that doesn't worked.. then he contact swiftunlocks.com and they gave the 16digit code directly from motorola..

i tried the 16digit code, and it works..!!

just want to share some experience..

Let me know if you need help for unlocking your phone

There's a new method to unlock the Defy WITHOUT an unlock code (i.e. unlock it by software that is free to download). Why pay when it can be done for free!!

There's a very good tutorial Soft Unlocking Defy with CM7.1 and Debricking Defy  

It's a lot easier than you think.
