Hi,
I just bought a fido moto renew w233 to use with my speakout sim card, but when I insert the sim card the phone asks for a "subsidy password". Is there any way around this?
Thanks

Your moto renew w233 phone is locked to FIDO. The phone will need to be unlocked to work with speak out. Sadly, I know of no free way to do it. There are vendors on the net that for a fee, claim they can unlock the phone, but I do not know how reliable they are.

Unfortunately, you can not use a SpeakOut sim in a phone that's locked to Fido. However, a SpeakOut sim will work fine in a phone that's locked to Rogers.
