If you are needing to Unlock GSM Motorola Startacs and other old GSM Motorolas using a SIM card emulator I have wrote a guide to show you how. I have seen people on YouTube love to keep it secret so I'll show you how. However it is not easy to do and it does not work on most phones after 1998.

Using ASIM to get into Clone mode
Some knowledge of using MS DOS will help.
- Fire up your DOS computer (Win 95 to Win 98 should work but DOS Box and WinME might not work)
- Run ASIM.EXE
- Under File select Sim and load CLONE.DAT
- Under Clone select Load frame and select SPUL.BIN
- Under Clone select RUN
- On your phone type 03#
- Your phone should say PLAESE WAIT.
- After about 5 to 30 seconds PLEASE WAIT will go back to Clone on the phone screen
- Turn off the phone and remove the sim and battery and then restart the phone
How to change COM ports
Open the Clone.DAT file with notepad or type "edit clone.dat" in dos and you will see how to edit com ports.
