Do we have way to unlock the sim cards in our WinPhos yet? I've looked around quite a bit but all I'm finding is dev unlocks which I already have. I'm really trying to avoid calling my carrier for a subsidy code or trusting some website to provide it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Dial ##782# to Sim Unlock your Phone
Interesting. I am looking for a way to sim unlock my hd7. I didn't know about this code I typed it in and got a message saying it is already unlocked I am running deepshining V3. I tried it on my girlfriends stock hd7 mango and got the same message. I hope it is this simple. I will try a non o2 sim and see what happens. Cheers for the tip

Same here, said I'm already unlocked. I need to find a T-Mobile sim to give this a shot...I too hope it's really as simple as this...
This did not unlock my sim card slot btw. Put a t-mobile sim in my phone and it rejected it while asking for the subsidy code.
Any other ideas from the crowd?
Call your provider and tell them you are going to be traveling to Europe for the holidays and you want to get a local sim card while you are there. They will send you an unlock code for free. Easy enough.

Contact vodafone for an unlock code or contact the ebay guy in the main sticky who you can get the same code off of (in minutes usually) for a small price

This. I have the same problem (different country and carrier). I put in a different SIM and no place for me to add an unlock code (if I get one).
depends on where you are going to and what you will be using the most.
i use VF passport and euro data, keeps costs down quite a bit although if you are going to be hammering the data then a 'local' sim card might be best
can you not just get a 'local' vf sim for where you are travelling to? it might work

yes ,im pretty sure abt that,
and im going to china where the vodafone passport does not cover,so i have to get a local one to save cost
I haven't bothered asking my carrier because I'm not even prompted for a code when adding a different SIM. I wouldn't know what to do with it if I had it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
mine asked me when i put a new sim in but the instructions from the guy slelling the codes suggested the following in his email
"To unlock your phone, please put a SIM card from another network that not same as your phone locked to, then input the unlock code above. You might need to disable or input your simcard's PIN first before entering the unlock code.
You can also try dialing #7465625*638*# and then input the unlock code."

ah thats a shame.
I would try a different sim in it anyway just to be sure as i am sure i read that the GN would be unlocked
i just called the vodafone adviser and he said my friend who is eligible to unlock a phone can unlock my phone for me .sounds great to me

r u sure about the "unlock" is for network instead of the lock of bootloader?

this is what it says regarding the NUC
We’ll supply a Network Unlock Code (NUC) for you if you've bought a phone from us on either pay monthly or pay as you go. An NUC allows you to use non-Vodafone SIM cards with your Vodafone phone. If the unlock code is held in our systems, you’ll receive the unlock code and instructions by email within 24 hours. If the unlock code isn’t held by us, you’ll get an email confirming your request has been received - and that the turnaround time is 48 hours for all makes except Samsung, which is 7-10 working days.
You can only get unlock codes for the numbers on your account. If you have two mobile numbers on your account, then you can get two free unlock codes. There’s usually no charge for these network unlock codes.
Most pay monthly phones and devices are not network locked. Before requesting a network unlock code, please try a non-Vodafone SIM card and check for error messages.
so if you have a different sim lying about or a friend on a different network give it a try i would give it a go but all my work sims went back to the office for christmas

no ,im in ireland
google brand-animation-loading apps-go to lock screen says "emergency calls only"at the bottom-after unlock the screen it goes to homescreen-when i trying to make a phone call ,it says mobile network not available
my GN says 'emergency calls' until its unlocked then it goes to the homescreen.
when you unlock the phone does it display any sort of signal strength or not?
there might be something odd with using a chinese sim card in ireland, can you try a sim card from one of the other Irish operators?

I have purchased an LG Optimus LTE P930 phone from someone on Kijiji and the phone is locked to bell but when I go to throw a different sim card in to unlock it I get "this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked". is there anyways to fix this issue?
Yeah, you need to find someone who can get your NCK unlock code. I got mine from a guy on eBay for like $3. Then dial 2945#*930# and enter the unlock code you are given. Easy peasy.
You might try these guys.
it does not give me an option at type in a NCK code as soon as it turns on with wrong sim it just pop's up with that same error
I don't understand, can you not dismiss the error and continue using the phone and then type in that number I gave you? If all else fails, maybe you can remove your SIM card and dial the number that way? As I recall, I had 0 issues unlocking my phone and I didn't even have a SIM card in it when I did it if I remember correctly...
A "freeze" usually happens after too many NCK attempt, usually 10.
what you would be looking for is an "unfreeze" code.
But if your Bell SIM still works it sounds like it is a service provider lock -SPCK- which is similar to network locked.
There may be a dialer code to reset attempt count, may also be able to binary edit it.
I reocmmend trying a site like this http://www.unlockallcellular.com/lg-nitro-hd-unlock-code-p-198068.html
there may be afew other, even on ebay. I would get with one that provides a guarantee. Usually invloves taking a video of you entering code to prove if it works or not. If not they will refund your money.
be patient as it could take a day or two.
I once paid $70 to unlock my dell streak 7.
Cheers.
did you manage to fix this? I'm having the same issue
Any solution i got this same issue on my G2 D802
My at&t pantech p6020 phone is saying that sim is locked and when I try to unlock it it says the incorrect unlock code was entered ten times this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked. What should I do? help me please
Hi guys!
I was one of the unfortunate people to buy a locked EE Google Pixel, I have unlocked the bootloader using dePixel, but when inserting my sim from another network it is still showing the SIM as un-compatible. I am wondering if anyone can help me out with this? Thanks!
An unlocked bootloader is different than unlocking a sim-locked phone. The first link below suggests your service provider sells sim-locked phones, so like you're describing, I would not expect the phone to work with another service's SIM. I'm not familiar with your service provider, so I would refer to something like the second link.

Hello,
Bought Razr 5g at&t, have unpaid case lock USA.
live outside usa, so if unlock no problem for me or operator.
have bought unlock service several times on ebay, on some websites but they can not unlock.
what can i do? find another services to unlock or wait maybe after some time it will be more easy to get codes? which trusted websites or ebay service you know?
I know I'm replying pretty late to this however we are not the only ones that have looked into this subject. If the Motorola RAZR 5g is from att and you just got it att will not let you sim unlock until after a year of service with the device ce. After a year you can request a sim unlock and will email you a code for free to unlock it. I've done it yesterday without a hitch. If you purchased the device from somebody from online then you may try calling att customer service explaining that you want to unlock the sim for a different service and they may or may not unlock. If the device is reported lost or stolen then obviously they will deny the request. When I bought my RAZR 5g I also tried unlocking websites and failed. I received a code however the code did not work at all. Remember to many attempts and it will lock you out. Unfortunately their is no website that can unlock it without the carrier permission
