What codes do I have to enter to find out if my phone is sim locked or unlocked?

Hi All
Though the title says it all... Here is the problem/question:
> I have a carrier unlocked Atrix working great in India
> I intend to unlock the bootloader.
> Will unlocking bootloader bring the phone back factory settings? Will I have to AGAIN carrier-unlock it?
I bought the phone from EBay and it was already carrier unlocked. I dont have the code with me so just wanted to be sure before proceeding with bootloader-unlock.
Hope someone helps!
Thanks!
NO.
I have SIM Unlocked my phone from 4.1.26, i unlocked my bootloader at 4.1.83 and nothing happened to the sim unlocking.
SIM Unlocked never can be gone.
Is there a fuse that gets blows when the SIM is unlocked?

No. The fuse gets "burnt" only when you unlock the bootloader.
My hand got burnt when I unlocked my SIM.
I have unlocking code. There is other way to unlock then insert a non accepted simcard ?
Thanks.
BUMP!!!!
Hi,
I have a noob question. When you unlock bootloader, that's mean is SIM Unlock or it's completly different ? I know SIM unlock is to go with any phone company.
Thank you.
Completely different things. With the bootloader unlocked, you're able to install custom kernels, but the SIM Lock will remains (if you have it).
My phone is currently sim locked to my carrier but I want to unlock my sim as I am planning on switching to a different carrier. I've been reading about unlocking the bootloader and it seems there are issues with using 3rd party simunlocks before unlocking the bootloader unless you are using an setool2 unlock.
setool2 is far to expesnive for me and I would rather use a cheaper 3rd party unlock code. My question is if i were to do the bootloader unlock first since my phone is still locked...and then after my bootloader has been unlocked apply a 3rd party sim unlock code, will this cause issues?
Everything i've been reading about is about people doing sim unlock FIRST and then doing bootloader unlock. But i want to do bootloader unlock first and then do simunlock AFTER.

I wanted to know the Exact same thing... I just got an unlock code from cellunlocker. but when i put in a diff sim card it says sim is perso locked. that's besides the point. I read that by doing bootloader unlock the cell manufacturer drops the IMEI i believe from the update list. Idk if they do it for the unlock code list too. or just drops your IMEI all together. I want to figure this out before doing a bootloader unlock...
