Hi, I have been given the unlock code to remove the Vodafone network lock if i want to use it on another network, I'd like to use the code to unlock it but i don't have a non Vodafone sim, is there a way around having a different sim like bu using a *#000# code to bring up the code prompt?
I want to unlock now so i don't have to keep the code on me in case i want to use a friends sim.
Thanks for your time

Not that I know of.. pick up a free prepaid sim? Ask a friend if you can borrow their sim for 1 min?

Well, if the phone its locked to AT&T then you call AT&T. There is no way to unlock now though from what I understand unless of course AT&T can for you. This its why you should NEVER just guess at the unlock coffee and instead call the company you bought the phone from or get an unlock code online for less then $20 usually.
To check root install an app that needs root (root explorer works, as does any other asp that says needs root)

I have a SE X10 that my wife uses as a small tablet. Now she wants to put a sim card in it for just data. I want to remove the sim lock so that I can use it on another provider but I'm a DIY guy and would rather use ADB or some software to accomplish this rather then spend $20 to get an unlock code.
Is there any software or combination of steps that I can use to remove the network lock?
To clarify am I looking for a sim unlock or does that refer to unlocking the sim pin?
Does anyone know where I can get free unlock codes for my AT&T Jetstream tablet?
Does anyone know of a location to bring my AT&T Jetstream tablet into in the NYC & NNJ areato get it unlocked. Please help.
what do you want to unlock? SIM, bootloader, ???
If you plan to travel and need to change the SIM, call AT&T customer service they will give you the SIM unlock code.
If you want to unlock the bootloader and change the Kernel and/or ROM go to htcdev.com and unlock.
I did it in eBay for $3 (SIM-unlock)

I need to borrow a Sim card from someone so I can unlock the Sim. I was told that will prompt me to enter a code to unlock it. Will ANY Sim work? Even if it is a Nextel Sim card?

Any sim will work-inserting it will prompt you for a code. But to get the code, you need to get the unlock code from either AT&T or use online sim unlock sites.
Regarding the borrow part, you can just use your regular mobile's sim to unlock it. However I think there was a thread that had something about some changes with the data and stuff with AT&T happening on removing the sim. Read it up and make sure to get AT&T's help once you change your sim back to their's after whatever use you intend to do.

What do you mean aboutbchanges with the data? If I will be using another carrier then what do I care about AT& T's data changes?

I thought you might be going back to AT&T. Hence. Any case if you plan on shifting permanently, just go ahead.

What I would be hoping for now that I have gotten my HTC Jetstream Tablet SIM Unlocked, is that CLEAR comes out with SIM Cards. CLEAR has Modems, Hotspots, and USB Hotspots. They should come out with SIM Cards now since there are a LOT more devices that can use them for just the reason of why people get the Mobile Hotspots.
Here is my story:
I bought my friend's Telus locked S6 Edge last week when he upgraded to the new S8. Right now I am am using Virgin as my service provider and bought an Unlock code from an online third party and that code did not work. While the third party unlock shop was helping me figure out my the problem a third attempt at entering the code caused the error message to change to asking for a PUK code. I got my PUK code for my SIM card from my Virgin account and that fixed nothing. Phone is still asking for the PUK code. I contacted Virgin and they updated my account with the S6 Edge's IMEI number but after 24 hours the new code (which was still the same digits) also did not work. I have since tried three other active SIM cards from different subscribers from friends and relatives. All cards are asking for a PUK code. If I put in the original owner's SIM cards the phone works without a problem.
I contacted Telus and bought the Unlock code directly from them (it was different from the code I got online confirming this all started because of a bad code), and it was also rejected, but the phone is asking for a PUK code so I was not surprised. I tried to force the SIM unlock with the Telus SIM inserted by using the #7465625*638*# to bring up the network unlock prompt and using the new Telus provided code, but it came back as unsuccessful.
Have I somehow screwed up my new to me phone? Can anyone help?

The PUK code needs to come from the original network it was locked to. As you have tried that and it didn't work I'm also confused as to why it won't unlock.
Right so.....
It will usually ask for a PUK code when the phone has a SIM lock enabled. Then if the SIM lock is entered incorrectly 3 times it will ask for a PUK code, obtained from the network to unlock it again.
Did your friend have SIM lock enabled?

With my friend's SIM inserted in the phone it works like the day he got it. No prompts for codes or PUK warnings.

I just realized I did not understand the question. My friend never enabled any SIM lock. He did not even know that was a thing.
Did you find the solution as i am having exactly the same issue on my phone ?
I bought the phone on eBay, and it's a UK phone, originally on the BT/EE network. I was promised by the seller that the phone would be unlocked.
After inserting my local network SIM card (from carrier in Denmark), the following message is displayed: 'SIM network PIN blocked. Enter SIM network PUK'.
How do I unlock the phone to be used with any SIM?
RossTeagan said:
This means that the previous user, or somebody else, tried to use another code instead of the NCK (SIM network PIN) code and freezed the device, this is why it asks now for the SIM network PUK (https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/fix-sim-network-pin-blocked-enter-sim-network-puk-message/).
You will need now bot the MCK (defreeze code to defreeze the device) and then the NCK (Sim network unlock Pin) to actually unlock your phone.

No it's not that! Your sim came with a code, 0000 or 1234. If you tried for more than 3 times to unlock sim with a wrong code, the phone ask for PUK code. This code is provided by your carrier with you sim. Now there are two posibilities: you entered the wrong pin for more than three times so you must contact your carrier to provide PUK or the seller has done that and you need his PUK code.
By the way, your phone should work with another sim! You could try that to confirm that the phone is working ok

There's a difference between the PIN code and the SIM network unlock PIN. They might look the same way, but there's a difference.
And the message "SIM network PIN blocked, Enter SIM network PUK" is related to the phone's network codes. Notice the "network" before PIN and PUK

Just ask somebody who has this issue, when the phone displays this message, how many digits they can input in the field if they can input 4(for a normal SIM PIN) or 6 for the actual SIM network unlock PIN

For free nobody! I payed 50 euros to Vodafone for network unlock.
There are services from 18 to 30 USD, just search for sim unlock sprint on google.
I'm having this problem but the SIM PUK isn't working please advise
I got my Galaxy S9 SIM Network unlock PUK from UnlockBoot - they generated the code remotely in 10 minutes. I contacted Samsung and AT&T support but they refused to give me the network unlock PUK. UnlockBoot managed that in 10 min. You can use them also.

If your asking how to unlock your sprint phone because and you do not have the money to pay it off then no one can or will be able to help you.
Someone else asked that kind of question (different carrier though) already, and the link below was the response from a moderator
