I have an LG G5 phone and I'm changing providers. I insert my new sim card and turn the phone on, but nothing comes up saying enter unlock code. I was using US Cellular before.

Well, over the weekend I tried to unlock the phone on my own and I felt and did most of the steps but others I couldn't complete. I never entered the unlocked code into the window that asks for it after inputing the 4 digit sim unlocked. I had given up, and asked a friend who has been a customer with Tmobile to ask for the unlocked code for me....He Did and I just got it 1 hr ago.
Something strange happened now that I tried to put in the code.
I Don't see the Screen to input the UNLOCK code. After typing in 4 digit code to unlock SIM, it goes straight to phone and the network been detected is ATT. I guess whatever I did on the weekend did unlock the phone. I just called myself and it says, "Your Call did not go through"
Also I started to received SMS from the SIM Provider (TMN PORTUGAL) about the credit available for calls and about Roaming....
What do you guys think? What else should I test? Did I unlocked this by accident?
I have a TMo phone unlocked with a WIND Mobile sim. I have already PUK unlocked the SIM when I first use the phone. However, I randomly getting PUK locked message in the morning. I restart the phone. Message goes away. I don't get it. Is it something wrong with the SIM, the provider, or the phone? I can't find any information on that regard online. I do have the SIM PUK code from my provider.
Use the PUK code that Wind gave you.
i did but the warning screen pops up after a day or two. That is the part i don't get.
Puk codes are generated from the Sim card, suppose to happen when the security pin on the Sim card is entered wrong to many times.. There's also more than one pin and puk, usually referred to pin 1 and 2, which generates puk 1 and puk 2.
my guess is if it keeps happening, you might want to replace your sim.

To unlock an atrix 4g, you must have the unlock code: I have it from att,
Second you must have a non att simcard or sim card from a different carrier, I borrowed one, from some weird pre pay off brand phone,
I inserted the sim card, booted the phone, but it goes to the att drops logo animation, then reboots, and never gets farther than that,
It supposed to come to a screen that gives ya the option to enter an unlock code...
Its never been rooted or anything completely stock from att. anyone know why it keeps rebooting? Is there any other way to enter the unlock code?
att had me dial a number then enter the code after that, but it never worked and att said to just find a non carrier sim card..
Sprint internationally unlocked my phone for my move to Germany. I signed up with T-mobile (Germany) and the phone works flawlessly as it pertains to voice and data. The only issue is that every time I restart the phone, or in the event the battery dies, I have to manually enter the Sim Unlock code each time, prior to using the phone. The 2 x Iphones my other family members use, have an option which saves the sim unlock code and thus, there is no requirement for them to manually input the SIm code each time their phones restart.
Is there a way to do this with the SM-N900P?
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 ?
