Normally you would know who your carrier might be, because you pay them every month for cell and phone service. Did you just acquire the phone?


Tap Settings

Tap Cellular


Look just under the Personal Hotspot listing and the name of the carrier should be displayed, likely in faint print.


Only the carrier can unlock the phone.
