If the SIM is “locked” with an unknown PIN, contact your carrier for assistance.

If your phone is “carrier locked” so that it will not use the SIM of your chosen carrier; your options are quite limited.


Only the locking carrier can unlock the phone, but if you’re not one of their subscribers … they have no economic incentive to do so.
