Skip what I said and do what JS says below!

You need to be careful NOT to enter the unlock code incorrectly 5 times, it will lock permanently to the branded carrier.

Here are good instructions, if your unlock code is good, you should be good.

***** You must have a SIM card in your phone to complete these steps ( Can be active or inactive ) *****


1. Go to settings menu => and then Options

I USED UP MY CHANCES WHAT DO I DO NOW?

Oh no! All FIVE? If so, I am sorry to say that your phone is now permanently locked to it's current carrier. If you are switching carriers then your only option is to sell to phone to someone who plans on using the carrier it is on.

Sorry!

Sell it to someone who doesn't need an unlocked device, and then buy a new one and try again.
