Unlock a SIM Card Locked Off a Tracfone
Tracfone provides pay-as-you go and prepaid plans to families and individuals. If you received your Tracfone as a free gift or if you received it through the mail, this means that your SIM card has a lock on it. The lock on your SIM card prevents you (or others) from accessing the Tracfone network. To unlock your phone, you need a 15-digit International Mobility Equipment Identification (IMEI) number. This helps Tracfone to identify the unlock code for your phone's SIM card.
Instructions
1. Input the code *#06# into your phone's keypad. Press the "SEND" button. Listen for the IMEI number, which you will need to provide to receive an unlock code.
2. Contact your Tracfone cell phone provider. Ask the representative for an unlock code. Give the representative your phone's IMEI number, model number and manufacturer's name.
3. Turn over your Tracfone. Remove the protective cover. Take out the battery and place the SIM card underneath. Replace the battery and protective cover.
4. Input the unlock code as provided by your cell phone provider. Press the "OK" button. Your Tracfone should allow you to access the network.
