Your network provider will give you a SIM card to unlock your phone.
Norbsoft's Mobile Toolbox is a mobile phone application that includes a stopwatch, timer, value converter, graphics and games. If you want to switch network providers, you must unlock your mobile phone to use Mobile Toolbox. Many third-party websites and businesses provide unlocking services, but the easiest way to unlock your phone is through your network provider.
Instructions
1. Enter "*#06#" (without quotes) using your phone's keypad. Press the "SEND" or "CALL" button. This gives you your mobile phone's 15-digit IMEI number. Write it down and keep it in a safe place.
2. Call your network provider. The phone number should be on the website or your last monthly statement. Ask the representative for an unlock code. She will probably ask you to provide your IMEI number and verify your account number, full name and street address. Write down the unlock code. This service will probably include a fee.
3. Remove the protective cover from the back of your mobile phone. Take out the battery and your old SIM card. The SIM card will be located under your battery. It looks similar to a computer microchip. Lift up the SIM card with your fingernail.
4. Insert your new provider's SIM card. Listen for a snap, which lets you know that it is in place. Replace the battery and protective cover.
5. Turn on your mobile phone. Enter the unlock code. Press the "OK" button. Your phone will activate to the network.
6. Press the "MENU" button. Using the navigational buttons, go to "Media Files." Highlight the Mobile Toolbox with the navigational buttons. Press "OK" to launch it.
