enter network lock control key

Have just had a Samsung phone unlocked, then moved my sim from my usual Samsung handset to the 'unlocked' one and switched on - "enter network lock control key" comes up. Does this mean the shop which 'unlocked' it failed, or is this simply another hoop to go through in changing handsets? Incidentally I'm with Tesco.

    Yeah take it back if you had it done by a shop sounds like they have not got all the codes.

    when i unlocked my samsung galaxy they sent me 3 codes but luckily
    i only needed to use one of the codes and phone as been ok since
    Don't know how it works but there are different locks on the phone.
