    It would appear that my phone is locked to networks other than Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury.
    I think this is impossible if it worked on these networks.

    How can I unlock it to Delight's network, preferably for free?

    Asda was on Vodafone, now EE, Tesco are on O2 and Sainsbury's are on (for another six days) on Vodafone, Delight is on EE, so it appears the phone is not locked to any network. However "ENTER NCK" suggests otherwise.

    Alcatel have made more than one phone model but you have given no detail other than is is old.

    It has in it's time had an ASDA SIM, a TESCO SIM and a SAINSBURY SIM and it was unlocked when I bought it.

    Sainsbury were Voda, Asda were then went to EE Oct 2013, are you sure Tesco sim worked because they have always used o2 as o2 own 50% of Tesco Mob.


    If it did work with Tesco then at some point your mobile got network locked, did it go for repair anytime ?
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)
  • I strongly suggest you to get a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 ! It is an awesome phone with Dual sim, 4G, microSD, best camera quality and many other attractive specifications. The most important thing is that it falls in your budget and will solve your 3G issue too. Sharing my shopping experience, I have bought different tech and electronic stuff from this online seller T-dimension, the most recent one being my unlocked silver Note 5; they have some great discount sometimes and fast delivery plus VAT free as well. You can have a look !
