locked phone can anyone help

zarbie

I have a Siemens CL 75 phone with a current Virgin SIM.Virgin are upgrading SIM and have sent a replacement one.My mobile is showing MEP lock failed when using the replacement SIM .Virgin have stated I need to start using the replacement SIM quickly as they will be disconnecting the old SIM. Does anyone know what to do with the message MEP lock failed.

You should really start your own thread for this question rather than tagging onto an existing thread...

From memory MEP lock is a something to do with the phone not being properly unlocked from it's original network?
I'm sure someone will either confirm that, or correct me. . .

Sorry had never posted anything other than a letter before and first time user on the site so was not aware that I should have used Thread.
I dont know where to get an unlock code for an old Siemens CL 75.Its odd that I am having to input this when I am not changing Network.
