    Just for your information...... The unlock codes given above are an unlock bypass ( samsung Z500 etc )- they simply unlock and relock the phone to the next sim card put in the phone - you will need to follow this procedure as many times as you need to change the network on your phone ( probably only once !! ) Not an unlock but a relock to a different network !

    Have just tried another sim in my phone and it wants a sim lock code - not the pin code or unlock code - anyone know if there is a default code? Nothing in the instruction book about the code and I don't remember enabling it.

    sounds like the phone is locked to one network
    what make/model is it?

    impossible to change s/w without direct connection
    have you tried doing the code again?

    yup, no change, still asking for a sim code when new sim entered regardless of the network.

    does the original voda sim that it came with still work?
    maybe some models have a later s/w to stop the code working then?
    will need direct unlock or remote code from here:

    original sim still works - don't to pay £15 to have it unlocked as I don't think that's the problem.
  • Put in al Zeros .. that is the usual Samsung code.
