Unlocking an android phone like an LG phone doesn’t really asks for a set of complicated procedures. Just like most, it follows a set of 3-4 instructions to make an LG carrier-unlocked. Although it varies per model, you only need to take note of the specific code it’s asking for.

Remember: TMobile USA and MetroPCS has pre-installed the Mobile Device Unlock App on your LG phone and that means there’s NO NEED FOR A CODE to unlock your phone. More information about mobile device unlock here.

Here’s a list of possible codes your phone might ask you for:

• IMEI_NO = IMEI (It’s not a code, just ignore this)
• NCK = SIM_Unlock = Network Lock = SIM Network Unlock PIN
• NSCK = Network Subset Lock
• SPCK = SP_Lock = Service Provider Lock
• CPCK = Corporate Lock
• SIMCK = SIM/USIM Lock
• SPC = Useless just ignore
• OTKSL = Useless just ignore

Woah! That’s a lot, but most LG models only asks for 3 codes: NCK, NSCK, and SPCK. We usually send you three to five different sets of codes but only one gets your phone unlocked, so be very careful to read the screen prompt because you only have 10 chances of getting it right!

If you fail 2 or 3 times, please contact us. We have 24/7 support that can help you unlock your device or tell you what’s wrong. Save your unlock attempts and contact us right away!

Generally speaking, here’s how you unlock an LG (not-model specific):

1. Insert a non-accepted SIM.
2. Turn ON device.
3. Screen prompt asking for a code (NCK, NSCK, SPCK).
4. Read email instructions before entering the code.
5. Enter the code being asked for.
6. Your LG phone is now successfully unlocked!

Ideally, your phone should prompt for the “SIM Unlock Code” screen automatically, but if it doesn’t do that, here’s how you get it:

• Dial 2945#*ModelNumber#

If in the unlikely chance that doesn’t work, you can try:

• Dial *#865625#

Now, you might be wondering how to type the letter on the dialer but it doesn’t have to be as complicated as you think.

If for example your phone is an LG G3, find out its exact version. For example, AT&T LG G3 is version number D850, so this is what you type in the dialer:

• 2945#*850#

Another example is the LG G3 from T-Mobile. Its exact version is D851, so this is what you type in the dialer:

• 2945#*851#

If you don’t know where to get the exact model and version number of your phone, there are two ways to find out:

1. Go to Settings ⇨ About.
2. Remove your phone’s back cover and you will see the exact model number on the rear housing.

Easy as that!

Now, don’t worry about having to go that route. It is not going to be complicated. Here’s how you can unlock your phone from there:

1. Insert a non-accepted SIM card
2. Dial 2945#*ModelNumber#
3. Select “Network Lock” or “Service Provider Lock”
4. Enter the Unlock Code it is asking for. Remember there are several code types, pick the specific code it is asking for
5. Some phones ask you to enter the same code twice, otherwise just follow the screen prompt.
6. Click “Done”
7. Click “Unlock”
8. Your phone might reboot. If it doesn’t you will see the signal bars lighting up.
9. Congratulations! Your device is not permanently unlocked.

Ideally, it should prompt for “Invalid Smart Chip Error” or “Phone Restricted”. If you are seeing that you can just hit “Cancel” and proceed on the “SIM Unlock Code” screen just oOn the other hand, if it doesn’t prompt for you to enter an unlock code, please follow the next steps.

There are exemptions to this, though, here are some LG models who have unique sim unlocking process.

• LG P769 Optimus L9 – It’s almost the same as others’ but you don’t need to insert a non-accepted SIM card to get it unlocked. Follow the above steps to start the unlock process.

• LG Fathom VS750 – There’s no need to remove the sim or change into a different one. Just go to Settings ⇨ Advanced Settings ⇨ Personal ⇨ Security ⇨ Hit “Sim Lock” ⇨ Enter Code ⇨ Phone unlocked

• LG GD570 – For this model, you’ll have to keep the carrier sim card. Follow the steps below to unlock your phone.

1. Dial *#865625#
2. Hit OK on screen prompt
3. Type the code twice
4. Hit OK
5. Wait for the phone to reboot and load up
6. Your phone is now successfully unlocked!

How To Troubleshoot Common LG Unlock Errors

We want to save you from all the technicalities of error messages, but we will list the common error messages that won’t ask you to call for customer service because the troubleshooting steps are straightforward and easy. So, here we go!

Error 1: “Enter Code” prompt does not appear

After dialing the code or inserting a non-carrier SIM you are supposed to see a prompt that would ask you to enter the code, otherwise, that’s both a good news and a bad news.

Good news: Your phone was already unlocked, you just didn’t know. 

Bad news: Your SIM card slot is broken or your device’s IMEI is blacklisted by the original owner.

The last one you can easily rule out if you are the original owner of the phone but you can try to isolate and troubleshoot further. If you’re lost, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Also, it is recommended to turn off your phone, remove the battery, and wait for a short while before powering the phone back on. You can also try to remove or re-insert the SIM card while on the process.

Error 2: “Code Error” or “Sim Network Unlock Unsuccessful”

If you are getting this error, it means that the code we gave you didn’t work or you entered the wrong code.

To isolate the issue let us start from the basi. If the code was wrong, you might have given us the wrong information about your phone’s IMEI, model number, or locked-to carrier. In that case, we have to generate another code for a new IMEI, which discredits you of a refund.

To troubleshoot further, always make sure to follow our email instructions when entering the code. As mentioned we usually generate 3-5 unlocking codes, but you’ll only use one and it depends entirely on what you are being prompted on your phone screen.

Remember, you don’t have unlimited unlock attempts. So if you get it wrong at three times, save your remaining attempts and don’t hesitate to contact us.

Error 3: Asking for “PUK” or “Security Pin” or “Password”

If you are prompted for a “PUK”, “Security Pin”, or “Password”, it is asking for a user-set password or pin to operate or device. If you are the original user, you should be able to figure out this on your own.

Error 4: No service

If you are still not getting any service, it means your phone is already successfully unlocked but it isn’t detecting your new carrier’s network. To resolve this, you have to manually enter your new network under your phone’s APN settings.

If you can make calls or texts but internet or data, you have to double check your phone’s compatibility to your new carrier’s network frequency.

How to Figure Out if Your Phone is Unlocked?

1. For iOS phone, simply navigate your phone’s settings and look for Cellular Data Network. If it’s present, then your phone may be unlocked given that this section allows users to manually change their phone’s carrier.
2. For Android phone, proceed to your phone’s settings and look for the Network Operator option. Scan for networks and select one to try if it works. If it does, your phone may be unlocked.
3. In general, people try to swap out their SIM cards with a different carrier’s SIM and tries to make a call if it works.
4. Another alternative way to check your phone’s lock status is through your IMEI number and enter this on an IMEI checker website.

“Having my phone unlocked is the sweetest way to communicate when I travel.” – said every traveler out there. Truth be told, when traveling out of the country, it can be very frustrating to commit to expensive roaming charges. Unlike carrier phones, unlocked phones allow you to swap out your SIM to any local SIM card wherever you are. Furthermore, you get to spend your money for other expenses. However, how would you know if your phone’s unlocked?

Without further ado, here are some amazing ways to figure out if your phone’s unlocked!

How to Figure Out if iOS Phone is Unlocked

In order to check if your iOS phone is unlocked, you may proceed to the cellular setting. While it may not exactly tell you that your phone’s unlocked, it’s a decent indicator that you may not swap out your SIM with a different one. Just make sure to follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings and look for Cellular.
2. Select Cellular and scroll to Cellular Data Network.

If the Cellular Data Network option is present, this may indicate that the phone is unlocked. Otherwise, it’s a carrier phone. This is due to the fact that this option allows the user to change carriers.

How to Figure Out if Android Phone is Unlocked

For Android phones, the indication that your phone may be an unlocked phone may seem similar with iOS phones. However, the procedure may depend on the version of the operating system and of course, the manufacturer. For the sole reason that interfaces may vary according to the brand’s customization.

Moving forward, here’s how you can figure out if your Android phone’s unlocked:

1. Go to Settings and proceed to Network/Mobile Network/Cellular Network (or however your phone refers to Network setting as this may differ with the brand).
2. Look for Network Operator and Search/Scan for networks.
3. Wait until it shows you the results.
4. Once the results show, try connecting on one of the networks and wait if your phone can pick up a signal.
5. If there is, try making a call.

So, here’s the thing: if your phone showed a list of different networks, it could be that your phone is unlocked. However, there are also cases that your carrier may have had arrangements with other carriers, hence, the connection.

If you are not satisfied with the result, you may still proceed with the general method of figuring out if your phone’s unlocked.

General Method of Figuring Out if Phone is Unlocked?

If you are having trouble figuring out whether your phone’s unlocked or not, you can always refer to this general method of doing so. Maybe then, you will be able to say: “Dude, my phone’s unlocked. ‘Gotta say goodbye to expensive roaming charges!”

First, look or borrow a different carrier’s SIM card. Then, simply swap out your existing SIM with it and then check your phone if it finds the network. This may appear in the form of signal bars or a prompt telling you that a new network has been inserted on your phone. Afterwards, try making a call. If it registers, then your phone’s unlocked. Otherwise, it’s not.

Alternative Way to Figure Out if Phone is Unlocked (via IMEI)

Well, if you are willing to go technical this time, you can move forward with International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) checking. You can get your IMEI information from your phone and enter this on an IMEI checker website to know the lock status of your phone. In order to get your IMEI information, dial *#060#. If this works on your phone, a 15-digit number will appear. Otherwise, you may navigate through your phone Settings and look for About Phone/Device. You may find an IMEI section there, and under it is the 15-digit number.

Here’s a sample video in getting your phone’s IMEI information (for Samsung Galaxy S4):

You may now enter the number in the checker and it will show you the lock status of your phone. However, the thing about this method is that there are websites that won’t be really accurate with the results. Thus, be sure to look for one that can do so.

Key Takeaway

 
Figuring out if your phone is unlocked can be easy – however way you choose to perform the checking. If a particular method wouldn’t work for you, you can always opt for an alternative.

Now, if you find out that yours is a locked phone, you can always choose to unlock it. There are convenient unlocking services like UnlockBase that will provide you the easiest, fastest, and safest service for unlocking your phone. No, we’re not kidding. Please feel free to contact us for further details!

Alcatel has moved their own standard when it comes to quality smartphones. With its aim to impress the market with its up-to-date technologies, this newly launched smartphone phablet is continuing the brand’s legacy when it comes to quality and affordable devices.

Display and Design

The Alcatel A30 Fierce (OT-5049Z) was released earlier this year. It is a good looking 2017 phablet considering its body structure and curvy edges that allow a good grip on the device.

• The unit weighs a decent 157g.
• It measures up to 5.98 x 3.04 x 0.33in (making it ideal for everyday use).

Definitely, the handset has provided smart detail allocation considering its placement of camera, sensors, and buttons. Going into front view, the speaker, front camera, and sensor take the upper part of the panel. The bottom part, on the other hand, looks seamless given that Alcatel has integrated the in-cell navigation buttons into the display. The phone also instills the usual volume rocker and power button setup on the right side. Flipping the phone, it has a surprising circular shaped fingerprint sensor with metal outline comes along with the LED flash and rear camera. Plus, of course, the Alcatel logo not far below.

Moving forward to its display, much can be said that A30 Fierce is not your typical phablet. Along with a good 5.5-inch 720p display, it also includes a 2.5D Dragontrail Glass screen panel that is capable of 16M colors at 267ppi pixel density, great for HD viewing.

Camera

Alcatel has stepped up their game when it comes to its camera. The handset is then equipped with a great 13MP rear camera that is capable of autofocus, panorama, and other special features that allow the unit to produce vibrant, HD photos that consumers can share on their social media accounts. Moreover, the unit is also capable of shooting videos at 30fps – and at 1080p max.

Not leaving the front-facing camera far behind, the A30 Fierce is also equipped with a 5MP front camera – which is best for taking the perfect selfies at any time of the day.

Connectivity and Network Performance

The Alcatel A30 Fierce phablet is serving consumers great connectivity protocols along with its carrier. The unit supports both 3G and 4G LTE network connections – ideal for fast, reliable network performance.

More so, the unit is also capable of Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 4.2, A-GPS, and Micro USB 2.0 connectivity. All necessary for usual phone activities such as sharing files, searching locations, and connecting to the internet.

Power and Battery

The A30 Fierce aims to cater to the need of consumers of a long lasting battery life, thus, the 3000mAh capacity of the unit’s non-removable battery. It is a particularly smart move given that the unit is also equipped with a Mediatek MT6738 processor along with a quad-core Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.5GHz. Thus, enabling a smooth turn-around of several tasks.

Memory and Software

With great battery life and processor, what more can Alcatel offer on its A30 Fierce? The answer is a good 2GB of RAM along with a 32GB built-in storage and a Micro SD slot in the event that the user wishes to extend the unit’s storage capacity.

Additionally, the Alcatel A30 Fierce thankfully runs in Android 7.0 Nougat and can still be upgraded to a newer version of the Android operating system.

Kyocera has been known to produce waterproof smartphones; great waterproof smartphones at that. Today, it did not only produce one waterproof smartphone, but one that every user will find very different from its Hydro series. It has moved the bar with its new and improved features, living up to its name Kyocera Hydro Elite.

Design

The Kyocera Hydro Elite comes in a simple, (though a bit bulk) black-colored plastic over-all design measuring up to 4.82 by 2.38 by 0.43 inches and weighing up to 4.52 ounces. However, unlike its predecessors, the Elite is more minimalistic and modern. More so, the edges were much more premium and sleek this time. The rear part also comes off as rubberized, thus, it is easier to hold the device.

The placement up front is pretty common, apart from the non-inclusion of the in-ear speaker. The selfie-camera is located beside the sensor for notifications at the upper half, and then the brand’s logo at the bottom. Going to the sides, the power button along with the 3.5mm audio jack is placed at the top, the volume rocker at the left, and the Micro USB port on the right. This makes it easier for the user to reach the necessary buttons whenever needed.

Similar to common placements, the rear camera is located at the back of the unit. It also has the speaker and the LED flash at the sides, creating a minimal yet not too distracting setup at the rear’s polished top half. However, the bottom half of the unit was differently designed given that it has a matte, dimpled texture that helps prevent the handset from slipping from the user’s grip. It makes sense as the bottom half is removable for the user to access the battery and the Micro SD and SIM card slots.

Display

What makes the Kyocera Hydro Elite much better than its predecessors is that it is now designed with the standard display panel for mid-range phones, a good impact-resistant 4.3-inch LCD display with 1280 by 720-pixel resolution. The said specs allow a clear viewing over the display of the phone, both images and text, and a bright viewing for outdoor use.

More so, the brand shifts from the usual capacitive home, back, and recent app buttons to the standard mid-range on-screen buttons display.

Camera

Going further with its optimized specs, the handset flaunts an 8MP rear camera equipped with LED flash and impressive features such as autofocus, digital zoom, and extra modes and effects for better shots. The selfie camera, on the other hand, has toned-down the camera effects and can only take photos in three particular sizes.

Of course, along with the camera feature, the handset is also capable of shooting good videos with a quality mounting up to 1080 pixels for the rear camera and 720 pixels for the selfie camera, and are equipped with particular video options such as audio muting, white balance, brightness, exposure, color effects and others. However, unlike the selfie camera, the rear camera’s capability is much more advanced especially that it allows digital zoom, auto and touch focus, time lapse, contrast meter, flash, and a number of video qualities that the users can choose from.

Connectivity and Network Performance

What maybe the best thing about the new Kyocera unit is that it is capable of 4G/LTE signal reception. It even performed a good 22Mbps download and 8Mbps upload on a speed test conducted by Phone Arena.

More so, it also supports a handful of great connectivity protocols such as Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS, dual-band capable Wi-Fi 802.11, and NFC.

Power and Battery

Giving life to the handset is a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 Plus processor along with a 1.5GB of RAM. Now, the great thing about this is that it operates beyond the figures, allowing a number of apps to run – hence, avoiding lags upon usage.

With regards to the battery, Kyocera has equipped the Elite with a 2000mAh capacity battery to support a good 13 hours of talk time and/or almost 9 days of standby time.

Software and Memory

The Kyocera Hydro Elite operates on the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and unlike LG, Samsung, and other smartphone brands, it is not topped with any custom UI layer made by the brand. Regardless, it is equipped with a starter and standard mode – wherein the starter mode allows first-time Android users to use the unit in an even more user-friendly interface given that it has larger icons and simpler access to menus and settings.

In order to meet the global standard of mid-range smartphones, the brand has increased the storage size to a built-in 16GB internal memory plus a Micro SD slot capable of expanding up to 32GB.

What’s New with Kyocera Hydro ELITE (C6740 & C6740N)

Truly, Kyocera has moved the bar of their waterproof smartphones’ specs to another level. One instance of which is the increase on the camera specs from 5MP to a good 8MP camera that is capable of vibrant snapshots and quality videos. Along with this is the 4G LTE capability of the handset that allows faster streaming on cellular data.

Now, with regards to improved technology, the unit flaunts a Smart Sonic Receiver technology that enables the unit to transmit audio through the hard tissue inside the ear from the ceramic transducer incorporated within the device. This is also the reason why the handset did not display an in-ear speaker up front. Just put the phone near your ear and you can easily hear from the device given that this technology actually converts the phone’s display panel to a speaker.

As expected, the Kyocera unit is also equipped with an improved waterproof protection from blowing rain and water immersion that could increase up to 1 meter within 30 minutes. However, the brand also notes that this is limited to fresh water and as much as possible, avoid dipping the phone in the pool or ocean water.

Lastly, what Kyocera Hydro Elite offers its users when it comes to connectivity is its NFC capability which allows touch-and-send sharing of contacts, videos, pictures, and others. This phone also features wireless charging through its Qi-enabled wireless charging pad.

In August 2016, the well-known phone manufacturer Alcatel has released another unit that is not only of quality but also an affordable phone for regular phone users. Designed to attend to consumers’ day to day needs, the new Alcatel unit has more to show than its cheap pricing.

Design

Seemingly a rebadge of Alcatel’s Pop 3 released in 2015, the new Alcatel TRU comes off with a 5-inch scratch-resistant LCD display panel with a resolution of 480 x 854-pixel. It measures to a good 5.55 by 2.81 by 0.39 inches and weighs up to 5.89 ounces. This new unit features soft keys that users will definitely love.

Along with a compact body, the handset displays a minimal front display – with only a circular capacitive home button at the bottom, and the speaker and the selfie camera occupying the upper part of the screen. Going to the sides, Alcatel TRU chose to retain the usual setup of the volume rocker and the power button at the right side of the device.

Design and Display

Released in June 2017, the Moto E displayed a similar look from its predecessors. From the usual oval fingerprint sensor at the bottom of the screen to the huge and round rear camera section.

Software and Memory

Since the Lenovo acquisition, there were fewer custom features that the Moto X has showcased in the Moto E series.
