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 LGcarrier-unlocked. Although it varies per model, you only need to take note of the specific code it’s asking for.
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):
Insert a non-accepted SIM.
Turn ON device.
Screen prompt asking for a code (NCK, NSCK, SPCK).
Read email instructions before entering the code.
Enter the code being asked for.
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:
Go to Settings ⇨ About.
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:
Insert a non-accepted SIM card
Dial 2945#*ModelNumber#
Select “Network Lock” or “Service Provider Lock”
Enter the Unlock Code it is asking for. Remember there are several code types, pick the specific code it is asking for
Some phones ask you to enter the same code twice, otherwise just follow the screen prompt.
Click “Done”
Click “Unlock”
Your phone might reboot. If it doesn’t you will see the signal bars lighting up.
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.
Dial *#865625#
Hit OK on screen prompt
Type the code twice
Hit OK
Wait for the phone to reboot and load up
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.
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 do you know you’ve already purchased the right phone for your needs? We know! That’s when you get to do everything with your mobile – bring it whenever, wherever, and snap the best shots to treasure through time. Our pick? The Samsung Galaxy S7 from MetroPCS. Not only will you get high-quality specs for your mobile phone, but you also get own it in the best deal yet. Here are its priced details that you shouldn’t miss!
Display and Design
If we’ll talk about design, there’s no way you can go wrong with Samsung products. They are premium, smartly designed, and are technically adept with the latest technologies out there.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 sports a similar display with its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S6, especially with the AMOLED screen size and resolution of 5.1 inches and 2,560 by 1440 respectively. This time, however, the brightness volume has been increased to a significant level – thus, making the S7 screen even more highly visible for users.
It also appeared the same in terms of the rear panel’s design, only that S7 featured a thicker, more rounded, narrower back than that of the S6 to house a slightly bigger battery and avoid the camera lens from looking bumpy. Aside from that, it still has the same metal-glass unibody overall, along with Samsung’s signature home button at the front, a Micro USB charging port, and a sensor.
Another point about S7’s design is that it came with Samsung’s waterproofing technology rated IP68. This meant that the device is fully protected from water spills, splashes, or dunks that can either slow or damage regular phones.
Camera
When it comes to camera quality, Samsung never fell behind. It has the right camera specs to achieve a picture-perfect shot at any time of the day.
The S7 has stepped up its game with a dual-pixel rear camera, thus, making low-light pictures easier to capture. It has integrated a 12MP camera despite the S6 being 16. You might have wondered, why? The 12MP camera included larger, higher number of focus pixels enabling the said camera to focus faster and perform better in low light.
It also featured a CMOS 5MP front camera for snapping smooth, post-worthy selfies. If you have a problem taking selfies in dark places, you may also make use of its Selfie Flash mode to capture your selfie shots better.
With regards to its video shooting capability, the Samsung Galaxy S7 can carry a 4,000 resolution at 30 fps from its rear camera and a 1080p from the selfie, which only means one thing: a good alternative for shooting travel documentaries!
Connectivity and Network Performance
For MetroPCS mobile phones, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is worth the contract. Aside from its built-in connectivity protocols Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 4.2, ANT+, NFC, GPS GLONASS, and USB 2.0, it is also integrated with Samsung’s Smart Switch that enables a faster PC sync.
Moreover, its network is also deployed with LTE connection supporting fast browsing, and streaming online. It also supports good voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) and Wi-Fi calling.
Processor and Battery
In this time and era, mobile users are more informed of the specs that they should focus on. The good news is, Samsung knows that. Thus, in this flagship phone, a user can expect that the smartphone’s free of lags and can very well launch apps without slowing down. Thanks to the S7, it is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 clocked at 2.15GHz processor that fulfills the needs of the majority of mobile users.
Moreover, the S7 is also equipped with an impressively huge battery capacity of 3000mAh matching up to the heavy specs of said model.
Software and Memory
The Samsung Galaxy S7 is also revved up with Samsung’s exclusive custom UI skin along with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow on top of it. It included restyled icons and a simpler home screen and app drawer customization to make it user-friendlier. Among its interesting features is the Always-on screen, which allowed users to peek on the time, battery status, notifications, and the calendar without accessing the phone wholly, thus, minimizing consumed battery life.
In order to make the unit user-friendlier, Samsung allowed a maximum of 32GB for internal storage along with a 200GB external memory slot. This is so people can freely store in photos, videos, and other multimedia files in the comfort of their mobile.
Good thing, MetroPCS made sure default apps didn’t compromise the benefits of the built-in memory.
What’s New with the Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T1)?
The era of huge, full screen mobile phones has dominated every user’s palm. However, the majority continues to cringe over not being able to fully hold these types of phones. With that said, Samsung offers a completely upgraded version of their flagship phones: a full HD Super AMOLED screen with a narrower body through the face of Samsung Galaxy S7.
Moreover, it also featured a solution to the one of the most common issue – water. Through its rated IP68 water resistant technology integrated in the S7, it will be easier to keep the unit away from damages of water spills, splashes, or dunks that could severely destruct a phone. Even a cup of coffee spilled onto your S7 won’t be a problem anymore!
What would users look forward in Samsung’s flagship unit is the camera specs. For Samsung Galaxy S7, Samsung decided to integrate a 12MP dual-pixel camera along with fast autofocus function enabling the unit to capture great photos in low light. The 5MP selfie camera also features a Selfie Flash mode, thus, enabling users to better capture photos during nighttime.
Furthermore, purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S7 included the Gear VR headset as promotion during its early launch. It made the unit more likeable especially that the VR app featured tons of movies, videos, games, and others allowing the high-tech equipment to be enjoyed by users in a whole new level of mobile experience.

It is also efficient for swiping, dragging, and trapping onto the screen.
Of course, the stylus pen also comes with the exclusive LG feature – QuickMemo. This allows users to jot down and annotate notes directly on the screen.

The Magic Slot is a design innovation by LG in its first attempt to make modular phones.
The Magic Slot
If there’s anything more interesting with LG G5, it’s the Magic Slot. The magic slot contains the battery, sim card and the microSD card slots giving easier access to the user’s most important convertible accessories.
The Magic Slot is the removable bottom of the phone that allows the users to replace the battery with one easy click of the button at the lower right-hand side of the phone. It’s also the same slot used for switching between G5’s modular accessories.
Despite the fact that most manufacturers are now moving towards non-removable back covers and batteries, LG G5 matched it with a full blast metallic casing but of removable battery. Quite the genius.
Physical Changes
If you are an avid LG user, the LG G5 is probably going to feel strange for you. Gone are the volume keys at the back that your finger worked so hard to get used to, because the volume buttons are now on the left-hand side, conforming to the physical design of other smartphones.
LG did a good job at making the home screen really clean and minimalistic, however, they’d gone extremely far to eliminate the app drawer that really confuses LG and even long-time Android users.
With the app drawer gone, the phone’s interface looks more like that of an iPhone more than an Android. People think that LG is probably risking its features to make it appeal to iPhone users who are tempted to switch to or try Android for economical reasons.
Battery Life And Charging
It’s good that LG G5 now has a USB Type C port for charging that conforms to the standard of other Android and smart devices worldwide. This is good news compared to other LG flagship devices which only works with LG provisioned chargers.
Also, the easy battery switch makes it easier for users to seamlessly use their phones when traveling, gaming or surfing minus the usual hassle of charging while being on their phones. An extra battery is added upon purchase.
Since LG G5 has Quick charge 3.0 Support, users can now have at least 80% battery in just 30 minutes of charging which is equally competitive to other new smartphone models.
Metal Case
The metal casing is the first of all the LG family’s G Series to ultimately resolve overheating issues from the preceding model.
LG G5’s metallic cover isn’t technically metal on your fingertips. It has gone through multistage processes that keep your hands from stinking rust.
In addition, the metal casing ironically has a smoother finish compared to LG G4 which is somehow rough to the hands. Despite being all-metal, LG G5 is lightweight and is ergonomically made for mobile user experience.
Modular Mechanism
The LG G5 features a modular mechanism that allows other accessories (LG calls them *Friends), to improve the phone’s features like its camera, audio, and battery. Although LG G5 isn’t the only modular phone available in the market, it offers a wide array of modular accessories that’s exciting to use for LG fans.
The LG G5 has 14 different Friends but not all of them are available to the US, EU, and other countries. If you are interested with an LG G5 Friend (accessory), be sure to check its availability in your country first.
LG G5 Friends
+ Replaceable Battery
The replaceable battery is considered one critical advantage of the LG G5 compared to other flagship devices from brands like Samsung, iPhone, Xiaomi, etc. LG G5 comes with a spare battery upon purchase.
+ LG G5 Quick Cover
The Quick Cover flip case is the answer to G5’s scratch-prone screen and it allows users to pass users’ touches to the screen even when it is closed. However, this G5 Friend doesn’t look so friendly to most customers, because it isn’t magnetic and won’t stay closed which unfortunately defeats the purpose. .
+ LG Cam Plus
LG G5’s camera is already awesome but LG can’t help but add another Friend to make it even better. LG Cam Plus is created to help users with the camera controls like video, shutter, and zoom controls, but that’s not the best part about it. This Friend can add more battery life by replenishing the power consumption of your cam app.
Although the LG Cam Plus is made for the said purposes, it is a total epic fail for most customers. Starting at $70, the LG Cam Plus, somehow causes the camera to “stop responding” or lag when zooming and it spins freely either way so it doesn’t give any reassurance that you have reached the max zoom in or out capability.
Again, beware of buying LG Cam Plus online because it’s not universally compatible with all LG G5 phones and it might depend also on your carrier.
+LG Hi-Fi Plus (DAC)
If you are the audiophile-type then this is a thing you wouldn’t want to miss. This Friend offers crisp and clear music that every audiophile would want to hear. It also comes along with a USB Type C cable that you can easily connect to a computer and it works just as fabulous. However, this isn’t available in the US and isn’t compatible with the US LG G5 models either, so don’t bother getting one from Europe or wherever online.
+LG Tone Platinum Headphones
This new addition to the LG Tone line is a G5 Friend, and this Bluetooth headphone is great for everyone, except of course to audiophiles. The design is ergonomic and comfortable to wear on the neck.
It’s quite fashionable and it’s undoubtedly a level up compared to its predecessors.
+LG 360 Cam
So, aside from the LG Cam Plus, LG G5 got its camera game up a notch with yet another Friend, the LG 360 Cam. It doesn’t have an internal memory but you can stick in an SDXC card of up to 1TB.
This can only be controlled using a smartphone through Bluetooth connection, however, the process of connecting to the cell phone app can be confusing at times. On a lighter note, this model is not as expensive as with other 360 cameras available in the market but it almost has the same video and picture quality.
+LG 360 VR Headset
As the name suggests, the 360 VR is a Virtual Reality headset and it works only with LG G5, a not so clever marketing strategy. Nonetheless, it’s lightweight compared to that of Samsung’s.
You can connect it to LG G5 phone via USB type C cable and it only works after downloading all the necessary apps like Friends Manager, 360 VR Manager, and vrChannel. This VR attempt didn’t get LG the praises it was looking for but it’s way more expensive than other VRs.
Unfortunately, the experience doesn’t justify the price of the LG 360 VR headset.

LG has returned with another smartphone that has left its loyal supporters in awe. Branded as the LG Leon 4G LTE, the new mobile handset has stepped up its game. Aside from being memory and budget wise, it definitely has the specs for great cellular and internet connection. Looking for more? Here’s what we know.
Design and Display
LG may be a huge brand, but they are definitely open to offering great smartphone deals to its customers. Leon is one of them. With a smooth 4.5-inch screen, enabling an 854 by 480-pixel resolution to come to life, the new budget phone is providing users a great screen viewing experience. Furthermore, the unit allows users to easily hold it without the threats of it slipping off from the grip as it is skinned with a faux-metal sheen on the rear panel and is built to be compact and lightweight. Overall, it measures up to 5.11 by 2.55 by 0.42 inches and weighs at 4.89 ounces.
Moving forward with the details, the phone’s rear is noticeably bulky and is surprisingly complementing its petite size. It also has a removable rear panel, allowing users to insert additional storage with the Micro SD slots and for replacing the battery. To access the rear panel, you may use the micro-USB opening and open it from there.
In addition, it has the usual placement of the camera and the flash at the back while the headphone jack, the micro-USB charging port at the bottom, and the power button and the volume rocker at the sides. However, for this one smartphone, LG has incorporated the new in-cell navigation buttons instead of the traditional touchscreen capacitive buttons.
Camera
Despite being a budget phone, the unit is smoothly sporting a good 5MP rear and the 0.3MP selfie camera. It also has great features such as the soft light, gesture shot, burst shot, and even the live shot. More so, it is also capable of shooting 1920 by 1080-pixel videos. All of which are ideal for capturing your Instagram-worthy photos!
Connectivity and Performance
Empowered with an LTE connection, the mobile handset is fully capable of smooth calls and cellular data. It is consistent and surprisingly steady. A great deal for casual users who need to conduct calls from time to time and surf the net in a seamless manner. Moreover, it is also equipped with standard connectivity protocols such as Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS with GLONASS, and even radio.
Power and Battery
While the trend of removable batteries has played low these days, it seems LG decides to retain it on Leon. It is equipped with a 1900 mAh battery capacity, which is a good combination with its 1GB RAM. It is also incorporated with a quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, thus, allowing the unit to process tasks in a quick manner.
Software and Memory
Running on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, the new Leon has retained the exclusive apps from LG. This includes the note-taking app, very well known as the QuickMemo+, which enables users to take down quick notes and doodles.
There’s also nothing to worry about the phone memory as it is equipped with an 8GB internal storage, which could be expanded with a microSD card up to 32GB of storage.
What’s New with LG Leon 4G LTE
The new LG Leon may be a budget phone, but it can tell you more of it with its beyond-standard specs. It has a great deal of memory space as its allocated with an 8GB built-in storage along with the expandable microSD slot. It also flaunts its .45-inch full VGA display and the 1.2 GHz quad-core processor that allows it to multitask smoothly.
You will never go wrong with taking quick snaps with its front camera as it features gesture shot allowing users to take photos with a simple hand gesture. Plus, the soft light feature in the Leon will ultimately allow you to turn dark snaps into well-lit photos!
Beyond everything else, it is impressively affordable for its blazing fast 4G LTE speed. Time to say goodbye to choppy calls and video calls, eh?

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.
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.
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.
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:
Go to Settings and look for Cellular.
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:
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).
Look for Network Operator and Search/Scan for networks.
Wait until it shows you the results.
Once the results show, try connecting on one of the networks and wait if your phone can pick up a signal.
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.

UnlockBase offers its services to a variety of smartphone brands and its respective models. Thus, in order to promote a fast and convenient unlocking service, we use specific services such as the Huawei Calculator, to cater to Huawei’s very own smartphone models.
Indeed, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd, or simply Huawei, has collected various awards for its own set of high-quality, consumer-oriented smartphone best-sellers. Rooting from the land of Shenzhen, Guangdong, Huawei has been named the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer around the Globe. This very achievement has helped the company overtake Ericsson in the title way back in the year 2012.
Originally, the company was founded by Ren Zhengfei, an ex-military officer in the year 1987. It was initially a company focused on producing phone switches, but has grown into a private company aiming to provide consultation and operational services to enterprise businesses in China and around the Globe in the later years.
With its unstoppable progress in the industry, Huawei has landed in three core operating divisions: Telecom Carrier Networks, Enterprise Business, and Devices unit. Primarily, Telecom Carrier Networks unit focuses on building telecommunications networks and services aiming to provide enhanced network solutions to telecommunication companies. The Enterprise Business unit, on the other hand, is designed to provide software, equipment, and services to enterprise businesses in and out of China. An instance of which is government solutions. Moving forward, it also has the Devices unit which is set to manufacturing electronic communications equipment and devices. This includes the smartphones, USB and wireless modems, wireless routers, and video products among others.
According to their official site, as of the end of 2015, Huawei has ranked third in the world with regards to phone shipping, which is available in 170 countries, and its products being used by a third of the world’s overall population. It also has 16 Research and Development centers in the United States, Sweden, Germany, India, Russia, and of course, China. Almost unsurprisingly, it has surpassed Apple with regards to sales number in July 2017. Thereby, moving its rank of being the world’s second largest smartphone manufacturer next to the first placer, Samsung.
With its success, truly Huawei has more to offer in its 30 years and counting in the industry. Impressively, investing in Research and Development has helped it rise further ahead of its competitors around the world. With that being said, there’s more to look forward to with regards to its high-tech phone technology solutions aside from its best-selling fingerprint sensor and dual-lens camera system.
Meanwhile, UnlockBase offers you the updated list of its service’s supported Huawei smartphone models. These include:
In the event that you plan to unlock your Huawei unit, check out your phone model from the given list above and contact us if you should need further details about our service.
