If you do not see a screen asking for the unlock code, you will have to enter it manually. This can be a little confusing.
For this exampe, we will us the LG Spirit, but please adjust the service code to match your phone model.
You need to know the model number of the phone you are unlocking. This can usually be found on a label under the battery, or in the Settings menu under About Phone. The LG Spirit for example, is H440N.
Dial 3945#*XXX# (XXX is your model number, so the Spirit would be 3945#*440#). A service menu should appear showing the different locks on the phone. If a menu does not appear, you may need to redial 2945#*440#.
Select Network lock from the list shown, and enter the code we provided. You should see a breif message saying “Network unlock successful”.
