- 1). Power on your phone and type "*#06#" into your keypad. The screen should display your IMEI number. Write this number down on a separate sheet of paper and set it aside for later use.
- 2). Power down your phone and remove your SIM card. Insert your pre-paid or foreign SIM card in its place.
- 3). Call your service provider and request your unlock code. Provide your IMEI number when asked. The representative may give you the code over the phone, or e-mail it to you, depending on company policy.
- 4). Power your phone back on. The screen should say it needs a password. Enter the unlock code from your service provider. Your phone should now be unlocked and ready to use.
