"Service Provider is locked"

---

Hi, apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this. I get this message on my SPV M700 which I got an IMEI unlock code for. After inputting the code I got a message saying it was ok, but now I see the message "Service Provider is locked, Please input your unlock code"

Anyone know if I should put in the same code again or something else? I'm trying to unlock if using a Vodafone UK SIM.

Thanks

Hi Supermonkey,

If you've already entered the code but it's still asking for the service provider code, try it again. Make sure you enter the code and follow the process exactly as it shows and complete it fully to the end. Then try another SIM in the phone again. If it gives the same message again, can you tell us the exact message that comes up on the screen so that we can make sure it is the network unlock code that it keeps asking for.

Let us know how you get on.

Hi, thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay in responding....I didn't realise I had a message waiting for me! I've ended up returning the handset unfortunately. Thankfully it still worked with an Orange SIM but I really needed to keep my existing Vodafone SIM and contract going.

The site I used to get a code from (http://www.deblocage-htc.com/) have been truly woeful and ignored every request for support I have sent them. Steer clear would be my advice unless you want to waste money like I've done!

IMEI and Service Provider Unlock

---

Hi ppl

Just thought I'd comment to say that I had the same message come up when I was unlocking my HTC Touch 3g (JADE110) phone.

I used the IMEI unlock service from HTC IMEI Unlock.com

The unlock code they provided worked fine, but when confronted with "Service Provider Locked", I re-entered the unlock code here again, and the phone recognised my O2 sim, having been previously locked to Orange.
