Lumia 800 does not accept sim unlock code

[Anghirrim]

Hi,

I just bought a second hand Lumia 800 for parts.

Being carrier locked, I did the process to obtain the unlock code based on the IMEI.

Until that step, no problem.

Then, when I try to unlock it, it keeps saying, wrong unlock code (three attempts so far).

I've gone into a chat session with the carrier customer service and confirmed again the unlock code (i've checked IMEI on both sticker and *#06#).

What's wrong here???

Anyone faced the issue?

Thanks in advance for your help.
