[Q] Find My Phone -> Lock (locked icon)

Does anybody know how to "unlock" locked icon in Find My Phone (https://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/find)? See below.

I told me that phone is locked, but it is not true.
It is unlocked and Find My Phone's "Lock" feature does not work for me.

Thanks.

Remove and readd it

This doesn't tell you that your phone is locked, this gives you the option to lock your phone in case it has been lost or stolen...

Sorry, but you are not right - if I click on this icon, it showed the message that phone is already locked. But it is not true, since I have unlocked it.

I tried it app. week ago and if I need this service again, it will NOT work.

Can you help me?

I also had it, removed phone and readded fixed the problem.

Great, thank you very much.
But I think that is an issue/problem - it is not a standard behavior in my opinion.

Does anybody know why it happens?
Thanks.

Removing and Re-adding Works

Thanks, removing the device and re-adding also worked for me. Once you lock the device the symbol will remain, and you can not use the feature again. This is the only workaround I know of.

Strange, but solved.
Close this thread, please.

it relies on your sim card.In a sense,it just lock your tel-number.Once your sim card was out of your phone,it not work.

It locks the phone, does nothing with your telephone number.

deactivated phone

Does anybody know how to remove the deactivation a service provider puts on a phone when due to theft/non-payment/etf? I have a LG P-509 and it was working fine with simple mobile for almost a month then 3 days before payment was due the signal cut off and has an X on it!! I called simple mobile and they reset the service I took off battery and sim and still didnt work...I switched sim to a t mobile sim and it showed bars and got messages and then the signal bars were gone again! I called t mobile and they told me that they blocked it or deactivated it cuz customer did not pay...........does anybody have a solution????
