Unlock redmi 8a bootloader

for my device 168 hour after unlocked preblemless
chek your driver on pc

I also have to wait a week after request unlocking. Make sure you send request and the mi unlock tool is the lastest version from official website.

I cannot even start the procedure it keeps saying my sim card is not activated, and when I try to see the unlock status (part of the unlock procedure), it keeps sending me an error that it cannot send the sms, but i can send sms no pro blem and have more than enough data available, I cant go past this until my sim gets "activated"no idea what it means, I have been using this sim/number for years
