| UNLOCKING YOUR HANDSET |
Handsets are often locked (to prevent use with another networks SIM card) when sold with a contract.
If you see a message like 'Enter Unlock Code' or 'Contact Service Provider', when you first put your Now Mobile SIM card in to your phone, you may need to contact your previous provider to obtain your handset unlock sequence, sometimes this is referred to as a subsidy PIN.
There are many other places where you can have your phone unlocked - we recommend visiting your local mobile phone shop for more advice. |
