When you launch the Device Unlock App on your phone, a series of messages may appear but only one is valid for unlocking your phone successfully. 

Follow these steps:

1. Connect your phone to a WiFi network.
2. Launch the Device Unlock application and select the Permanent Unlock option. Learn more about it here.

If you see the message below you can unlock your phone using our Device Unlock App Service.

"Unlock Failed: This mobile wireless device is not eligible for unlock. For Device Unlock eligibility details, please go online or contact Customer Care."
