Here are a couple of options to check if your LG phone requests the unlock code.
Option 1
Follow these steps:
- First, you need to find out the model number of your LG. Go to "Settings" > "About" > "Phone Model". There you will find the model of your LG. For example, if your LG model is 610, the number you are looking for is: "610". If it's an older model, you can also find this number on the sticker under the battery.
-
Dial the following sequence as if you were making a call: 2945#*Model number of your LG#. For example, if your LG model is 610, you should dial the sequence 2945#*610#
-
This sequence will take you to a hidden unlock submenu with the following fields:
Network Lock
Service Provider Lock
Network Subset Lock
Corporate Lock
SIM Lock -
Check if it asks you for the code either in the "Network Lock" or "Service Provider Lock" section.
-
If it prompts you, you can request the standard unlock without any issues.
Option 2
- Insert a SIM card that is not from the original carrier.
- When you do this, a warning message will appear asking you for the unlock code or network code.
- If you see this message, you can request the standard unlock without any issues.
If neither of these two options prompts your LG to request the unlock code, you will need to select "Unlock by cable" when requesting your unlock.
