Hi everyone,

I registered/bought a new umobile prepaid SIM card for an old phone. It's not even a smartphone...just very very low end basic samsung phone for my grandma to use.

When I insert the new SIM card and turn on, it say "Network Lock" and requires a password/code to unlock. I have only 10 tries...and after trying several I have 6 tries left. It's not 1234...tried that and failed.

Does anyone know? Thanks all!

It means that the phone you have is "SIM Locked" SIM lock - Wikipedia

I wonder is the phone that you inserted the SIM into from Malaysia? Also DO NOT finish the 10 tries, if you do that then your phone is useless and WILL NOT connect to any networks anymore.

Thanks ab123.

Yes it's possible the phone was brought from Europe since it was given to me. Is there any solution to this? Will any locak mobile phone shops able to 'unlock' it?

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking too. All the trouble buying code online...for such a low end phone...I think better just buy new one for rm100 or less...ada warranty lagi! :-)
