First thing

The first way to check if your LG asks for an unlocking code is by inserting into the phone a SIM card from a different Network Provider than the one you are currently using and after you start the phone check if the device will ask you for the “SIM Network Unlock PIN”.

Other Options

If your LG does not ask for SIM Network Unlock Pin, then you can try the following methods in order to check if there is any way to enter the unlocking code.

Method #1

Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press 2945#*model number#. For example, if you have an LG Prada P940 you enter 2945#*940# or if you have an LG Optimus L3 E400 you enter 2945#*400#

*Please note that your phone model might have several variations of digits. For example, LG G Flex is also known as LG G Flex D955, LG G Flex D958, LG G Flex D959, LG G Flex D950, LG G Flex LS995, LG G Flex F340. Please try the formula above for all these variations.

Method #2

Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: 2945#*71001#.

Now the phone should ask for the unlocking code.

Method #3

Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: *#865625#

Now the phone should ask for the unlocking code.

If any of the above-mentioned methods do not succeed and your phone still doesn’t have a designated field in which an unlocking code can be inserted, it usually means either your phone does not have a Network Lock active on it, or it can be unlocked using a Device Unlock App
