Unlocking Instructions for LG C555

General Information about your LG unlock code

When you receive your email with your unique LG unlocking codes, you may see there's actually more than one code as some models require more than one code to unlock them fully. However, for simplicity, we do aim to send you a single unlock code.

Depending on your model, the code you receive will either be an 8 digit or 16 digit number.
(Please see below for some examples)

Option 1 method - LG Models

To enter your unlock code, LG phones often require access to a hidden menu first. To access this menu simply enter the digits 2 9 4 5 # * 7 1 0 0 1 #.
1. Insert an original SIM card and turn the phone on
2. Access the hidden menu by typing 2 9 4 5 # * 7 1 0 0 1 #
3. Select 'Menu' and then 'Settings'
4. Next, select 'Security'
5. Select 'Network Provider' and 'Deactivate'
6. Finally enter the Unlocking Code provided. (Please note: Some phones require a slightly different access code - please see the list below if the above access code doesn't work for your phone.)

We may also return your IMEI number, simply ignore this, it's always the first one.

In most cases, the only one you will need is the Network lock (or NCK) which is the 1st code, as highlighted in bold above.

But should you need it, the Service provider Corporate (or SPK) unlock code is the last one.

In the unlikely event you are sent an 8 digit code and your phone only accepts a 16 digit code, try putting zeros in front of code. But only try this the once and contact us.

Miscellaneous access code rules

Some LG phones adopted a simple rule to access the hidden menu, as follows:

2 9 4 5 # * Phone_Model_Number #
Or
2 9 4 5 # * Phone_Model_Number 1 #

Where Phone_Model_Number is the numbers in your phone model. (If it's only 3 digits, add a 1 to the end)

Here are some examples

KE970 = 2 9 4 5 # * 9 7 0 1 #
KE260 = 2 9 4 5 # * 2 6 0 1 #
KU990 = 2 9 4 5 # * 9 9 0 #

However, for many newer models, the most common hidden menu access code method is simply entering 2 9 4 5 # * 7 1 0 0 1 #.
