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.

Notes on hidden menu access codes:

To enter your unlock code, LG phones often require access to a hidden menu first. Most newer phones will accept the code 2 9 4 5 # * 7 1 0 0 1 #. So if the recommended code suggested doesn't work, please try this one, if this also doesnt work please contact us
