Solved: New Phone Old Sim

schadburs · ‎14-06-2022

Im trying to put my Sim into a new phone that I purchased second hand. The sim says I need an activation key but I have used this sim in multiple other phones.

How can I unlock this?

@schadburs

You will need to unlock the phone to use the sim card, so either contact the network it is locked to, or visit your local friendly independent phone shop, in such as a market who can unlock it for you.

- Xperia 1V - o2 and Spusu
- Pixel 8 Pro - o2 and Vodafone UK

@schadburs Sounds like your new phone is locked to a different network.

You'll need to find that network and ask them to unlock it.
