Unlocking code

[Anonymous]

Having decided to go sim only after 2 years with O2,  I asked for and recieved a 20 digit unlocking code .

 Went and got a good sim only deal from iD , sim duly inserted into my Windows Lumina 650 phone

 Please type in unlock code ,, ok  but it will only accept the first 13 digits of a 20 digit code , O2 chat gurus didnt

have a scooby , and suggested I contact Microsoft , ha ha anyone ever tried that .

 Has anyone encountered this problem or did you have to chuck your windows phone in the nearest bin.

Thanks for any useful suggestions in advance.

Type ##7820# And enter the code there instead.

I know who he meant. I wasn't responding to THAT part of the post

While I am on the subject how did you know this ##7820# ?

Also could it be added to the unlocking guide?

It’s a secret code known only to Masonic clan members of the first order of the funny handshakes!
