About Lenovo Phone Sim Lock

A network lock, SIM lock, simlock, carrier lock or (master) subsidy lock are terms used to represent the technical restriction that is built into some Lenovo phones during the manufacturing process. This restriction allows Lenovo to restrict usage of these phones to specific countries and/or networks. Although some phones can be unlocked OTA (over-the-air) however most phones require a sim network unlock pin Lenovo . The opposite of this is a phone called SIM-free, Network unlocked or Factory Unlocked. A Network Unlocked Lenovo phone does not  impose any type of SIM restrictions, meaning that you can use your Lenovo phone on any compatible network in the world.

Phones can be locked to accept only SIM cards with certain International Mobile Subscriber Identities (IMSIs); International Mobile Subscriber Identities can be restricted by either:

Mobile country code (MCC; e.g., will only work with SIM issued within one country)  or Mobile network code (MNC; e.g., AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile, Rogers, Cricket, Koodo, Fido, Wind, Telus, Claro, Movistar, Docomo, Vodafone, Bell Mobility, Tesco, O2, EE etc.)

What do i need to know BEFORE Network Unlocking a Lenovo Phone:

1. Make sure to Check That the IMEI is not stolen or Blacklisted (it won't work on any network in North America if it is reported stolen, even if it is network unlocked)
2. Make sure it is not  ROOTED  or Activation locked
3. Make sure it asks for a SIM Network Unlock Pin automatically when you insert a SIM card from a different network.
4. Make sure your phone is not Hard locked which means someone entered the incorrect code too many times. If it is a brand new phone or you have never tried to unlock it before then there is nothing to worry about.

* Only if the above is resolved, can you can safety proceed to order the phone lock removal service for Lenovo.

If you bought the Lenovo second-hand or got it from a friend then you may not  be sure If  your Lenovo is locked or not,  the  simple way to find out is to pop in a SIMcard from a different Network. If it's locked, then the Lenovo won't work on that network.  If it works then you can be sure that the Lenovo is unlocked and not blacklisted.

However if it does not work with a SIMcard from a different carrier, this can also mean that it is blacklisted.  You are better off spending a dollar or two and purchasing a IMEI Check service , just to be sure.

If you discover that it definitely is locked, and not blacklisted then we can help you network unlock it.

Is it Legal to Unlock a Lenovo phone?

Unlocking your Lenovo device is not only completely legal in most Countries but it is also your right as a consumer. If you are still financing the phone through your carrier then technically they still own the phone until you pay it off completely. In that case your carrier may not want you to unlock it for they fear you will run away to another carrier without actually paying the remaining balance owed on your Lenovo phone!

Since laws differ from Country to Country and there are new changes often we cannot provide legal advice regarding Phone unlocking. In the USA, Cell Phone Unlocking became legal on August 1st, 2014 when Obama signed a bill into law allowing consumers to unlock their cell phones.
