How to Unlock Tesco Mobile, Please Check Out These Ways

Part 1: Basic Knowledge about Unlocking SIM Card

When you buy a phone from Tesco instead of a manufacturer, it locks your SIM. This lock will only allow Tesco network SIMs to work on that phone. No other SIM card can operate on the phone until it is unlocked.The only way to have a Tesco unlock phone is to get it unlocked through Tesco directly or from a tool if you don’t have an account. There are also some limits before using or selling your Tesco unlocked mobile phones.

Here are those limitations:

• You cannot unlock a Tesco mobile phone that has been reported lost or stolen.
• If you have bought the phone from another supplier.
• If your Tesco mobile phone is recently bought.
• You must have used your Tesco mobile phone for at least a year before unlocking it.

• You also have to check if Tesco is the one that has locked your phone. Sometimes it is a different carrier.

  

Part 2: How to Check If Your Phone is Locked to Tesco?

If you did not buy your phone from Tesco or any other carrier, then it might not even be locked. If you have purchased one with a network provider, it also does not imply that it is locked. Some carrier-locked phones are unlocked.

Anyways, here are some ways you can check if your Tesco mobile phone is locked:

• Open the SIM tray and take out the Tesco SIM card from your mobile. Enter a SIM card into your phone but ensure that the SIM has any network other than Tesco. If you don’t have a non-Tesco SIM around, ask your friends or family to give you one.
• Check if your SIM card works on the Tesco phone. If the SIM card shows, it means that the Tesco lock is inactive. If the SIM doesn’t show any signal bar, your mobile is Tesco locked, and you’d need to unlock it.
• If your Tesco phone passes all the limitations we discussed above, then you can easily unlock it. Tesco will send a PUK or Personal Unblocking Key to your device to get it unlocked.
