Why is my mobile phone locked to Movistar Ecuador?
HI your phone is locked to movistar mainly to use your phone only with that network sim ..If you insert other network sim in your phone then it will display messages like “Sim invalid” ,”sim lock” ,”Network unlock code” and so on ..To fix this you have to unlock your phone from that network ..You can easily unlock your phone using sites like ProUnlocking.com here they render unlock code for all mobile models at reliable cost ..After unlocking your phone you can freely use your phone with any GSM sim …
When you buy a cell phone it will be offered at a discounted price by Movistar Ecuador. They “lock” your cell phone to Movistar Ecuador in order to tie you in to their service and recouperate their costs. This means that you cannot use the SIM card of another network, and if you try to do so the phone will display “Phone Restricted”, “Contact Service Provider”, “Enter Unlock Code” or a similar message. Unlocking the phone removes this lock, allowing you to use your on any GSM wireless network anywhere in the world.
