Solved: Samsung Galaxy S8 plus network unlock

Jaygeth70 · ‎09-05-2019

I received a code to unlock my galaxy S8+ and it didnt work. Im wanting to use a sky sim. O2 have now escalated to the relevent team but yet again being made to wait and I now have a feeling the phone might be permanantly locked

It won't be hardlocked after 2 attempts.
Are you sure it's an NCK they are sending you ?

@Jaygeth70 how many times did you enter the wrong code?

They say it is but it is 8 digits long, does that sound right?

I honestly thought unlock codes were longer but it's been a while since I did one.
Either way, do not enter it again and I'll tag in @EmilieT to see if she can help you tomorrow.
