Part 2. How to Unlock TCL Phone with IMEI [Carrier Lock]

If your TCL phone is carrier-locked, you cannot switch to other carriers whenever you like. In this case, you are unable to take advantage of better deals offered by different carriers. Besides, you might fail to download some special apps for entertainment or work that haven't been verified on the current carrier's approved app store.

To deal with the tough nut, you should apply for a TCL phone unlock code to unlock the carrier lock. If you are the original owner of your TCL phone, you can apply to your TCL phone's carrier for a free TCL phone unlock code. If not, you can turn to paid online services.

Step 1

Confirm the carrier brand of your SIM card and go to its official website to check its unlock policy. Usually, your TCL phone should be paid off, and your phone number should be active on its network for a certain period.

Step 2

If your TCL phone is eligible to unlock the carrier lock, you can contact the current carrier and apply for a free TCL phone unlock code.
