So I recently got a new phone that was locked but got it unlocked.

    I got it unlocked so I could use my current sim that I had before I bought this phone in it. Since then I have got a second sim. I did not buy it it was giving to me as a Birthday present. I tried to use it in my current phone beside my other sim as it's a duel sim phone but it went back to looking for an unlock code so I gave up on that.
    So what I am wondering is will the phone I unlocked not work with out its providers sim in it as I have now or will it?
    I have also thought about just buying a cheap second phone for the other sim and nearly did yesterday except I could not get it out of the spin wheel things they have them on so left it. Yes it would be handy and nice to have a second phone but I would also just be as happy to have the two sims in the one phone.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Are you sure the phone was looking for the unlock code, and not a unlock code for the sim?

    What phone is it?
    What was the working?
    Can you enter the sim into another phone without entering a pin or puk code?

    Usually dual sim phones aren't locked to a network.

    Ye I was thinking maybe that was it after I tryied it the first time. This one was locked to network. I will give it another try.
