SIM Card

Pvfc69 · ‎06-10-2022

Hi my mother in law recently upgraded her mobile and gave her only phone to our little boy so we can put a sim in just incase he ever gets separated from us while out.

I have a giffgaff sim at home and placed it in but it won't except it, can someone please help me work this out

Thanks Ian

Hello @Pvfc69 ,

Welcome to the community,

It looks like it is locked to the network, you would need to get this unlocked to use a SIM card from another network.

To contact EE customer service dial 150 from your mobile phone or ring customer service for free using Skype or another phone: +44 800 079 8586 or +44 800 956 6000.

@Pvfc69 : You can just apply for unlocking by using the Unlocking your device form and giving its IMEI no., which you can obtain be dialling *#06# into its keypad.
