It's not possible to start my phone

Solution 6 of 7: Your phone is locked to another operator


If your phone is SIM locked to another operator and you try to use a SIM from your operator, the display will tell that your SIM is invalid.

Before you can use a SIM from your operator, you need to unlock your phone using an unlock code. To get the unlock code, contact the operator that locked your phone.
