What is Unlock Code?

For you to successfully unlock your Samsung Galaxy S2, you need to have an unlock code.

These codes are generated depending on the model of your phone, your location as well as your phone IMEI number.

TIP: You can't unlock your phone without this specific digit code.

Steps to Unlock Samsung Galaxy S2 with Free Unlock Codes

Since we have a lot of different Samsung Galaxy S2 unlocking methods, we're going to take a look at one of the most trusted yet simple unlocking method.

Step 1. Dial *#06# to get your unique 15 digits IMEI number. You can alternatively remove the back casing and the battery of your phone to expose the IMEI number. Make note of this IMEI number since you need it in the next steps.

Step 2. Using our online program, input your Samsung model and your IMEI number in the blank spaces provided as shown below. Click the "Check" icon and wait for some few minutes for the unique unlock code to be generated.

Step 3. Once the generating process is over, you will get a unique unlocking code that looks like this screenshot below. Make note of this code as this is your gateway to enjoying your Samsung Galaxy S2 with no limitations.

Step 4. Switch off your phone, remove your old SIM card and replace it with a new one from a different network provider.

Step 5. Switch on your phone. The moment your phone detects a new SIM card from a different network provider, an unlock code request will be displayed. At this point, our unique unlocking code from step 3 comes in handy. Input this code in the spaces provided and press "OK". This action will unlock your phone, and you will get a screen notification as illustrated below.

TIP: Please note that the moment you input the unlocking code three consecutive times, with each trial being unsuccessful, your phone is going to be blocked completely. Inserting your original SIM card won't help either. If this happens, you have no other option but to contact your original network provider to have it unblocked.
