hey guys it's ID from Texas and I'm here to show you the process of unlocking your Lumia 640 or 640 XL smartphone so you can use it with any GSM carrier in the world for this demonstration I will be using my locked Cricut Lumia 640 and unlock it so I can use it on my t-mobile network but it's the exact same process for the Lumia 640 XL as well so first off when you get the unlock code to start the unlocking process the place where I get all my lock codes is the locking company comm because they have the cheapest prices online and I get my codes much faster than other websites so head on over to the unlocking company comm and select your phone manufacturer and the phone model from the drop-down list and on the next page go ahead and select the country the phone was originally purchased from and the carrier of the phone in my case I purchased it in the United States and the original carrier is Cricut before we continue we do need the IMEI number of the phone and the way you look that up on your phone is to open up the dial pad and enter in star pound zero six pound once the phone displays the IMEI number you have to go back on the website and enter that in once everything is filled out select get unlocking code and that will take you to the final screen where you have to check out after checking out they will email you the unlock code the price and delivery time of your code varies by phone but don't worry because as I said before you are getting the cheapest price online with the fastest delivery times so once you receive your unlock code from your locking company comm it's time to unlock your phone but before we continue make sure that the phone is powered off next go ahead and remove the backplate and the battery so you can gain access to the SIM tray and then go ahead and insert the SIM card you want to use with the phone I want to use the Lumia 640 on my t-mobile network so I'm putting in my t-mobile SIM card if your SIM card is a different size than the tray then you have to adjust the size in order for it to work there is a link down below to show you how that's done after you put your SIM card on the tray go ahead and put it back inside the phone and install the battery and the backplate and power on the device once the phone boots up it will take you to the SIM unlock page and this is where you enter the unlock code that you received from your locking company after inputting in the code and hitting unlock you will get a message stating that the unlock was successful and it will take you straight to the home screen which means that your phone is now permanently unlocked and you can begin using it immediately as you can see I'm using the Cricut Lumia 640 on a t-mobile network so that's basically how you unlock your Microsoft Lumia 640 for any GSM carrier in the world if this video helped you guys out please leave a like as it does help me out a lot and you have any questions or run into any problems ask me in the comment section down below and I'll get back to you as soon as possible this is that from tech source I will see you in the next video
