How To Unlock Microsoft Lumia 640/640XL (Any Carrier or Country)
2015-07-08
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
