What if I tell you you can do it all by yourself?

All those saying you have to unlock it, what are you unlocking?
I have done this for some people for free, but if I'll tell you how to do it yourself, I'll charge you.

All you have to do is right there on your keyboard… nothing to unlock there.

My Tecno Camon 17P doesn't see wifi.


Any solution please?

Before sending to Nigeria, You need to have asked if it is locked or unlocked. The phone is locked to their network overseas. It needs to be unlocked here in Nigeria and yet there are no guarantees!

Or just buy from Canada next time, it illegal to lock phones to SIM. So it will come unlock.

Come To Emeka Ofor Plaza Onitsha And Unlock It

It's an endtime phone

Pootle:


unlock or use e-sim

will ESIM work on network locked phone?

It’s not been paid off
If it’s paid off the network will open it themselves
Also make sure it’s not reported stolen, cos even if you forcefully unlock it, that’s a stolen item

Not simlock! Most phone overseas are locked
To their carriers. Vodafone, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc. Just request for unlocked phone! Get it?

Flash it

Next time always let them unlock it before bringing it to you in Naija,I brought some iphone when I visited Naija last year June.
When I bought it from the owner (used)he said it's unlock I logged inn while I was with him and discovered that the phone are still locked ,there and then I showed it to him and asked him to call his provider and they unlocked it haven't discovered he has finished paying out his contract.

If it's Android, download flash tools and search for the custom stock ROM of the phone then load it with the flash tool

ayodaisi:
We can unlock it for you @AYODAISI TECHNOLOGICAL SERVICES. Portharcourt , Rivers state

How much

Dijita:
how much to unlock?

It varies. Depends on the phone.

Alusiizizi:


That's not always the case. If the phone(Bandwidth) is not compatible with Nigeria network then there's nothing that can be done.

Ok, yeah..
There's this too..

It's cheaper to unlock phones in Nigeria. Who has time to unlock phones in the US and why?

MemoriesAndMe:

Listen to your argument very funny. Who would want to unlock phones in the US when you can get the carriers SIM card etc. It is better to be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubts!

Paste the IMEI here. The phone could be a single band phone. If it is, can't work here.
We use dual-trio band GSM frequency here

Needs to be unlocked to use eSIM..

The person you quoted is right.

Does the phone support esim?

You can do an esim activation and forget about physical SIM cards.

Not if it is locked to a network.If its a new phone less than a year then it is stollen.Reason is simple, the contract is still valid.

ChronicGp:
Flash it

Thats for OLD phones, try flash Samsung Galaxy Zfold 5 and see what happens

Place in an aluminum foil and heat in a microwave for 2 minutes. It will force the registration chip to automatically reset

I too have the same problem. I bought 2new Tecno phone in Saudi Arabia during just concluded hajj. It didn't work in Nigeria. I complained to the seller and he told me to return it back to Saudi that he unlock it here before it can work in Nigeria.
From different comments have read now, its better to be testing any phone from abroad with Nigeria Sim before buying it.
