What is up guys? Khristian here from Unlock River, and in today's video, I'm going to show you
How To Unlock LG Optimus F60 to use it worldwide with any GSM sim card.
So in this case, I have my phone, LG Optimus F60, but it will work for any other phone. As you
can see here this method works with any LG phone. We're going to unlock this phone. I'm going
to show you how to unlock it. It will also work for a the LG G3 or any other model. Now, I'm
going to show you how to do it. You will only need your sim card. In this case, my phone is
locked to MetroPCS, and I want to unlock it to use it with AT&T or with T-Mobile or with any
other sim card. So it is very simple. You only need your computer and your phone. Now, before
we start, I have to mention that unfortunately, there is no possible way to unlock your phone for
free. We will have to pay a small amount, but trust me guys, it is worth every penny to have your
phone fully factory unlocked, and you can switch providers, and carriers, and stuff like that, so
it's really worth it.
With that said, let's begin. So the first step is to get your phone's IME number. That's like the
serial number of your phone. To get this number, we're going to simply open the phone
application just as if you we were dialing a call, and we will type the following command: Star,
hash, zero, six, hash, and you will see that 15-digit IME number will pop up in your screen. So
we're going to need this number later, so keep it somewhere close because we are going to need
it, all right. I'm going to put it here on the side, and I'm going to switch to the computer.
So we open our Internet browser, I use Google Chrome, and we will go to go to the website
unlockriver.com. Let me just type it here, unlockriver.com, and on this website, we will request
the unlock code for the phone we wish to unlock. So we just need to fill in information here, and
we're going to start by selecting the original carrier. So my phone is currently locked to
MetroPCS in the USA; then you will select the brand, LG; and then you select the exact model.
So I'm going to look for LG Optimus F60. So I'm going to select that one. The next step is very,
very important. Here you have to write down your 15-digit IME number. It must be 100%
correct. If there is a mistake here, this method will not work. The next step is to write down your
email where you want to receive your unlock code. Also, make sure it is 100% correct,
otherwise, you won't receive your unlock code.
So just double check it and make sure all of the information you have submitted is 100% correct,
okay. If you scroll down, you will see an average delivery time and a price to unlock your phone.
This will vary depending on your phone's brand, carrier, and original country of purchase, okay.
So we're going to click request unlock now. On the following page, you will see a summary of
your order, so read everything here, make sure you understand everything, and as I promised, I
was going to show you exactly how to do it step-by-step.
So I'm going to go ahead and proceed to the payment with PayPal. So to proceed with the
payment, I'm going to click here where it says check out with PayPal. If you don't have a PayPal
account, don't worry, you can use any other method or create a new one by clicking down here. I
do have a PayPal account, so I'm just going to log in. It's going to be really quick. I promise. It's
going to take like 3 seconds, and I'm just going to click where it says Pay Now, and if everything
went well, we should see a success message or a confirmation of the order. Perfect. As you can
see here, it says your order is received, and that's all you have to do for now.
Now, you have to wait until they send you your unlock code. This may take 10 minutes, one
hour, two days, three days. It depends on every phone. It depends on every case. I will show you
my personal email, and the email I received. So we're going to go to my Gmail account, and as
you can see here, I just received an email from Unlock River saying that my unlock code is
ready. Your LG unlock code is ready, and it also includes step-by-step instructions on how to
enter the unlock code and, of course, the most important part, the actual unlock code. This one
right here.
So I'm going to show you how to insert this unlock code into the phone. It is very, very simple,
but anyways, there are a couple of steps that we have to go through. All right, so we're going to
power off the phone completely, so just click where it says power off, okay, and once the phone
is fully off, you're going to go ahead, remove the battery, and you will have to do something
important here. So if you remember, my phone is currently locked to MetroPCS, and I want to
unlock it to use it with my AT&T sim card. As you can see here, this is my old sim card. So just
make sure your new sim card is inside or any other sim card as long as it's different from the
original carrier, okay. So in this case, I have my AT&T sim card inside, so I'm just going to put
back my battery, and I'm going to turn on the phone, okay.
It's going to take a while until the phone is fully on. So once your phone is fully on, you will
notice that your network is locked, meaning that your phone is currently locked, and you have to
enter an unlock code to unlock it. So that's where you need to enter the unlock code you received
in your email. Now, you have to be aware that the unlock code only works one time for one
phone, so for this particular case, this exact code will not work for you. All right, so as you can
see here, it says service provider locked.
So we're going to go ahead and insert the unlock code manually. So just type the following
command 2-9-4-5-hash-star-3-9-5-hash, and you will see that there are four different kinds of
locks. So the network is a main unlock code, so if your phone does not require this unlock code,
skip to the next one. In my case, it's not asking for an unlock code, so I'm just going to click
where it says service provider code. So here you're going to see the email and you received four
different codes. So we're going to insert the one that says SP code, service provider code. So I'm
going to go ahead and insert this one here. I'm not sure if you can see it well, but 1-4-0-4-7-3-3-
0-8-6-8-1-3-9-0-7, done. We will click unlock now, and we will get a confirmation message.
Sim service provider unlock successful. Perfect. That's great news guys. The phone is now fully
factory unlocked. This means that you will be able to use it worldwide with any GSM sim card.
It is as simple as that guys. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below.
