• Keypad lock
• Security lock
Carrier lock is also called Sim lock or subsidy lock. This code is applied by the carriers on the request of the customer. Some third-party companies also sell these codes.
To unlock such code special numeric passwords are to be entered.
Keypad lock code prevents the unintentional or accidental presses of your mobile keys or button when placed in your pocket or purse.
These codes are very simple to open just by pressing or holding down only one or two specified keys.
Security code prevents other then owner to operate mobile phone. In the case if activated accidentally then user manual or carrier customer service will inform owner about the default code.
