Does anyone know how to do this? have tested other stock version and lineage OS, yet ask me for the pin code.
This is for Argentina Movistar company.
The XT1527 is a Moto E 2nd Generation, but in this case it shouldn't matter...
If your device is carrier locked, meaning you insert a different carrier's SIM and it requests an unlock PIN, it must be unlocked either by paying a service for code (look online) or by the original carrier.
If you mean when you stick the correct SIM in it has a SIM PIN for security, you need to enter the PIN you setup for the SIM or go to your carrier and get the SIM replaced if you don't have it.

is there any way to unlock sim for free?
it's already sim unlocked.
mine is blocked by the operator phone
@BaconDrips, but only if you mean a retail versions. Carrier models will probably be locked.
@yeiyei0891, I haven't heard about free method yet (unlocking on your own). You need a code to unlock your Moto G, and those are sold f.e. on eBay.
Is it possible to use other carrier SIM cards with an unlocked D850? I am currently traveling and don't want to pay the usury ATT rates on international data and voice. Bought a SIM from a local carrier but am getting asked for SIM network unlock code. I am assuming that until the bootloader is unlocked there is nothing that can be done about this.
Bootloader lock has nothing to do with sim lock or network lock. In order to sim unlock your device you could go ebay and search after lg g3 unlock code, follow the instructions provided and then you could use any sim, any network you want with your device.
Yup, unlocked for use on other networks and an unlocked bootloader are two completely separate things.
If you need an unlock code, I don't have personal experience, but I have friends who have reported success with imei-unlocker.com
I wanna know how i can do this and im not sure if its unlocking or not
I want to use this phone on straight talk but the phone is meant for Boost Mobile. Is there any way of making it so that I can make it work for straight talk?
Motorola MOTO G XT1031
What im really asking is Do i have to unlock the sim card or unlock the phone itself?
You have to unlock the phone.
You can ask Boost Mobile support for the unlock code. If you say you need it to be unlocked so that you can use a different carrier's sim when you travel outside the country, carriers usually give the code to you as long as you have owned the phone for more than six months. Otherwise, you can google for sites where you can buy the unlock code. Once you have the code, you have to follow instructions specific to your Motorola Moto G to enter it in. I googled and found this:
How to enter the unlock code:
1. Power on your phone with a non-accepted SIM card. A non-accepted SIM card is a SIM from another network provider, other than the network you originally bought your phone from.
2. Wait for your phone to read: “Enter unlock/ subsidy code” or “SIM Network Unlock PIN”.
3. Enter the unlock code
4. Your phone will read: “Unlock Successful”.
Once unlocked, you will be able to use any sim with this phone.
Also, this is not the same as unlocking your bootloader so do not get confused while Googling
i thought the unlock was applied to the Sim card?
No the unlock is applied to a phone.
For example, if you take this sim card and use it with any unlocked phone it will still work. So the sim is not locked, the phone is.

Hello,
I bought a Moto G cellphone in Chile. Now I came to Canada and I bought a prepaid SIM card at Bell. The phone's asking for a "SIM network unlock PIN" - the cellphone was unlocked for all companies in Chile. I thought it was unlocked for every place in the world.
What can I do?
bump! does anyone knows how to fix?
What is your system version? Does it has the "utdms" on the system name? I think if it has that, it is network unlocked. Otherwise its networked locked.
That sounds more like the SIM you bought is locked with a PIN. I think the message is different if the phone is locked to a particular carrier. How many digits is it asking for? A SIM PIN is 4 digits, while a typical unlock code is 8 digits.
that's exactly what it asks me... no particular number or nothing.... i don't know what to do about it, i want to be able to talk in my phone!
I have a Straight Talk Moto G7 Optimo Maxx (which is apparently the same as the G7 Power) that I would like to unlock. I've tried putting a Sprint sim and a Metro sim but it doesn't ask for an unlock code. It just says carrier locked sim. Is there a way I can force it to ask for the unlock code?
did you ever figure this out? i have a straight talk optimo maxx i would like to use on visible but it won't prompt for an unlock code either, just says something like non compatible sim
