Alcatel Idol 4 sim network permanently locked - General Questions and Answers

Hello, I bought an Alcatel One Touch Idol 4 LTE 6055U from ebay which is in pretty good condition but the only problem is that when I insert my sim card I get this message:
"Mobile networks have been permanently locked because you have incorrectly entered SIM ME lock 10 times. Please contact the carrier"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
after pressing ok I get this:
"Sim network permanently locked" right under this there's a number field to enter a code, and below this are the "unlock" and "dismiss" options
This is the only problem, everything else works perfectly.
I couldn't find other threads with this problem so I'm wondering, is this fixable? what can you recommend? any help is appreciated

Sim card issues.

Ok my pull down notification menu says this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But when I click on it it says this.
What do?
i saw some forum's answers that it just maybe some old sim card -
i was adviced to change my sim card that was made back in 2002 for a new one -
not sure what may have been changed - but since all the phone numbers and messages are in phone (and google) memory
you risk nothing, and this sim change should be free.
i've already ordered mine and it awaits for me in cellular operator office
Hmm I was hoping that a trip to tmobile could be avoided but I guess if that's what I have to do.

[Q] Restricted access changed

I unlocked my phones sim using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389740. I am on the T-Mobile $30 unlimited data 100 min prepaid plan. Everything was working perfectly until this past weekend. I set the phone in airplane mode and after disabling it I was unable to receive any form of data or cellular signal. On the top right of the notification bar is a. Red triangle with a white cross in the center. I have tried removing and reinserting the sim card but I get a message saying " restricted access has changed".
This is the xt926 9.20.1. The phone is rooted. I have tried the sim on the nexus 4 and it works just fine.

Nokia 3 - Updates are temporarily unavailable

I have a Nokia 3 on Android 8.1 and I can't update it on the latest Android 9 version. It just gives me a message saying that updates are temporarily unavailable.
I tried checking for updates with both wifi and mobile data and it still didn't work. I also googled it and read that people have gotten this when switching the sim card to a different carrier. I did switch the sim card too because I gave the phone to someone else but it was from the same carrier. I tried putting my old sim card and still had the same issue. Can anyone help me with this?

OPPO F5 - sim detected but no carrier

Hi everyone
I used to review phones on YouTube a few years ago. OPPO was launching the F5 and they sent me a sample to review. I did the review and kept it aside. Never really inserted sim to try it out.
Now, I wanted a backup phone for my two extra sim cards. So I pulled it out and inserted the sim cards (Jio and Airtel). The phone starts well, and detects the sim cards, but strangely it doesn't register the network.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I tried manually too, it gives the following error.
How can I get it working?
Is there some factory lock they set? I figured there are some EngineerMode codes for F5, but there are a lot of options, can anyone pls guide.
