To unlock a LG Optimus One you will need an unlock code. Our LG Optimus One unlock guide shows how to unlock your mobile phone to any GSM carrier or network. By default, most SIM card based phones have a SIM lock preventing form working with any phone carrier other then the accepted one. Therefore first off you will probably need an unlock code for your LG Optimus One. You can sometimes get a free LG unlock code by calling up your current carrier and simply asking for one. They will probably need your LG Optimus One’s IMEI number in order to generate the unlock code. You can find the IMEI number by typing in *#06# on your phone and hitting the send key.
After getting your LG Optimus One unlock code follow the free instructions below.

If the screen does not pop up like it did with me (3 UK network)
open the phone screen:
and dial 2945#*500#
then enter the code that was given to you
Did you get a code by subscribing?
No, you will probably have to call up your phone carrier, or use one of the websites to generate an unlock code. Good luck!
Hi there,
I bought my phone in Canada and got an unlock code from my carrier. My problem is that when I put in an Italian SIM card though the phone tells me the “SIM network is locked” I don’t have a screen to enter in my unlock code. Dialing 2945#*500# or 2945#*509# does not provide me with a window in which to enter the unlock code either. Thank you for any suggestions!
