The Service Provider (SP) Lock menu is used to lock the cell phone to the
SP's SIM card. Once the cell phone is locked to a specific operator, if one
inserts a SIM card from a different operator the phone will refuse to accept it!
The cell phone will however accept another SIM card from the same operator.
To activate/deactivate this lock one needs a special secret code that is not
available to the end user. (not even to you... or is it ? in case please let me know!)
Here is how to activate the menu:
<**< Lock to Network? if pressing yes you have 5 attempts
to enter NCK.
<**<< Lock to Network subset? if pressing yes you have
5 attempts to enter NSCK.
Warning: Your phone can be locked to a service provider FOREVER by doing this!
If an invalid code is entered all five times, the menu will exit and be deactivated!
Any further attempt to activate the NCK/NSCK lock Menu will result in the response
"Not allowed"! However the NCK/NSCK lock can be recover through a direct clearing
in the EEPROM.
