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. 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.
