What is "unlock code'?

For some reason, my Adobe Digital Edition stopped working (I have Windows 8), so I un-installed and re-installed it. Now, when I try to download an e-book from Barns & Noble to my Nook, it asks for an "unloock code" What is that and where can I find it?

The user name is not the B&N username, but the name on the billing address. And the credit card number used for the purchase is the unlock code, not the default user credit card.

Anybody know how to find out my unlock code?

Suddenly my Galaxy Note II Verizon phone is asking for my unlock code. It's never done this before. I don't know what the code is. I went on the Verizon website but all chat agents are busy, and, of course, I can't call them from my phone since it is locked. Is there another way of finding out what my unlock code is?

Go into the My Verizon web portal, sign in (You must be the account owner) and under your device there is a PUK phone unlock code. http://www.verizonwireless.com
However if it is your password issued from Google you have to enter your GMAIL password.
Good Luck

Unlocking codes

I have seen many people ask about unlocking their code,
As you should know Nokia make phones, design phones and think of many different possibilities that can improve your mobility with communications.
Nokia make it so that networks can put in their own what we call networks and that so you are locked into using that ones network and no other. Nokia send these companies phones that are unlocked and all nokias programs set into them and everything.
If you look at it when you look at a pre-paid or post paid phone compared to a outright phone the price can vary massively and you will notice it is cheaper to buy the phone with your desired company. The catch is that your network has near enough control of your phone and you need to get an unlocking code from them NOT Nokia. By law they aren't supposed to restrict access to the code but they don't want you to leave making it so you have a massive fee if you leave within a certain time and a smaller yet a fee after a certain time.
With 3 some phones stupidly cannot be unlocked possibly to firmwares and that related but Nokia has nothing to do they only made the phone and that is it.
Asking here to have your phone will not work you can take your phone to nokia and they can scan your phone and morelikely not be able to see what your unlock code is. The company pays for the phone and may sell it at a "discounted" price or you pay for nearly the whole price over time or you can buy a phone outright at many neutral phone shops which are usually electrical stores, phones with more then just one network, etc.
Thanks for reading this.

It's a simple code that all phone company has, why keep it a secret, ericsson use to publicise in their user guide as a default, in case you accidentally by mistake forgot your code.
I'm having problem with Phone Lock for a New Nokia N 85, whilst experiencing with it lock by itself and there are not Nokia Repair Shop in my country, the nearest is a 2hrs 30 flights at a cost of more than US$ 1000 just to unblock the phone lock, guys come on, be serious and provide the code and make our life easy.
This post is about network lock code and not the phone lock code.

There is no such thing as an unlock code. Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.

I have two Sprint iPhones (5 and 4s) and Sprint gave me unlock codes fo both - what do I do with the codes? I am taking them with me to England to use there?

I have 2 Sprint iPhones which were no longer in use on the Sprint account, Sprint provided unlock codes for both and told us to give them to the new carrier. We are taking the phones to England as we are moving there.
We assume that unlocked iPhones are as good as those bought directly from Apple with no carrier attached to them?
We are going to buy sim cards and use them there, so not sure what to do with the unlock codes?
Any help much appreciated!
Thank you

There is no unlock code that can be used with an iPhone by another carrier.
The GSM side of an iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 previously activated with Sprint should be unlocked for use with a GSM carrier's SIM card outside of the U.S. but if not, you need to request the unlocking with Sprint with Sprint sending the unlock request to Apple. The unlocking is done with iTunes on your computer.

Orange locked phone - have unlock code - now what?...

Hello all I contacted Orange some time back to send me the unlock codes for my Nokia N73. They asked for the relevant details (imei, phone number etc) and said after a £20 charge, they would send them to me (unlocking code + instructions).. 6 days later I have been given some instructions to unlock my N73 on the Orange network but am now lost (and orange haven't a clue).. The instructions are as follows (as they appear on the letter) - "Complete these procedures with an Orange sim card inserted, and switch the handset on" 1 - Press the # key 2 - Press the * key three times - this will produce a 'p' 3 - press the * key four times - this will produce a 'w' 4 - press the * key twice - this will produce a '+' etc etc My question is (and its probably obvious), when i press the # key as per no.1, do i hit enter, send, call etc? Because if you hit the # key alone nothing happens??? If i then press the * key three times (as per instruction 2) - then what?? no 'p' appears? Again nothing happens?/ Really rubbish instructions (or me being really rubbish).. So to be clear - i have all the relevant codes but its the procedure i have problems with.. Please help.

I'll obviously take out the memory card Would i need to re-install this? Also, is this safe? I have read several posts where people have had there mobiles frozen as a consequence..
I may take it to a Nokia dealer to do so, or do you think its worth trying myself??
Thanks
As far as my understanding goes, according to Nokia there is no legitimate way to 'debrand' a handset. That's not to say it cannot be done, there are many instructions to be found on the web if one knows where to look. Debranding, however it is done, essentially flashes (rewrites) generic Nokia firmware to the handset so all data stored in the phone's memory would be lost, anything on the memory card or SIM would be unaffected. Be warned, debranding will void any warranty you have with either your network provider and Nokia.
To be honest, I didn't think that the N73 on Orange was badly affected with branding. My N70 had the Orange Homescreen and that caused many people grief until Orange made it optional with the latest V5 firmware.

What is the process to unlock an iPhone 4 once I have the unlock code

I'm leaving work but keeping my iphone 4. Thet have provided me with a PAC details to keep my number and given me an a five digit unlock code. What do i need to do with this ? I'm waiting for a new sim card to arrive which will be using the O2 network. My Company service was Vodafone. What do I do when the new sim arrives. Not sure whether I should take the old sim out then synch with itunes or what to expect from itunes when I do this. I just want to make sure I do everything in the right order and not loose anything on my phone if possible. Many thanks for any help.

I suspect you are correct ,
go talk to Vodafone direct and find out their terms for unlocking as only Vodafone can arrange the unlocking no one else .
As said above there is no code that you can use
( I have had 2 x iphones unlocked by O2 ) There is no user involvement ,the carrier on agreeing to unlock, informs Apple who change the status on their records of the iPhone and then with a different sim installed attaching to iTunes unlocks the iPhone

What is the network unlock code for my HTC Thunderbolt?

I want to unlock my husband and I's HTC Thunderbolts. Our contract is up and we bought our phones out right before we signed a contract. What is the network unlock code for the HTC Thunderbolt phones?

Thanks. Apparently Verizon isn't really "sorry to see the customer go". I'll simply buy an unlocked phone and be done with Verizon for good. Two years is to long to be treated like this by them. I bought my phone and should be able to use it with whatever carrier I want. It is no longer Verizon's phone. Yes I understand they own some of the stuff they put on my phone but by all means they can remove it. I didn't want their crap on their in the first place. I wish the rest of America would quick kissing their rear. End Rant

Can anyone help me, I have an unlock code off vodafone to change networks. And I'm stuck in what to do now I have the code. If anyone can help it will be much appreciated. Thanks Kelly.

Unlock 'codes' are not provided for unlocking iPhones. Whatever they have given you is useless.
Once Vodafone have confirmed your iPhone is unlocked, you connect it to iTunes on your computer for the actual unlocking to take place. iTunes will show a Congratulations message on screen when the unlock is done.
No codes are required.

Iphone 4s saying sim not valid i just got the phone is have unlock code what do I do

Just got an iPhone 4s have the unlock code but the screen is just saying sim not valid how do I unlock

There is no such thing as an "unlock code" for an iPhone. If someone sold you one you have been scammed. iPhones are unlocked by the carrier the phone is locked to updating the master iPhone database maintained by Apple.
