A Huawei P40 Pro is locked the same way any Huawei handset is: the carrier that sold it holds a record against the IMEI, and the device refuses every other SIM until that record changes. This page shows how the model is identified in the TAC register, what kind of lock it uses, and which of our services apply.

Before you pay anyone. Run the $0.03 SIM lock check first. If the phone is already unlocked, every unlock tier on this page is a waste of money — and the check tells you in seconds.

How a Huawei P40 Pro is identified

The TAC — the first eight digits of the IMEI — is how the register knows which model a handset is, and it is what every unlock and warranty service actually queries. Our register holds 44 TAC ranges under this model name:

TAC prefixLook it up
86008904run the lookup
86009104run the lookup
86009404run the lookup
86009804run the lookup
86012104run the lookup
86023805run the lookup

Dial *#06# to read the IMEI, then compare the first eight digits. Not listed? The lookup will still resolve the model if the range is filed under a different name.

The register dates this model to 2020, which decides how it is locked: handsets of that generation and market follow the rules described below.

Which lock does this model use

Huawei and Honor handsets are typically code-locked, with the code derived from the IMEI. Recent models sold through carriers are server-side locked instead.

On a Huawei P40 Pro the practical test is simple: insert a SIM from a different network. If the phone asks for a code, it is code-locked. If it refuses with “SIM Not Supported” or a carrier-lock notice, it is server-side locked and has to be released against the IMEI. If it just works, it is already unlocked.

Unlock Huawei P40 Pro by carrier

Unlock prices depend on the carrier and the model generation, so the same handset costs different amounts depending on who sold it. These are the carriers we hold a service for:

What to do, in order

  1. Read the IMEI (*#06#) and confirm the model above — a mismatched model is the most common reason an order is refused.
  2. Run the SIM lock check and the carrier check: about six cents, and they name the operator that owns the record.
  3. Run the blacklist check if you are buying the device rather than unlocking your own.
  4. Order the tier that matches the reported carrier — or, if you are the account holder and the device qualifies, request the free unlock from the carrier.
