A LG LG-B220 is locked the same way any LG 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 LG LG-B220 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 17 TAC ranges under this model name:

TAC prefixLook it up
35150208run the lookup
35197808run the lookup
35204109run the lookup
35302808run the lookup
35352809run the lookup
35386708run 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 2009, which decides how it is locked: handsets of that generation and market follow the rules described below.

Which lock does this model use

Most handsets from this brand are either code-locked (the phone prompts for a network code when a foreign SIM is inserted) or released by the carrier that sold them. Which one applies depends on the model year and on whether it was sold through an operator — the IMEI check tells you before you pay for anything.

On a LG LG-B220 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 LG LG-B220 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:

Vodafone1 tier from $14

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.
