what is up guys today I'm going to show
you how to unlock any Alcatel OneTouch
phone in this case I'm when I use an
Alcatel OneTouch arrow 3 but its method
will work for any model any version of
Alcatel there is so in this case my
phone is currently locked to orange and
I won't unlock it to use it with my AT&T
SIM card from the US so the whole method
is very very simple I'll show you how to
do it step-by-step and I promise you
guys by the end of this video you will
know 100% how to unlock any Alcatel
phone out there now before we start I
have to mention that unfortunately when
looking at phone it's not free you will
have to pay a small amount to unlock
this phone but trust me guys in my
opinion is will worth it to have a fully
factory unlocked phone that is
compatible worldwide with any GSM
carrier and remember guys this is a
factory unlock which means that your
phone will be unlocked permanently there
are no risk and your phone won't be
damaged at all so it is very very safe
perfect so we are finally ready to begin
so the first step is to get the phone's
IMEI number that's a unique number for
every phone that's like the serial
number of your phone so to get IMEI
number simply go to the dial pad and
type the following command star hash
zero six hash so as you will see in your
screen your 15 digit IMEI number will
appear keep it somewhere close because
we will need this number later to
generate the unlock code to unlock this
phone so this is very very important
probably the most important step of the
whole unlocking procedure perfect so
once you have your IMEI number we'll go
ahead and open your internet browser I
use Google Chrome and you will have to
go to the website unlockriver.com so in
this website we will request the unlock
code to unlock this phone so we're gonna
have to fill in all the information here
about your phone so we're gonna start by
selecting the original carrier that your
phone is currently locked to so in my
case my phone was purchased in Spain in
orange so that's the name of the company
the original company so I'm gonna select
that one and then select the brand of
your phone so I'm going to select
Alcatel this method is the same for
Alcatel or any other brand usually and
then you have to select the exact model
you want to unlock so in this case I'm
going to unlock an idol 3
so I'm just going to type it here
Alcatel I roll three all right all
select that one and then the most
important part is entering your 15 digit
IMEI number make sure you enter it here
and it must be a hundred percent correct
if there's a mistake here this method
will not work so just make sure it is
correct all right perfect
now the final step is to write down your
personal email where you want to receive
your unlock code so also make sure you
write it down correctly here and once
you have filled in everything you scroll
down and you will see the average
delivery time to get the lock code and
the price to unlock your phone so you
can just read everything here and then
click unlock now once you're ready now
in the following page you will see a
summary of your order so just double
check everything here make sure you read
all the information here and there is
just a few things that you need to
consider before unlocking your phone
basically it's it's all safe don't worry
there-there is no risk involved and your
phone won't get damaged at all so it's
there are no downsides so once you have
read everything just go ahead and click
on proceed to checkout and complete your
payment and place your order and I'll
see you after I have placed my order it
will take a few seconds alright so if
you did everything correct you will see
a confirmation message saying that your
order was received and placed
successfully just like this perfect so
now you just have to wait until I send
you your unlock code and they will send
you that unlock code to your email so
just make sure you are checking it every
now and then the X estimated delivery
time is between 1 to 36 business hours
so be very patient in some cases is very
fast in some cases you have to wait up
to 36 hours but trust me it will arrive
eventually but just to have an idea I
will show you how the email will look
like so we're going to go to my personal
email account so we're going to go to my
gmail I'm just going to go here and type
my gmail account and I will show you how
the email will look like so as you can
see here I just got an email from unlock
River saying that my unlock code is
ready so let's go ahead and open that
email and you will see that you get this
email saying that your unlock code is
ready it includes step-by-step
instructions on how to enter the unlock
code
and the most important part the actual
unlock code so I'm going to show you how
to enter this unlock code into your
phone now keep in mind that this exact
unlock code will be different than yours
because this is calculated based on your
unique IMEI number all right perfect
let's switch it back to the phone and
once you have your phone go ahead and
completely power it off so when your
phone is fully off you will have to
insert a non-supported SIM card so for
example if your phone is locked to your
carreer insert another SIM card that
it's not from that carrier in this case
I'm going to insert a SIM card from
t-mobile I can be any other GSM carrier
SIM card so once you insert it go ahead
and turn it on and when your phone
powers on you will detect that you have
inserted a non-supported SIM card and it
will require an unlock code in order to
unlock it to use it with another SIM
card so we will enter the unlock code
you receive in your email you will get
the following message so just go ahead
enter your code and hit unlock and you
will see a success message if everything
went successful saying that your unlock
was accepted and that's it guys now the
phone is fully factory unlocked and
ready to use with any GSM carrier in the
world it is as simple as that guys I
hope this video help you unlock your
phone let me know if you have any
questions in the comment section down
below and thanks for watching see you
guys later
