What is my friends? Khristian here from UnlockRiver and in today's video, I'm going to show
you how to unlock Alcatel One Touch Fierce 2 phone to use it worldwide with any GSM SIM card
[intro]
So for this video, I'm going to be using an Alcatel One Touch Fierce 2 but this method will work
for any other Alcatel model. So it is very simple, we will do a factory unlock, in this case, my
phone is currently locked to T-mobile - I bought my phone on T-mobile - and I want to unlock it
because I want to switch to AT&T. So we will unlock this phone and we will be able to use it
worldwide. In this case, this method will also work for any other Alcatel model.
As you can see here, I already have my phone unlocked. I already tried it with a different Alcatel
and it works completely. Unfortunately, unlocking your phone, it's not free, you'll have to pay a
small amount but trust me guys, it is worth every penny to have you phone fully factory
unlocked, alright? Unfortunately, there is no way to do it for free. With that said, let's begin.
The first step we're going to do is open your phone application just as if you were dialing a call
and you will type the following command: *#06#. As you will see, the 15-digit IMEI number
will appear, this is probably the most important step of the whole unlocking procedure. We're
going to need this number to generate the unlock code so write it down somewhere or keep it
somewhere close because we're going to need it later.
Now we're going to switch to the computer and open your internet browser, I use Google
Chrome and you will go to the website: unlockriver.com. Let me just go ahead and type it here,
unlockriver.com and once you're in this website, you will need to fill-in information of the
phone you want to unlock. So we're going to do it step by step together.
So first, I'm going to select the real carrier which is T-Mobile United States. So I'm going to go
ahead and select that one and then you will select the brand of your phone. Of course we select
Alcatel, alright? And then we're going to select the exact model or the exact product from the
Alcatel brand. So I'm going to look forward, I got the One Touch Fierce from T-Mobile, Fierce
2. So as I said, this also works for any other method.
Now the next step, it's very important. Get your phone and you will type here your 15-digit
IMEI number, it must be 100% correct, otherwise this method will not work. We're going to go
ahead and insert it here, double check it to make sure it is 100% correct.
The next step is to write down your personal e-mail where you want to receive your unlock code.
So also make sure it is correct because they will send you your unlock code to this e-mail If you
scroll down, you will see an average delivery time and the price to unlock your phone. This
depends directly on your phone's carrier and model.
Alright, so after you have filled in all the information, we're going to go ahead and click where it
says, "Unlock Now". So I'm just going to click it here and on the following screen, you will see
an average-I'm sorry, you will a summary of your order so just read everything here, there is
important information you need to consider before unlocking your phone and as I promised, I
was going to show you exactly step by step how to unlock your phone. So I'm not going to skip
any step and I'm going to go straight through the payment in front of you and I'm just going to
click here where it says, "Check out with PayPal". Now, if you don't have a PayPal account
don't worry, you can use any other method or create an account. I do have a PayPal account so
I'm just going to login and it's going to be really fast. So let me just login here really quick,
that's it and I'm just going to click where it says, "Pay Now". Okay, so we should wait until we
see a confirmation message saying that the order was placed successfully. Let's give it a couple
of seconds, perfect. As you can see here it says, "Thank you for your order" and basically it
means that your phone-your order's currently processing. It can take 10 minutes, it can take 2
hours, 2 days, up to 3 business days, it depends on every case.
So I will show you how the e-mail will look like after you have received your e-mail. So I'm
going to go my personal e-mail account, gmail.com and yes, as you can see here, I got this e-mail
from unlockriver saying that the unlock code is ready. So let's open it, your Alcatel unlock code
is ready, it also includes step by step instructions on how to insert the unlock code into the phone
and of course the most important part, the actual unlock code.
Okay, so I'm going to show you how to insert once you have received your unlock code, I'm
going to show you how to insert this code into the phone. So we're going to power off the phone
completely and once it's fully off, we're going to remove the back case and the battery as well
and we will insert a SIM card, okay? So let me just go ahead and remove the battery right here,
okay? Now this is very important, my phone is currently locked to T-Mobile so I'm going to use
a different SIM card, one that is not from T-Mobile. For this example, I'm going to use AT&T
but you can use any other GSM SIM card, okay? So let me just try to open this, okay? So after
you have inserted the SIM card on your phone, just going to ahead and put back the battery and
we're going to wait until the phone is fully on, okay? On the meantime, I'm going to put the case
- the back cover - and we're going to press the power on button. So it will take a couple of
seconds until the phone is fully on and once the phone is back on, it will detect that you have
inserted a new SIM card - a non-accepted SIM card - an you will see the message, "network
locked" that's where you need to insert the unlock code that you received in your e-mail.
Now, you need to consider that the e-mail with the unlock code is unique so you will only
receive 1 code that is valid only 1 time for 1 specific phone. So in this case, this exact code will
not work for you and I'm just saying that because a lot of people ask in the comments. So let's
just wait and you will see that the phone will prompt to enter the unlock code.
As you can see here, I don't have any signal or carrier so I'm going to unlock it and it says, "SIM
network unlock PIN Remains: 3 tries". So I'm going to insert the code: 1-6-3-8-I'm sorry, 3-5-1-7-
7-8-1-1, we're going to click, "Done" and we should get a confirmation message saying that the
code was accepted. SIM network unlock successful, perfect. That's it guys, the phone is now
fully factory unlocked, now I can use it with AT&T, T-Mobile or any other GSM SIM card in
the world.
So that's all for now guys, I hope this video helped you unlock your phone. Give it a thumbs up
and thank you for watching my video.
