Huawei is a leading brand in the mobile and networking industry. It offers a wide range of phones and routers used globally. However, one common issue users face is network restriction. This means you can't use a SIM card from a different provider. The good news is — this problem is easy to fix by unlocking your Huawei device.
Unlocking your Huawei phone or router allows you to use any network carrier worldwide without limits. If you're a Huawei user and want to unlock your Huawei ALE-L21 P8 Lite, you’re in the right place. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process step by step. Keep reading to find out how to unlock your device easily and safely.
To unlock your phone, modem, or router, we only need its 15-digit IMEI number. You can get this by dialing *#06# on your phone. For a modem or router, check the IMEI from its software or device settings.
Unlocking via code does not void the warranty. It’s also the method officially recommended by Huawei. The unlock code is fetched from the original manufacturer or carrier database, which ensures a 100% success rate. Depending on your model, you may receive up to four types of codes:
- NCK – The main network unlock code that removes primary restrictions.
- SPCK – Service Provider Code to unlock subset restrictions (e.g., Tesco in the UK).
- SIMLock Block Unlock Reset Key – Needed if you’ve entered the wrong code too many times.
Please note: If you're unlocking a Huawei modem or router, only the NCK code is supplied.
