Alcatel Y855 router unlocking is possible, and its sub-model Y855v is available in Ghana by Surfline carrier. Alcatel Y855v comes with un-customized firmware, and after changing the default SIM card with another network provider, it asks for NCK code. Once the correct NCK is entered, it gets unlocked.
Now the problem is that Surfline has customized the software part, and there is no place to enter the APN, and users are unable to create a profile after unlocking the device. This post is for those users who have unlocked the device but can’t use any other network SIM card.
