Is your Spark phone showing something like “network not registered” or “SIM Not Supported” every time you insert a line from another career?

If yes, it means the device is locked. And it can only work with a SIM card from a specific Internet Service Provider (ISP).

You can’t make or receive calls and messages with another line. Neither can you access the internet through cellular data.

This error prompt can occur to Android and iPhone, so learning how to unlock a Spark phone should help solve the problem.

Before Unlock Your Spark Phone

All the following methods will work for Spark phones with “clean” IMEIs. So, if your phone is blacklisted (reported as stolen or lost), there’s no guarantee you’ll unlock it.

Before unlocking, you need to check the blacklist status to avoid time and money wasting. The only way to check is via an IMEI checker.

Differing from other IMEI checkers, WipeLock IMEI checker ensures a 100% accurate result. Just enter the IMEI number, you’ll know the blacklist status of your phone easily.

All blacklisted phones have their status marked in red, with reasons of blacklist detailed.
