After a long long story, I got the unlock codes for my Galaxy.

They sent me the NCK code (that the system prompts with a SIM from another carrier).
I have inserted the NCK code and my phone looks unlocked.
But sometimes it continuously show the roaming icon in the status bar.

They also sent me a MCK code.
Where and for what is this code? Does anyone know?
Is the MCK not informed that's causing the "roaming"?

Thanks! :thinking:
 
I had, but most of the results (if not all of them) are just ads of unlock services.
Or its just my bad english... :^(

One of these ads had a procedure of unlocking and it was exactly what I did with my Galaxy.
And it does not use the MCK code...

I just know that the MCK is an unlock code...

NCK = Network Control Key
MCK = ?????

How about that (although it's for different Samsung model)

Unlock code is composed like this: #0149*MCK# or #0111*NCK#

1. Press the # button on the keypad 1 time to display #
2. Type the 4 digit code which corresponds to your lock type (in most cases the MCK code will work with code:1)
3. Press the star (*) button on the keypad 1 time
4. Type your unlock code which corresponds to your lock type
5. Press the # button on the keypad 1 time
6. phone should now be unlocked
7, If phone is still locked, you have a 2nd lock activated so please check locks and enter 2nd code

You should consider contacting Samsung Customer Support.

Hi Andremuller, sorry to bother you, I know your post is an old one, but, where did you buy your cellphone, and who provided you with the NCK and MCK codes?

(thanks in advance)
